Cotton summer dresses

[Carbiesdreamhouse]

I'm after cotton summer dresses that have pretty patterns (not plain linen boiler suit numbers). Boden used to be my go to but not it's mostly polyester and ridiculously expensive. Which brands/stores do this kind of thing?

I’ve actually had quite a few nice ones from ASOS, it just takes a while to wade through all the crap

Primark has some linen and cotton summer dresses at the moment

Jigsaw.. M&S!

I bought a Tallahassee dress from Weird Fish in the sales at the end of last summer.
I only had a chance to wear it a couple of times but it was cool and comfortable and comes in a range of patterns.

Hopefully the link above works - on M&S you can filter by fabric

I got some nice ones in Joe Browns of all places last year. Haven't seen anything nice on there again though.

Monsoon maybe worth a look?

I like the look of this at JL.

Next.

H&m have some lovely ones too but like asos it requires searching through a lot of questionable tat too and checking the materials carefully. Zalando let you filter by fabric too.

I doubt it's regularly mentioned on the S&B boards but Mountain Warehouse have had some for the past couple of years.

Lovely thank you! Will have a look through. It needs to be online as I can't get to the shops without a very excited toddler who doesn't allow for label browsing.

Is forgotten all about weird fish. I like the idea of browsing by fabric too. So fed up with material that looks like I'll end up swimming in sweat

Whistles has quite a few like you describe. And a sale now on.

Seasalt. Cotton, nice patterns and pockets!

Lands End?

I can recommend this M&S one attached. It's made in a really lightweight cotton that's like a cotton voile. I have 4 in different colourways that I've bought over the years. It's perfect for hot weather.
H&M are also really good for cotton dresses if you can find a style that suits you.

@wildalmond if you’re going to advertise your website be a bit more subtle about it, you’re bumping some very old threads over the last few days

I love Emily and Fin for cotton dresses. Lovely patterns and flattering styles. emilyandfin.co.uk/

I have a couple from Mango. The Weird Fish dresses shrunk terribly for me.

Have you really just bumped a nearly year old thread to advertise your own site?

Just to clarify, it's not my site and I wasn't advertising it. I was only responding to threads of people who were asking/looking for what it was I had stumbled upon. Funnily enough my contributions were actually relevant to the thread - unlike your comments which didn't actually add any value.

Nevertheless, congratulations on your crusade 👏

Great to see the many types of characters on this forum.
