Show me your lovely summer dresses

[LabradorsInThePond]

The sun’s shining over Essex and I’ve been awake since stupid o’clock (after my Labrador did something unspeakable in the kitchen).

The mind has turned to the possibility that soon the summer frocks ( with trainers, sandals, DM’s) will make an appearance. And I want more frocks.

I picked these up in March. Orange one is lovely, blue is yet to be worn as for high summer.

If you’ve found a gem this year, please show and tell 🙂

I got this recently it's only £20 in the sale!!

And this on the hush sale can't see it online anymore so must be sold out 😔

I've bought this for my brothers wedding next month, but reckon it's summery enough to wear anywhere 😊 what do you all think?

Nice @Iamclearlyamug I've been on the lookout for something with that kind of neckline.
You could dress that up or down easily!

Brilliant

ive just ordered this, to go with platform converse.
its completely see through so was planning on wear cycling shorts and a longline bralet type top underneath, I’ve lost a bit of weight so thought sod it and bought something I wouldn’t usually wear!

what about pluss sizes, any recommndations?

sorry to hijack thread!

@JenniferAlisonPhilipaSue
I bought this recently and on its first wearing I got lots of compliments (short/average height and wear a size 16)
I love it

That's a gorgeous dress! but wonder if it will look too 'wedding'. I'd love something plus size I could wear to work in summer, rather than a one off thing.

@MrsS92
I'd wear a full slip underneath it. M&S do them. Or a half slip and bralet. Personally I hate cycling shorts.

Great thread, not good for my bank balance though!

I love that Roman one @Iamclearlyamug

I bought this, have a christening and a couple of celebration dinners coming up so I'll wear it then:

Not sure whether it's too dressy for day to day but that's probably because I'm rarely put of jeans!

I have just bought this

Im after a printed shirt dress.
Saw one on a very stylish women who dashed past me .
It was a sort of Provencal type blue print.
Very simple and crisp, NOT viscose.
Any ideas where it might be from gratefully received 🙂

Just bought this: www.coastfashion.com/layered-ruffle-printed-maxi-dress/ACC03571-808-22.html

I think I need to wait till this trend for frills and puffed sleeves and florals and big long tiers ends, I don’t like anything so far - is it just me?

Some flattering dresses on here.

I'm dreading it going back to body con though @PuppyMonkey I didn't suit me when I was slimmer so won't suit me now I hope whatever style is next it's a relaxed one!

The ruffles are well positioned on that dress they create a line straight down the dress to the floor, which always looks great.

Not sure if I'm making sense there but I know what I mean 😉

I adore this! If I had a different body shape, I would buy it in an instant!

Try Zara, Boden, Ralph Lauren @TheLightYears seen something similar in all of them out could have been The Zara dress from last year or was a blue provincial type pattern in cotton, send the viscose my way crisp doesn't work on me!

I have just bought these:

It’s nice to have a bit of pink in my wardrobe for a change, everything else I own seems to be blue, green or black!

I love the White Stuff dress that @CharlotteSt posted. Luckily it’s out of stock in my size, or I would be seriously tempted and I don’t need any more summer dresses!

I just bought this one for those super hot days in London movesgood.com/collections/trousers-dresses-skirts/products/jossy-dress-black-one-size?variant=31871724585003

@JenniferAlisonPhilipaSue

Take a look at Wallis, they have some lovely curve size dresses in at the moment and on sale 🙂

Loving the dresses on this thread!

Layered gold chains and an orange lip? Oh dear 😂
