Where oh where can I find a COTTON summer dress?

[rosebud5678]

For context, I'm 54 and just looking for something floral and pretty to wear to my daughter's graduation.

Everything I find seems to be made of cheap man-made material which will make me sweat (even more than usual!)

Any ideas? I have looked in M & S, White Stuff, Boden, Cotton Traders and Next so far. Help!

Cos. In my experience they are good quality and well-made. Loads to choose from made of cotton - I've just spotted this one which I love www.cos.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/dresses/product.oversized-poplin-kaftan-dress-green.1085416001.html

Those palava and pink city print dresses are gorgeous! Plus like a few on monki too. Perfect thread for what I’m looking for too!

Also look at Wolf & Badger

Arket and Cos.

Hush have lots, I like this one. £99.

SeaSalt

Monsoon have lots

I chanced upon a random cotton maxi dress in Tesco yesterday. Cream and black slightly Aztec style pattern with sleeves. Sadly no pockets but 25% off compensates for that!

Here it is!

I like this, but possibly too flouncy for some

Have a look at Tu in Sainsburys. Some gorgeous summer dresses that you could dress up with heels and jewellery.

Hobbs cotton & floral

I like East for dresses, they might be a little to kaftan-y for you though. I'm currently thinking about this one for myself.

Have you looked at Next? Once you're on the dresses page you can use the filter to select the "made with" option to choose 100% cotton. There are over 800 cotton dresses listed.

Fat Face, Wierd Fish and Seasalt also have cotton dresses.

Cos. I bought a beautiful cotton dress for a wedding a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled with it.

Expensive but 100% cotton and pretty:

I have stumbled on many floral cotton bargains:

Thanks @KimikosNightmare for those links - just ordered this!

Palava dress

Oh that's lovely. The other great thing about Palava is that they are not fast fashion. It will last forever and their dresses are made in the UK.
