For evening wear but needs to be cool! knee length or longer, prefer a bit of a sleeve. What can you find me please?

No sleeve though

What about a black broderie anglais dress? I've got this and also wear it undone like a kimono style jacket over jeans and a cami?

I went to M&S today to see if I could find a nice midi summer dress. I'm sorry but it was just frump galore. They could and should do so much better. It wouldn't take that much to add a little style to their lines, no?

IfIhearmumagaintoday · 27/06/2022 18:55

No sleeves but it looks classy from Zara! Could wear a blazer?

Back in May I bought a midi dress, slightly puffed short sleeve and v neck. From Primark so no idea if it’s still there.

asparalite · 27/06/2022 20:20

Also quite a few to look at in Cos.

pbj · 27/06/2022 20:22

Oliver Bonas have nice summer dresses in black with long sleeves however I think they’re mini not midi length.

Jungfraujoch · 27/06/2022 20:27

Lots to look at! Thanks ladies xx

Rina the Manamou dress arrived and I love it! But a little flesh flashing - can I get away with black underwear? Big pants I think as I’m the wrong side of 50!

Glad you love it - I wear a long black or nude vest under mine, but you could definitely wear black cycling shorts and a plain black bra, be brave, especially as you wanted it for evening wear!

harriethoyle · 28/06/2022 14:34

I'm tempted by this M and S dress

for work, under a jacket... Not sure why the link isn't working!

Hoppinggreen · 28/06/2022 14:37

someone on here recommended a black maxi dress from M&S with a shirred bodice and Broderie sleeves. A few people bought it (including me) and loved it

I just ordered this, arrives Saturday

WearsMyMoney just did a blog with a lot of black summer dress suggestions:

I find it useful for styling tips

If worried about it being a bit see through, Next do a pair of pure cotton slips, one black, one white which are great. Can use under thin fabric kaftan/ dress on holiday to turn beach wear into suitable for evening and can also double up as nighties.

I got a lovely one from next last year. Similar to this one Black Dress Next

They have this one too
