Help! Last minute sun holiday - any recs for where to find dresses?

Hello everyone

Due to the holiday we’d planned ending up not happening because of illness, I’ve just booked a last minute beach/pool/hotel sun for the end of school holidays. Previous holiday was to a cold country and I’ve just realised I don’t have any hot weather holidays clothes really!

can anyone recommend anywhere - preferably online as I am a single parent with primary DC so going round the shops isn’t the easiest. I’ve been looking but most stuff seems out of stock as we are now into sales.

Mainly looking for dresses/skirts. Am curvy ( big boobs) hourglass size 10/12, quite short. Can’t wear shorts ( or anything above knee really) due to scarring. Ideally natural fibres if at all possible.

Doesn’t have to be anything fancy, although even though it’s just me and the kids I would like to look vaguely presentable/nice ( stylish is a step too far in ambition I suspect!). Any ideas very welcome!

Have you tried eBay? I've bought loads of barely worn things from there :)

It sounds like you are a similar shape to
me and I get lots of dresses from New Look. They have loads in at the moment with a shirred top which I find really flattering on my big boobs.

Joe Browns have nice dresses

So I managed to pop to the shops - the ones round here have nearly entirely swapped to late summer/autumn stock so really was nothing at all! So definitely going to have to be online.
