Dress recs

[PetulaDark]

Hi,

just looking for some recommendations as I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I have a lunch coming up with friends and want to find a nice dress - smart but not too smart, probably not patterned, fairly summery. Needs to be long as I’m not happy baring my legs so midaxl or maxi, I’m size 10-12 but with a belly do empire line makes me look pregnant.

has anyone seen anything? I’ve looked at Arket, cos, & other stories, Ganni, but can’t seem to see anything. I’m not liking the puff sleeves/tiered dresses that are everywhere! Budget up to around £100.

thanks in advance!

This is cool.

Gorgeous but over budget.

This meets your criteria, I think?

Patterned, but not in contrasting colour and draping and loosely-tie belt would give shape and actually disguise belly.

The Etsy one also comes in natural linen and dusty rose colours, if bright orange isn't your thing!
