Lightweight Jacket

Looking for a jacket to wear over dresses. Due to overheating need it to be shirt not jacket weight and ideally non creasing. I am a 14/16 with 36h menopause boobs. Something maybe like this but a little more fitted and ideally not linen due to creasing https://www.whitestuff.com/womens/coats-and-jackets/dus-purple-tabby-linen-jacket/?gclid=CjwKCAjwyeujBhA5EiwA5WD7V0jJ3hyiOuYmZ8glStaGNrY89iBSiLf94NZkPEVY82Dfj1C2A5cZhoCSTMQAvDD_BwE

Oska Ischiko might have what you're looking for

I have this one in green. I don't pull the drawstring in which makes it look far more formal than the way it's been styled.. It's cotton. The green colour is quite neutral and goes well with any other colour. I wear it over dresses.

Thanks, quite like the Brissa blouse. Ideally though looking for something more fitted for wearing with midi dresses in the office if anyone has any suggestions

I recently bought this jacket in black and navy. The styling on the website is terrible and they both look much better on. (honestly)

They manage to be fitted but quite boxy at the same time - if you're wearing over a dress with sleeves or with a cardigan as well it's not constricted.

I also bought from Whistles just before lockdown 2 really useful jackets to wear over dresses - one navy , one black. They're a jersey material but more formal than a cardigan and definitely jackets rather than knitwear. They're both fitted and waist length. I don't know if they still have such a thing but might be worth a look.
