Cool cotton dress for DS's Graduation on v. hot day

[KingscoteStaff]

Looking for a collared, dropped waist cotton dress in a geometric or styalised floral print - ideally dark blue on white or black on white. This is the Zara one, but it's sold out. Size 16.
Any suggestions?

Anthropologie Bettina Dress

It's more expensive than the Zara dress but meets your requirements.

Gabrielle Parker dresses
There might be something here.

I saw Me&Em have similar cuts but plain so worth a look through their website.

Monsoon have one although more holiday esq perhaps.

M&S cotton or linen dresses
Or M & S. I've applied filters for cotton or linen dresses.

Seasalt.

Yes I thought of that one. It's far nicer than the zara one in my opinion.

That's a good suggestion too.

This isn't navy or black but the green and white version I think would be right for the occasion.Seasalt dress

The black and white Anthropologie dress is more interesting

The Bettina dresses in black or blue are better than the Zara dress. The Bettina dress in black is interesting and unusual. The Bettina dresses are however 2 and a half times the price of the Zara dress. (£120 as opposed to £50).

I've been trying to find alternatives roughly in the Zara budget (Gabrielle Parker and M&S) Someone suggested Seasalt which are slightly more expensive. If budget were at least £150 to unlimited I could find loads of dresses which fit the remit.

Celtic & Co:

And more than 3 x's the price of the Zara dress.

I bought an anthropologie cotton dress for ds graduation and it is such lovely quality. So much better than Zara. If you are looking at Zara maybe have a look at H and M as they have some great prints and if I am honest the same quality as Zara.

What a helpful suggestion !H&M black cotton dress

This was second dress on H & M dresses filtered to midi.

Thank you all so much!

I definitely want a collar - not one of those V necks with a tie. I am 5ft and am quite happy to look like a potato sack, as long as it's a potato sach made of lovely material in a stunning pattern!
