Cotton, patterned midi dress 16/18

Drumbalina · 2023-06-29T13:38:16+00:00

Can anyone find one for me please… Horrible tummy and upper arms so needs to flatter those so absolutely no sleeveless styles or fitted. it’s for an outdoor summer daytime bbq so more casual than “party wear” and ideally cotton so it’s ok if it’s hot! And patterned to hide any spillages! thanks!

TheGirlWhoLived · 29/06/2023 14:39

I know just the thing! Let me find it, it’s from next…. I have it in ecru stripe and khaki but there was definitely a patterned one. Also petite if you are on the short side like me!

TheGirlWhoLived · 29/06/2023 14:40

hmm when I wear it there is a lot more sleeve than it looks on this picture! here

It’s nice but a bit too short for a midi, and definitely not upper arm friendly for me. Thank you though!

I should have added I’d looked at M&S and whilst technically they do answer the wish list, none are grabbing me so after some hidden gems!

Seasalt has some very forgiving comfortable cotton jersey dresses that are easy to wear and not too snug. I have a couple of their Carnmoggas style (only now on ebay) which is similar to the current Pier View:

You might find something at Sosander. I have this one, it's much cooler than it looks, an absolute dream to wear, and I've lots of compliments on it. It's quite long, though - only just a midi on me, and I'm 5'9"!

Oh, and Sosander have 20% off everything atm, so this is well under your £100 budget, as are most other dresses on their site

HamHand · 29/06/2023 15:33

I just bought a gorgeous dress from M&S. their website is down atm but it’s on the app. I have a horrible tummy but this is so flattering

This one's good but not cotton, not sweaty though fhwt.app.link/xkhLon5dQAb

Does This sort of thing float your boat, @Drumbalina?

(For some reason the picture preview doesn't seem to load, annoyingly - but it's in the John Lewis sale, marked down to £75. Blue and white geometric print, cotton, midi, sleeves, roomy. I'd quite like one!)
