Cotton, patterned midi dress 16/18

[Drumbalina]

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!

Try a Medium or Large.

this dress is very flattering - comes in different lengths, colours, is cotton, has sleeves and good price too.

I really like the clothes site Euphoria - not sure if you have to go via their Facebook page but it's worth it... lots on there for a fuller figure and most have sleeves!

Try H&M

Duns of Sweden gathered dresses.
Made of cotton and in lovely prints, especially the floral ones

Boden have some nice ones in the sale.

Have a look at these ones

How about this OP?

I also prefer 100% cotton dresses and this summer have found some lovely ones in Zara and H&M. Just had a look- lots of pretty ones with longer sleeves for under £50:

And from H&M with shorter sleeves but covering the upper arms:

I've got this www.next.co.uk/g88117s2/c42884#c42884

It's really thin cotton and super cool

I'm an 18 and had loads of compliments

Have a look at muthahood/strong girls club.

It's well under budget, and the images don't do it justice, but this is stunning! I've bought it in all the patterns because it's so nice. Looks way more expensive than it is. Fits the brief (cotton. Skims tummy, sleeves, will hide spills, I'm 5 2ft and it's a great length) Size down though! And ignore the weird pose the model is doing!

Forgot to say I'm a 14-16 and have it in size 10 and 12. 10 is better but 12 is fine so def size down

I was going to suggest Muthahood too.

Mountain Warehouse have some nice patterned midi dresses and very reasonably priced

I’m similar to you, and I have this. The model is wearing it on her waist, but I wear the elastic slightly higher and I think it’s fine.

Thanks so much everyone, I’m going to have a proper look through today as some lovely options here!

There are a few on here, OP.
