Help me find a colourful, bright midi dress please

[Teapleasemilknosugar]

For a wedding. I had my invite upgraded from evening to full day guest quite late in the game! Need a dress quick, under 2 weeks.

Want something colourful! Preferably with short sleeves and pockets and flattering on a tummy (pre-operative hernia). Colour will make me feel more confident in my body that I'm not currently friends with.

Budget up to £100.

Thanks!

The sleeves aren’t as tight as they look on the photos. And they more than adequately cover my flabby arms, so win win!

Another vote for Twisted Wunder 💃🏻

Lots of midi dresses in the Joe Browns sale

I just received this today and it definitely fits the colourful brief. It’s super flattering on and the skirt is so swishy. It does have pockets but it is a bit over budget in the sale. It’s such a lovely crispy cotton too, it feels wonderful on.

Oliver Bonas might be worth a look.

Slightly over budget Olivia Rubin that is definitely colourful, but you can get 15% off in app.

This Nobody's Child dress comes in various colours.

Zara Linen Shirt Dress might not be colourful enough, but looks flattering.

Limited sizes remaining, but this Jigsaw Dress fits your brief.

https://www.sezane.com/en/product/talma-dress/artemis#size-6 - lovely but over budget

Don't know what size you are OP (they only have this in a 6), but this Fat Face dress is absolutely gorgeous. I wore it to a wedding few weeks ago (definitely not in a 6 🤣) and never had so many compliments in my life.

Dancing Leopard has lots of big prints and colourful dresses

www.dancingleopard.co.uk/collections/maxi-dresses

Lots of options on Joanie

https://joanieclothing.com/alice-embroidered-square-neck-midi-dress-orange.html

Me&Em have a sale on. I find their clothes very good quality if, at full price, somewhat out of my financial sphere.

I have a wrap dress from dancing leopard that's gorgeous and super flattering on the tummy. I think mine is their cayenne style in cobalt with white stars, but that doesn't seem to be stocked any more. They have plenty of colourful prints around the £50-80 mark.

Oh, @Waterlogged beat me to it!

Oliver Bonas have got some lovely dresses atm.
www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/dresses/midi-dresses

This is colourful, but only available in a small.

I was going to suggest Popsy too. Here is a link to their midi dresses.
https://www.popsyclothing.co.uk/collections/midi-dresses?page=3

Don't think anyone's mentioned Popsy yet, very comfy and colourful.
Popsy dresses, with pockets! Popsy dresses, with pockets!

Monsoon dresses are really long so good if you're tall.
I find Joanie are random fit wise, so I've had to order two sizes and send back which is a pain.
I also tried Twisted Wunder from Simply Be and the static was terrible so I sent back.

Try ASOS or Zara for colourful, flattering dresses with short sleeves and pockets. They often have great finds within your budget.
