Taking this one on holiday.
Wore it to a 'do the other week & it got lots of compliments. Feels very summery.

Had last year's version of this, maxi floaty gorgeous and with pockets

In fact have a growing number of their viscous dresses too. None of them have cost me more than £40. They are just cut so beautifully

Also Apricot do fantastic maxi dresses in viscous. I cant find mine but this here is similar. You do have to trawl through a bit of polyester though to find the gems though

Bought a few from here & have had loads of compliments, even from DD15’s GF! They fit from size 10 up to 20 & are really flattering. Definitely buying more after payday, although they’re very reasonably priced & there’s free postage if you spend over £40.

I cant help as I mainly shop on Vinted but I will say I think the Sainsburys Tu range is really good for wearable, pretty summer dresses.

Ophy83 · 27/07/2024 12:53

Where are you going? If France, it is worth popping in to the little independent boutiques. They are often found in the side streets off the main market square and don't look like much from the outside but tend to have lots of gorgeous dresses for around €50. Also stylish little jackets

VimtoVimto · 27/07/2024 14:58

I saw a lovely Tu dress in Sainsburys yesterday, but I can’t find it online.

loads Of the dresses in Tesco are on sale at the moment. I picked up at couple of nice cotton ones.

VenusClapTrap · 27/07/2024 20:26

I’ve been wearing this Plumo dress a lot and loving it - can dress it up or down, it’s lovely soft, floaty cotton and generously cut so wafts beautifully.

Above budget but have you looked at Aspiga?
I bought a few of their maxi dresses after seeing a recommendation on here.

I think Peacocks also have some lovely ones in most of the time (as long as you arent a label snob!😄).

Ginflinger · 28/07/2024 20:23

Love the om baby ones, never come across them before

Trixiefirecracker · 29/07/2024 12:39

Free people would be where I would look but most likely over budget, or Monsoon? But I like prints. Uniqlo is definition of boring for me!
