decided i want to start to wearing some nicer clothes for the summer, any dress etc reccomendations or tips?

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

yes getting a bit bored wearing jeans all the time,
fancy getting a few nice dresses etc for the summer, just wondered if you have any tips ?

check out the much-scorned school run dress thread as there are lots of nice links to great dresses on there
I'll find a link in a sec.

I like this site here. Lots of easy to wear dresses/skirts etc which aren't too dressy and don't cost a fortune

oh thanks fullmoon, thats really nice of you.

thankyou tillyscoutsmum, i know what ill be doing today, reserching my new look

except many of them are a) vansihingly cheap cotton b) see through and c) made for 20yos

I had to return the Carefree Summer Dress because it made me look like I was trying to be Heidi.
Structured / tailored dresses thus (except not so blardy pricey) suit me much better.

I sent the Carefree Summer Dress back as well - I could have probably got away with it 5 years ago - but not now

The wrap dress and one of the longer ones were ok though - as were a couple of the skirts and tops

mrs B that's really nice, would suit anyone i think!

fatface have some nice ones

hi, i really like this one from tillys link

what sort of things go well with it flip flop type casual shoes?

are you young with small norks and lovely arms?
if so wear with flipflops
otherwise nooooooooooooo

im 30, medium norks
and lovely arms

ok with no bra? [suspicious]

yep esp if its got a h/neck

I have just ordered that wrap dress from the link. I hope it will be okay? It looks like it might be. I need a dress with sleeves, I DO.

MrsB your bravissimo one looks good too, but concerned about lack of sleeves.

although bit expensive for sitting about in the garden, although i do need holiday clothes too.
