Ive got midi dresses and want to find some good quality shorter dresses. I’m looking for -

preferably cotton (def not polyester or linen)
fitted shape on top
has a waist
pref v neck
short sleeves (but not bloody puff!)

Any suggestions? I am a size 12 with boobs. Thank you.

What do you mean by ‘shorter’? And do you mean for everyday or for a party? To me the garment you’ve described sounds a bit like a child’s drawing of a dress; there’s no flow to it as every section stops almost as soon as it starts.

Anyhow - good quality cotton?

@FlipSnip that’s lovely and exactly the sort of thing.

By shorter I mean above knee. Everyday rather than occasion.

I'm on the lookout for a very similar type of dress so will come back if I spot anything else that fits the brief.

The giant sack-like dresses like the ones posted above just don't work for me!
