Help finding a dress like this

[vaccinesabroad]

Looking for loose fitting thin 100% cotton dresses to wear overseas in extreme heat to give good skin coverage. This dress would be good except the colour is so unflattering. Sleeves can be shorter but must cover shoulders/neck and not be fitted style. Anyone seen anything similar?

this from daughters of India? You can tie up the top.

Veronica Jersey Midi Dress - Printed Summer Style - Seasalt Cornwall

Seasalt have some options

Google the River Goddess website. Absolutely lovely flowing dresses in gorgeous prints, in lengths maxi/midi/mini. Based in Australia, so I'm not sure how long delivery takes.

I find great summer holiday clothes at the Blue Diamond garden centres, and I sizing is very generous

I've been ogling this dress for YEARS as I love the print! I know it would make me look like Auntie Mildred's conservatory sofa, though 😂 and I wouldn't pay £100 for the sofa, let alone wear it.

I've got a couple of smock dresses meeting OP's specifications, from Joe Brown's. Unfortunately they don't have summer stuff in yet.

I like dramatic prints! But then I'm tall so that helps. I think this is a great dress & print too - but bright blues aren't my colour, sadly ...

Where are you going? This dress is too much for a hot country. It is literally an insulator.
Speaking from experience having lived in a humid and hot country. Also what is the cultural norm there? If you are adamant to have long sleeves, go white all the way.

For nearly £200?!! I mean it’s a lovely bit £200?!
Ironically boasting that it’s made in India where they probably pay the dressmaker pittance.

Try East or Daughters of India

Hope and ivy have lots of lovely dresses on their website (not actually purchased anything)

Fair point. I would love one but I’m a bit too tight. I think the cotton would be lovely and flowy though.

Have you looked at Buddhastones. This dress was the first that came up but they do lots in different colour/patterns/plain

@VaccineSticker why do you think it is an insulator? I am looking for very thin lightweight 100% cotton fabric (unlike many of the polyester suggestions here or cotton with polyester linings) and the sleeves are short not long in the photo and I did say I am happy just to have shoulder/neck coverage. I dont want fitted anywhere ie to be loose/unfitted at waist etc for comfort in heat. Have spent much of my adult life working in some of the hottest countries and I know which styles give me modest coverage and are cool to wear. Plain white is not practical for my circumstances.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Any other thoughts now there is more stock in the stores. Ideally under £60. Thanks

I posted this last time. It's very similar in shape to the one you posted originally, & comes in six colourways/prints (these are my favourite three) - all very different so they don't necessarily look like the same dress. The belt is removable, & it's unfitted, fine cotton & unlined. It costs £27.99.

H&M also have this pure cotton one. Again, if you remove the belt it's unfitted. A bit over budget though.

This is 50 cotton: 50 viscose & unlined.

Cotton. On budget.

Another version of the one above.
