Interailing summer dress

[fleeceandwellies]

Hi I'm going to be inter-railing this summer. Its going to be hot and I'll have a rucksack. I'm looking for a bomb proof dress that can literally be screwed up and chucked in a bag for the evenings. I'm 56, 5ft 4 size 10 , decent boobs, nothing really above the knee pls. Cheap and needs to be able to be slung in a sink and wrung out to dry over night. Is there such a thing? thank you

4' 11" & 3/4! My old friend Sara from uni days, who was the same height as you, also insisted on that very important 3/4 inch!

Love your user name btw - such a pretty mushroom, especially when cooked with chanterelles!

Have you seen Decathlon’s hiking dresses?

Yes it's simple & versatile, & is cotton gauze too. And if OP needs something cheaper than the other ones I posted, it fits the bill. That style of dress is great for summer.

Personally though I don't shop at Matalan. It comes lower than Zara, H&M etc in terms of good practice & sustainability ratings. Still a notch above Shein & Temu though! But I'd rather hunt down one of the others second-hand, or something similar, if I really needed to save on cost (I buy most of my clothes that way). I also enjoy the thrill of the hunt!

I like Matalan for swimwear and vest tops

Never look at the sustainability or anything

I'm also going interrailling, looking for similar.

I bought this https://www.zara.com/uk/en/linen-blend-midi-dress-with-belt-p04745035.html?v1=500610589&v2=2420836

And I've bought a load of vinted, best of luck

So you think I have never been to any wild places and are patronising me based on a dress recommendation? Have you worked in the Antarctic post office? I have. Have you? That's fairly wild, believe it or not. And there's a toilet - not that you would know, because you've never been! I never get why people need to be so rude and patronising to others when they don't know them from a bar of soap. Wildness is fun for travels, but not so much when reflected in manners.

Steady on...

I do not think anyone is interrailing to the Antarctic....

And no, a post office anywhere is not wild

By wild, I mean where there is a good stretch of land/water without buildings, or perhaps only ruins or buildings in seasonal or occasional use. I do not count extreme clinate or weather as identical to wild.

No bra needed - that's good! Though probably only up to a D cup or so, which I no longer am, sadly ...

I try to check things out. Far from perfect about it - I'm not quite knitting my own jumpers from my cat's fur combings ...!! But I do my best.
