What dresses are you all wearing?

Most of my Summer clothes no longer fit and I desperately need a couple of cool, floaty dresses and some shorts that are not too short.

What have you all bought recently that you’ve loved?

I really need some inspiration.

I've recently bought this dress, it's very fine cotton, and beautifully wafty, it comes in lots of different prints.

I just adore OneHundred Stars clothing!

That is stunning! A beautiful shape. Is the colour on screen accurate? Such an unusual shade of red. Do you think it would work on someone tall and curvy (the tallness being relevant for where boobs sit)

Yes, the dress looks good but I’ve never seen an item so badly photoshopped! Zoom in on the pic….whoever tried to photoshop it needs to go back to IT classes for 12year olds!
Still a nice dress though!

I'm wearing Tallulah & Hope kaftan dresses.
They are viscose & so cool - dont stick at all, just hang beautifully from my shoulders creating ease & breeze. I initially wasn't keen on the front split but its a kaftan game changer keeping air circulating everywhere.

Cotton only options.. these shorts are brilliant for the price

Red side stripe jogger shorts

I know the website describes these shorts as burgundy but they look more red to me - what colour are they in reality?

@PomegranateVase I adore the colour of that green dress & the fact thats its a 100% cotton, even the lining. I wonder whether the front can be sewn up a bit as its a bit low. But then the back means you can't wear a bra anyway 🤔

Are those Asda dresses any good? I WFH so all my clothes are cheap and cheerful at the moment as I don’t see anyone 😝

I have this George dress which is lovely in this weather! https://direct.asda.com/george/women/dresses/black-sleeveless-tiered-jersey-mini-dress/GEM1417948,default,pd.html?cgid=D1M1G20C1

I love George dresses. Find them true to size. Great fabric. Well made for the price. I holiday abroad a lot and they are perfect for me.

I’m wearing this today, but in the multi coloured version.It reminds me a bit of those sheets we had in the 80’s. I love it and it’s very cool and comfortable.

I came here to recommend this dress too (and we were like minded in wearing it yesterday.)

I wore this for the first time over the weekend and so many people complimented it. It's very cool and floaty. And it's on sale. It also comes in a plainer blue colour which I'm tempted by.

Beautiful! I read this thread on nightshift, this dress arrived today 😂 Looks great on- perfect for holiday next week!

I’m tempted, although I do have many dresses…

It’s not that one. I couldn’t find it on the H&M site either. I bought it in store. Please excuse the mess in this pic - it’s in my steaming hook in my laundry cupboard.

That's really nice. Not as loud a green as the one I thought it was.

Don't apologise for any mess - have you seen the background in my photo upthread??!!!
