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 love that style of dress, got a couple from Next last year and they are doing them again.

I also have a sewing pattern for the same kind of style and am going to cut one out this weekend - navy, but the skirt will be linen not poplin.

Would you be able to link the Next ones please @TragicMuse ?

Basically, search for 2 in 1 dress and you should get them.

I bought a beautiful linen dress from Jigsaw, gorgeous red shade, great fit from the pin tucks. It’s a winner for me!

There’s a shorter version and a top in the same style but different colours.

Hey sorry to harass you after you've already given me so much useful info, but I have one more question! What's the material like after washing? I've tried this on, and I do really love the shape, but I'm finding the linen a bit stiff and formal.

No worries if yours hasn't had a wash yet.

I haven’t washed it yet! But I’m expecting it to soften - it already has from a couple of wears…
