French Riviera fashion - HELP

I’m off to Nice in the summer. I’m aiming to make a lot of my clothes to take away to try and reduce my consumption of fast fashion. I have made some shorts, and a couple of skirts.

My next aim is to make the screenshotted dress pattern in a couple of fabrics - a linen look and the polka dots.

Can someone point me somewhere for some more inspiration of what I should be looking to make?

I’m thinking lots of floaty looks to keep me cool, with some trousers and shorts mixed in, but could really do with some inspiration!

I like the white dress on this McCall's pattern cover. That would feel fresh and cool.

I’d love something like that without the buttons down the front!

Just a hint - if you’re looking for patterns Vinted is your friend. Lots there for just a pound or two.
