Where can I find beautiful summer dresses at a decent price?

[ijustlovecoffee]

I’ve seen these four dresses and love them, but the cheapest is £42 and that’s a lot of money.

I really want a good collection of 4 or 5 beautiful summer dresses that I can wear for work, on holiday, at the weekend etc.

I am a size 18, not too confident about my arms but also I want to stop hiding them just because of silly insecurities.

I’ve got a bit of an apron belly so like to hide that with floaty skirts.

Any recommendations welcome!

I’ve had that blue one delivered today. I’m 5,4 and size 12. It’s deffo for a taller thinner person. The skirt is more full than it looks in the photo. I looked like a right nob

Next have some nice options

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I think you’d be better off pooling your money and buying 1 or 2 really good dresses. A well made good quality dress will be something that will last you years. I have probably 3 good dresses that I wear on repeat- I add a cardigan/blazer/scarf/t shirt or shirt underneath to make them different. And I’m quite happy to rewear things constantly. Failing that I think you’d get some really nice things on vinted for £20 a pop. I filter by brand- I’ve picked up a Margaret Howell skirt for £30, a Roland Mouret dress for £40 etc.

Try looking on Next clearance and filtering for your size. Lots of bargains and lots of brands. Have them delivered to your local store, try and if no good can return there and then.

I also rate H&M. Lots of good quality cotton if you get in early enough.

Blue Vanilla website has some stuff that may suit too.

Happy hunting.

Have a look in charity shops, OP. There are some around where all items are £3 or under. Our local one has loads of dresses in, for £3 each

I meant to add, I got a Self Portrait dress for £3 in a charity shop

Look on new look op.

These two ladies are amazing. Great tips on how to style from Claire on insta too. Might not help directly with an actual dress though!
