If only I had some idea whether your budget is more Mango, or Marni …

HotBothered · 27/06/2026 21:21

Well happy to spend upto 150, more if I saw something lovely

But obviously if it was 50 quid in mango then happy days

Nobody’s child

I got a nice one from River Island and two from Boden, ordered 4 from Nobody’s Child and wasn’t impressed at all.

My immediate thought is that there’s almost literally nothing else but maxi dresses!

Devilsmommy · 28/06/2026 06:08

I got some lovely ones from Next

Icanseeasquirrel · 28/06/2026 06:18

Next sale starts next week. I’ve got three in my presale list half price. Cotton ones reduced from around 80 to 40. There are hundreds.

On Style and Beauty we love a search.

PP’s suggestion of the Next sale is a good shout. Roman have loads of maxi dresses online.

I got two for £20/£25 in the Very sale this week.

Just look for cotton, maybe viscose, and avoid polyester as you want cool - and you’re bound to find a few.

Aspiga has beautiful cotton dresses at the moment, top of your budget but excellent quality and wear well .

I keep looking at this one trying to convince myself I don't need ithttps://www.next.co.uk/style/SU918766/G61408

Apricot had some gorgeous maxi dresses a month or so ago.

abitbloodybrighteroverthere · 28/06/2026 08:21

too much flesh?

Heavens, @ZenNudist - are you planning to spend the next fifty years of your life wrapped in a shroud?

ZenNudist · 28/06/2026 08:34

@abitbloodybrighteroverthere I've got lines on my décolleté area (worse in the morning from sleeping) whereas my face looks 37 I reckon my neck to cleavage age me more.

Ophy83 · 28/06/2026 09:52

Hush and Seasalt have some nice ones.

Do not trust a company called Clovedale. They have lovely pictures of linen dresses when you Google maxi dress. In reality 3 weeks later some awful plasticky shiny unwearable garment will arrive in the post.

Rosiepeta · 28/06/2026 10:20

Asos, 4th &reckless, murci, river island are all good

BlahBlahName · 28/06/2026 10:45

I got this recently and it's lovely on, the shape is very flattering on big boobs and belly. Very comfortable and floaty. Didn't crumple up immediately the way linen sometimes does https://www.fatface.com/ie/en/style/sv250249/v22508
