Basic smart/casual dresses for work

6 replies

BraBafflement · 10/07/2026 10:05

I live in a part of the UK that doesn't usually get this sustained hot weather. As I result, I only have strappy, floaty beach dresses and quite heavy work clothes. I desperately need some cooler, smart/casual dresses for work.

Im quite short, so I can't pull off loads of fabric and it does need to have some structure or shape to it, and petite sizes suit best.

Budget isn't huge because I ideally need a few dresses.

Have you looked at Cotton traders dresses? They would be ideal.
