Help me find a simple summer dress please

[Needtosoundoffandbreathe]

I'm looking for help in finding a simple (proving to be anything but!) summer dress. This board is great for this kind of thing. Budget £50. Will stretch that for the perfect dress.

I'm a size 12-14, narrow shouldered, petite height 50 something year old woman with DD boobs. I'm looking for something more on the casual side, not flouncy, not random all over type patterns. Short length though not mini. I don't suit fussy or frilly or boho. Not long sleeved but sleeveless, capped sleeves, short sleeves etc all fine. Not halter neck or strapless. The kind of thing that can be dressed up if wanted. I hate skater style dresses and shifts can be tricky as I'm short-waisted and pear shaped. Petite fit often my best option. I suit jewel colours, black, white, and navy. This is the best I've found so far after scouring many websites: https://www.roman.co.uk/petite-cherry-tie-waist-dress-14759338?gadsource=1&gadcampaignid=17418966397&gbraid=0AAAAACsLkkKbBUj7YFZVsm9ALcCKBmDgT&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4JbTBhCoARIsALWUaBuduI2c3iPYbw6Inyw58qzZIqeXolInSXlLgBx5GIpyEs4uLSEbcaAkoGEALwwcB

Thank you in advance.

PS - nothing on the "Need a summer dress bored of wearing shorts thread" is my kind of thing

There’s some nice ones here under £50

The red Tu one is a cute without being overly girly-looking. I also liked this dark red linen one - but it's sold out in most sizes. Also, I'm not sure if these are too short for the OP, if she wants midi specifically!! But they do show off the legs ...

Ooh - thanks for all these new suggestions! I've been busy all afternoon. The print on the Roman dress I posted is little cherries. I had looked at French Connection earlier, so thank you for the reminder. Got to cook dinner and will have a browse later.

I like the red Tu dress, thank you. We're there 2 different Freeman's dresses? The links are to the same one.

Sorry, it was supposed to be
this

Maybe not your colour, but this is a nice summer dress in a chambray-type cotton/linen blend.

Fatface have last year's sleeveless linen button front dress in your size (this year's is out of budget, but might go on sale, black or cobalt blue).
Also a t-shirtish/shift dress with some ruching to give it a bit of a waist (I'm hopeless at descriptions).

Thank you - I like the teal colour. It's perhaps more beachy than I'm after, but a reminder to check out the catalogue companies.

I haven't looked recently, but I did have a really good look there last year and I was disappointed with the quality and appearance of the clothing when seen close up. 😕

I'm similar size to you and have a few of these in different colours.
