Sleeveless ( no gaping armholes pl)
Cotton or cotton blend. No polyester.
Solids or stripes only. No prints please.
Not black! Blue, green, rust all ok.
Under £60 as I need to buy a few.
Size 12-14.

It's like the holy grail!

I did find one on ElevenLoves. Are they any good?

Length? Style? Assuming its for workwear?

LobeliaBaggins · 06/08/2026 11:21

I am a big Uniqlo fan but didn't find anything that fit this bill that I liked.
Those Airism dresses are cut well but I find them harsh on the skin and itchy.

Edited

Have you found natural fibers on Uniqlo? I used to like Uniqlo but everything is synthetic - summer heat has reminded me that I don't like wearing synthetic fabrics in hot weather!

I have dresses that meet this description from Etsy (linen sea and dress me linen) but they're over budget (and I know not everyone wants to buy from Etsy) and from Studio Untold (muslin- they were cheap too, I have two), which is a very mainstream high street plus size brand - but in Germany...

They exist, but the cotton/ natural fibre and block colour and price combination is hard to get. There are more options at slightly higher price points (£90+).

No, for casual wear
Midi preferably.
And if possible no spagetti straps ( yes I know too picky).

Ok, I just found this which I like. Not looked at Hush for a while.
Dull red is my colour.
Some of those Ro and Zo dresses look good too.
Uniqlo size 12 appears to be all sold out.

I’ve had quite a lot of linen from them this year

If you were looking at the Izzy dress on Eleven Loves then I can recommend them. I have a navy and an olive one and they are nice quality, flattering and very easy to wear. I have the long sleeved version for autumn/winter as well.

Although fitted, they don't cling and are true to size. I'm an 8/10 and buy a Small as I don't want it too clingy.

SoScarletItWas · 06/08/2026 12:29

Pink or blue

This! I have one and have worn it non-stop. Washes well, can wear with a belt to smarten up, HAS POCKETS!!! Not as shapeless as it looks, honest!! I was very dubious about it but it looks fab on.

That's gorgeous, but completely sold out!
