Should I give up looking for a white summer dress for my upcoming beach holiday? They all look like nighties,

or wedding dresses, are too long. And I think that a shirt dress might be too formal.

I also want cotton or linen. And not fussy or masses of material. Something simple.

Budget up to £75 probably. I’m 5 foot 4 and am size 14 on top and size 10 on the bottom.

I have white flowy cotton skirts so maybe should go for a fitted top?

Some options on Next.
There are some white jumpsuits around.

I have just returned from holiday and wore this: https://www.next.co.uk/style/SU347843/E21163

It was really easy to wear, required zero ironing and didn't feel 'wedding-y'. Also easy to style up or down with trainers/ sandals/ accessories etc
