Your favourite summer dress...

[Beetroot]

what is it?

Gap, cottton, purple mottly type print, halter neck, just above knee - makes my waist look mini but I wear it over a T shirt for modesty's sake.

Also 4 years old.

"My favourite dress" (great song by The Wedding Present) non-Summer is a black 1950s style, scoop necked, full skirted one - also Gap.

all knee length. i luuurve frocks

That 1st one sounds nice.

I saw someone in a lovely dress today: see if anyone recognises it? (Was too shy to ask her.)

• blue-on-pale-blue cotton print, the sort of Indiany block print East do, but an elegant one

• knee length, can't remember about sleeves - might have been cap or elbow length

• flattering-for-small-bust wrap bodice, with a ribbon underneath as high waistline

• crucial thing: the ribbon waist wasn't horizontal - it was highest in the middle & curved down to sides (& presumably round to tie at back): so it didn't define waist & would be nice even if you don't have a weeny waist (or one at all).

Green spotty knot-front dress from Boden - v flattering and lovely.

Or one I got in Wallis sale - it's a sleeveless black linen shirt dress, the skirt is a-line with a hint of swishiness and the big belt on it makes my waist look teeny. But my norks are too big for it so I wear it unbuttoned to the waist with a cami underneath.

I got one from Monsoon recently, teal colour, fake wrap top bit then fitted and slightly a line. I think anyway, it's still in my wardrobe haven't worn it yet despite lovely weather, it feels too smart for running around after dd somehow even though it isn't a smart dress particularly. Used to jeans I think. It is lovely though. And the best bit is that I got a size ten even though I am usually a 12-14. Monsoon are very good for pear shapes imo.

Love dresses, but my absolute favourite at the moment is a cotton wrap dress from Boden, sooo flattering, I bought a second one, might even buy a third as it's in the sale www.boden.co.uk/col.asp?segname=%57%6F%6D%65%6E&styid=WH094&segid=6&gpname=%44%72%65%73%73%65%73&des name=%52%75%66%66%6C%65%20%43%6F%74%74%6F%6E%20%44%72%65%73%73&gpid=6&gen=

any more?

Full Circle - Sleeveless - V at front and back - nipped in little waist. Flares out slightly. White background with Brown/pale green and a little dark pink detail. Label still on it. I'm saving it. (for what I don't know)

I have got some lovely dresses - my fave is the green one from Boden last year that is similar to this year's knot front.
But when can I wear them, when?
It is freezing here today in the sunny south-west and the temp is dropping like a stone - forecast to be 15 degrees on Sunday

i don't have one
