I can't find a floral/patterned maxi dress I like so what do you think of this alternative?

[tulpe]

Tis plain but think it would be nice to float around in on (hopefully) hot and sunny days.......or am I sartorially blind??

oh and to wear on these rather nice spring days with a cardi & light cotton scarf a la the photo

I don't really like it. It looks shapeless and is grey. It doesn't shout buy me!

i would want it to the floor with flats and i love they grey but not the dress.

What kind of colours do u like?

yeah, ikwym, Dexter.

I just have so much stuff that is quite dressy - majority of my summer wardrobe is made up of vintage style florals. I was looking for a dress I could just sling on. It kind of reminded me of All Saints style - which I also love.....but not the prices!

Cookielove - I usually wear lots of brights in the summer - magenta, bright greens, rich reds and purples and also stacks of navy.

oh and lots of bright royal blue too - which is very flattering to my skin tone.

how about this

or this

or this

or this

or this

I like the first one but I can't wear synthetic fabrics at the best of times.....let alone in the summer. But something like that in cotton would be lovely

or this

love this

love love this, but not the £

Thanks for all those suggestions, Cookielove. I am a picky so-and-so! Not liking any of them except the pattern of the first, I'm afraid.

Am off to bed now but will pop back tomorrow to see if there are any more ideas!

Any good?

Stripes? or Stripes?

here?

longer grey or black

Thanks Tethersend. I love the Rise dress. Am about to order!

Thank you

Yay!

100% linen

it will crease like buggery !

I like it, but I think more Spring than Summer tbh.

Could wear with purple/bright pink-but it´s linen, which I find not floaty & a bügger to iron tbh.

OP-the Rise dress is Viscose-don´t you find that hot in Summer?

Do none of the maxi dresses at fever work for you?

Diddl - yes, I realised as I was about to buy that the DP dress was viscose so I have rejected it. I think it is more spring than summer too but I am trying to be realistic about what this summer may bring in terms of weather

Was also thinking of wearing it with magenta, royal blue, bright purple and pastel pinks which would stop it looking quite so "meh".

Will check out those dresses at Fever after I've been food shopping

Thanks all
