lovely flowery dress

I've seen a few people wearing really light, loose cotton dresses with a large bright (maybe floral)print. Maybe with a denim jacket and flat strappy sandals.

I'd really like something similar for my holiday in late summer, but by the time I get around to buying anything it will all be coats I've looked in all of the places that I can think of.

Anyone seen anything similar in a shorter length? All the prints I have seen are small florals and I'm tall 5'9 and bigger 14-16 so small prints are not good on me/

Thanks!!

Not sure what your budget is, so these may be a bit cheap and cheerful, but Peacocks have some lovely flowery sun dresses in at the minute. I'm 5'5" and the one I tried on (was a mixture of turquoise, white and I think, pink) came to my knees.

Can't remember the price, but £14 springs to mind.

this was the one I tried on, it's actually nicer and brighter IRL than in the pic.

The only reason I didn't buy it is because I'm too chicken to show my legs off!

was going to say the peacocks one too, they also have it in pink, and has glittery bits. thought it was really sweet

ooh peacocks one is nice. Dont know if we have a branch nearby tho. I saw a similar one in matalan today "-this www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion-to-buy-online/Dresses/strappy-printed-sun-dress/13923&resultsP erPage=100&attrList=Dept,brand"but wasnt brave enough to get.

i am a bit top heavy an worried about spilling out of the top, so looking for more of a tunic sort of thing with more coverage at the top. but could do with a cardi - they are really good value.
