V confused.

Every time I see a nice Maxi dress it's always polyester- WHY ?

I prefer cool cotton or a mix with linen.

How can anyone wear polyester when it is so warm ?

Where can I got a cotton maxi that doesn't cost £££ ???

I am 5 foot 4 tall and newly sized 12

Can anyone guide me ???

I have been asking that question! Polyester + heat = ming!

I too seek a lovely cotton maxi. Jigsaw have a nice cotton one but it's too pricey!

i was thinking the same thing, need a cotton maxi for day time. Also i'm finding alot of the dresses tops i pick up have sequins on, no good for holding a baby. But maybe its just me being attracted to sparkly things.

linen?

Marks and Spencer have some cotton maxi dresses, think in the indigo collection.

As do ASOS if you type in "Cotton Maxi Dress" in the search bit here
