2nd G&T now, so cheers again - just as well the dinner won’t need too much effort - spag Bol sauce out of the freezer - God bless batch cooking - and I even made garlic bread earlier, so only a salad to make.

I think the fancy name is Lagen look oversized dress [smile{. I have one I bought in a market in France a few years ago, when the temps soared. My OH hates if!

Your dress sounds a perfect kind of summer dress Witend. There are a lot of wider, some tiered, long dresses around this year. You are “on trend” as the saying goes.
I’m sure it looks effortless and elegant.
I love seersucker and can remember having seersucker blouses in my teens. ?

May you have occasion to wear them both regularly?.

Bought the first a few weeks ago, wearing it for the 1st time today. It’s not far off ankle length, sleeves just past elbow length, not the most flattering ever but so cool and comfortable! (Very warm here today.) It’s cotton and linen seersucker but doesn’t crease! So I thought sod it and although it was on the pricey side I’ve ordered another in a different colour.
So if the rest of the summer turns out to be rubbish, you can all blame me. ?
I’m now sitting in the garden with the first G&T of the year, so cheers all! ?
