I have set my heart on a summer dress, but oh lord, can I find anything that looks anything like. I am 5ft 6" tall with a long torso and everything I look at is short-waisted. I don't want a waist that sits somewhere under my boobs! I am a standard size 12. I have given up on JL, M & S, Next. Even browsing the more expensive websites brings up the same issue.

Anyone got any advice on where to look next?

Millie I really like my new Hush dress. Brighter colours and nicer than the picture suggests.

That's a lovely dress. I have a top in a similar material.

I always end up at M&S or Roman for summer dresses — both do nice linen ones. Quick tip, before I buy I always run through a UK voucher comparison site, you can usually find a working code (often 15-20% off) that stacks on the sale section. Saves a
fortune over the season.

I love Weird Fish, probably influenced by the fact that the marina shop opposite our house often sells them with a decent discount, I have 4 of their Tallahassee shift dresses in different prints and they’re ideal for this hot weather.

Oops, I didn’t notice the date on the OP, I just love talking about dresses 😁
