Summer dress - help!

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

Tilly
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.

As are the Summer dresses

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 😁

I know exactly what you mean! I'm a similar height, and finding dresses with the right waist placement can be surprisingly difficult. So many seem to be designed with a much shorter torso in mind.

If you're open to looking beyond dresses, I've had good luck with viscose wide leg trousers paired with a lightweight blouse or tucked-in top. They can be really flattering on a longer torso and are super comfortable in warm weather.

You could also take a look at Nomads Clothing. I've noticed they tend to have relaxed, easy-to-wear styles made from natural fabrics, and some of their dresses and separates have a less restrictive fit that might work better for your proportions. It might be worth a browse if you haven't already.

Hope you find something that fits the way you want—it's amazing how much difference the right proportions make!

I know this is an old thread but I have just become aware of an eco friendly clothing company. It's called Unfolded. The dresses are very reasonably priced and made to order so that there is no waste.
No waste meaning..... they don't over produce clothes which are then not required.
