A big thank you, I will have another browse. Maybe I will be dressed for summer eventually!

I like Boden too and have recent brought a summer dress from Finery which is lovely. East has revived itself - some lovely dresses but pricy. If you are going mad you could try Cheffin.

My DD has bought a couple of very nice summer dresses from the Tu range at Sainsbury’s. She needed to update her wardrobe for work without spending a fortune.

Try John Lewis. I have bought a couple from there at a reasonable price.

Cotton Traders might be worth a look too. Also Joules.

Another vote for Boden, also The White Company, Hush and Mint Velvet have some beautiful dresses in at the moment.

Try Boden - their dresses come in many different cuts and are petite, regular & long.

Our small dress shop in town has a fabulous, plain shift dress in the window.
Have you tried smaller, independent shops? Sometimes they have a slightly different choices.

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?
