One of my favorite summer dresses was a maxi linen shift (I think is what you'd call it) by Two Star Dog. I got it in a thrift store in Sedona for $14 (they are VERY expensive but whoever priced it had no idea). I wore it out last summer after about 5 years. The color was perfect for me too. I loved it so much I'd buy another for full price.
We have a warm climate around here and always look for natural fabrics. Cotton, linen, silk, etc., are much more comfortable than anything synthetic. Also loose clothing is a lot cooler than tight clothing. If you're out in the sun, lighter colors are cooler than darker ones.
I live in Texas and rely on sundresses just about every day. My go-to's are LL Bean, Loft, Talbot's, and Lands End. They have wonderful wash-and-go styles and Lands End in particular has great fit and flare styles.
Some of my "go to" summer dresses have worn out and I'm in AZ (we've already seen 116 degrees ) so I need to have some comfy, easy care, cool clothing to throw on.
Any ideas? I tend to be curvy but have gotten a little larger around the middle since menopause and am a 14 or L/XL now
I like clear spring-like colors and want something flattering (prefer lowish v neck, or cross over at bust as I have a short neck). I don't mind spending a bit for a good quality dress.
Any ideas?
P.S. I wear a lot of Chalet crinkle cotton pants and tops/tunics but their dresses aren't right for me somehow.
Torrid casual clothes are very young, but Many of their dresses are timeless. They also have many with a wrap bustline.
There's also Coldwater Creek Plus Size Dresses for Women | Coldwater Creek I have bought from them in the past, but they have few completely natural fiber clothes. They have nice dresses for "fancy" and for the office.
