Where do you shop for a good sundress?

I've learnt this week, this hot heatwave week, that I need a few more sundresses. Where do you shop to get yours? Do any come with pockets?

Seasalt, Phase Eight, Hobbs. If you have an outlet near you can get some good deals. I have cotton dresses with pockets from all of them.

I usually buy more "modest" styles to block out the sun; I'm very pale and burn easily. I'm also on the smaller end of plus size (22/24). I like dresses from: - Seasalt Cornwall - H&M (although I find their sizing isn't particularly generous in the bust, so you might need to size up by one) - Marks and Spencer - Yours (a lot of their stuff is just sized up Primark crap, but I've gotten some real gems as well) - Joe Browns (I size up by one for more room in the chest) - Even the supermarket clothes brands can be good. I've had the best luck with TU/Sainsbury's, but YMMV.

I've been shopping on Vinted recently and picked up a bunch of nice cotton and linen dresses for great prices, so pop your size(s) into Vinted and see what you find.

The major supermarkets have some nice woven/linen ones in this year - TU, George and Tesco.

I got one with pockets in Tesco this week! And it's cotton not some horrible poly blend.

Vinted. I look for anything cotten, under £10 and not see through

sometimes I really envy women. I want to wear a dress in this weather but my mates would never let me live it down (plus I don't have a nice figure to pull it off)

Tbh, as a guy that wears skirts/dresses, do it. There are ones that do fit your shoulders, even if a lot of they are annoying designed for people with a bust (which I don't have and I'm not wearing breast forms lol).

Given my height, I like long tall sally for decent quality dresses that don't break the bank. I usually opt for a flowy maxi dress with pockets Their current palm print one is great for this weather :)

Uniqlo!

Vinted. Brands I tend to go for include Sugarhill Brighton/Boden/Joules/Seasalt. Look for 100% cotton. I have also had quite a lot of luck with Tu dresses, just again by selecting cotton options. And all of these brands do dresses with pockets!
