 I think all 3 dresses are very pretty. I like #3 the best, but I'm very busty on top so would have a very hard time wearing any of them.

Since I retired, I find I wear dresses a lot in the summer...they are often cooler than shorts/ capris for me.  The ones pictured are all so pretty...but I’m busty, and need dresses that cover my bra straps.  Just got the Renee dress that was a TSV....the blue tile print.  It’s very cute on, and I know I will get a lot of wear out of it.

All 3 dresses are pretty, but my lifestyle doesn't lend itself to dresses, I'm always outdoors mowing, weeding, taking care of the pool, etc.

They are pretty...but like @alicedee said I can't do dresses that don't cover the bra straps so a no go for me.  Gotta wear a bra and strapless bra's are a nightmare LOL!  Could I ask about the TSV from Renee...how is the fabric? some love it and some hate it.  I returned her other dresses TSV from months ago as that fabric was really heavy.

@tsavorite @The fabric is a very stretchy knit, but has a sort of “thick” feel, if that makes sense....not airy.  But not too warm...at least for me.  Enough substance so there’s no see-through.  I’m guessing it might be the same “heavy” fabric you described having before, so you might not like it.  

 

The cut is flattering....not just straight up & down, and being sleeveless and floaty around the legs, I think it will be fine for me in hot weather.  But I know people have very different likes and dislikes when it comes to the feel of fabrics.

@alicedeeThank you!  It looks and sounds so nice....I have had 2 of them on check hold since the TSV aired...I couldn't make up my mind what to do.  I think I will go ahead and get them both...hibiscus and chrysanthemum (pink one?)....just hope they fit!

I like them all!  I just went to Amazon to find the third dress but I don't see it in the sundress collection.  Could you tell me the brand?

 

And info on the second one, too, if you could.

 

Thanks!

@QueenDanceALot The Amazon dress is Angashion-Summer floral bohemian spaghetti strap midi dress. The one I posted is the yellow. The second one is Old Navy, I will look it up later..don't know if it's still available. I tried to post the pics directly from the ON site but they won't post here. So I used Google images.

Thanks!  I see that the Amazon dress comes in lots of color/pattern options and is very affordable.  I think I am going to order one and see how I like it.  Such a useful (and cute) dress for those hot summer days.
