Boden has a bunch of dresses with a puffy short sleeve. Ditto for Tukernuck.

Max Studio would be a less expensive option.

Google sundress with puff sleeve

That's lovely but feels more garden wedding than evening party, at least for me.

I mean, the op wore a similar dress in blue to the party last year, so I’m not sure why a blue floral wouldn’t work.
It’s a party at a beach house. Women will wear a sundress or white linen pants with a bright summery top. Have you ever been to a party at the beach before?

I’m not into florals and I’m more comfy in pants, so I would probably wear white linen palazzo pants with a bright short sleeve top. Nice sandals and jewelry.

This is perfect!

Because I don't want to....

Grateful if you could drop the link in again and highlight the URL button as I can't find it - thanks.

Like those suggestions, though I tend to steer away from silk as I am prone to sweat in warm weather.

Yes, am thinking something similar but covering the upper arm (that dress was perfect for it).

Love any co-ord set ideas!

We are hosting a large-ish party at our (nearby) beach house in a few weeks and would love suggestions on what to wear. In fact, I'd love a suggestion for hot weather and then one for more mild. A little more about me: I am in my early 60s, petite, a bit pearish. I tend to keep my biceps, or at least most of them, covered.

Last year I wore something similar to this: https://tinyurl.com/3rymjz53 - it was fairly warm and a great choice for the evening. This year I am just stumped. I'd like to have two ideas on hand as the forecast is for more mild weather.

Always get great suggestions here, so appreciate any ideas - TY.
