I’m similar size/shape. This one another influencer posted and I was so surprised at how flattering it was. I bought it in two colors.

I have this in a solid and a stripe. I'm also pear-shaped and it's super-flattering: https://www.quince.com/women/linen-dress?color=sky-blue-mariner-stripe&gender=women&tracker=collection_page__%2Fwomen%2Fdresses__All+Products__7

I live in Pact's gauze midi dresses all summer. I hate wearing shorts (very pale skin!) so they are perfect for staying cool.

I don’t know your budget OP, but I’ve gotten some nice pieces from Banjanan. The fabric is very comfortable and the dresses are not as shapeless as Karma East. I also like Canvas and Weaves.

I opened this thread hoping to find some cute summer dresses. Very disappointed to find a lot of sacks with loud prints.

I'm a huge fan of Pact.


NP, I bought a Pact one last summer based on DCUM recs and was unimpressed with the fabric (thin) and drape. And then DCUM criticized me and told me I shouldn't have had high expectations from Pact. So YMMV. But maybe I'll look again...


I don't think everything they have is of equal quality.

What about Lily if you avoid the louder day-drinking-at-the-country-club prints? A little over budget, but might work well:
