I'm mid 40s, 5'7'', 135

I got this maxi last year in a navy polka dot print (I wear it with the straps): https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/dresses-and-jumpsuits/smocked-maxi-dress-in-cotton-voile/CI259?color_name=radiant-cobalt&N=SMALL&noPopUp=true&srsltid=AfmBOoq1eyhs5V9IUDjJYtpSMsgscS9uat7kTFvhesLqmfY6JREpBV9E04U#no_universal_links

Everyday throw on dress that can be dressed down with flip-flops for the farmers market or work with heels and a clutch for dinner (my coloring is better with brown than black so I'm aiming for more brown): https://charcoalclothing.com/collections/dresses-1/products/conway-mini-dress-chocolate

I also like this one for a light color which I don't gravitate towards because I do a lot of hands-on stuff and tend to stain things immediately: https://evereve.com/products/lillian-linen-shift-dress-banana

Considering this but haven't tried it on and don't want it to be shapeless: https://evereve.com/products/saba-dress-primaverastripe

Do you not find that the second and third are too short at your height? I’m 5’8” and would feel like my whole ass was hanging out.

You are unkind so stuff your dresses. There are lots of different people on here with different body types who can't wear what you post. Let them post other things without your snide remarks. Jerk.

+1

Unprompted snide remarks like this are so telling. And then people like this insist that other women avoid them out of envy when it's really just that most adult women don't want to hang around mean people.

I also have this . . . the ties give a slim shirtdress a little pizazz.

This one is on my "maybe" list. I know DCUM has an aversion to flowy dresses, but they work for me.

I like all of these. I think the collared dress would look bad on me (I'd look religious and uptight in it) but the other two are really cute.

The only one of these I like is the yellow linen shift dress but agree that I'd worry I'd stain it somehow.

Most of these would be okay (not great) for dinner or drinks out, but I wouldn't wear during the day for work/school drop off/appointments/errands. I love a midi dress that it's easy to wear a bra with, I can ride a commuter bike in, and that can be dressed up or down with shoes and accessories. So these dresses just aren't it for me. The first one is closest but I don't like that specific style of dress with the ruching in the bodice (just on me, it's fine for other people if that doesn't bother you, it never sits right on me and I find it uncomfortable).

I bought this at Mango recently. My body type is different than OP's, but it seems to fit her criteria.

Right? Plus they're all meh.

Try it! I think the photo is because of the model. I don’t have a very defined waist and the fabric is very stretchy. I look normal in it.

I like all of these but the I would look so hippie in the first dress, and I'm 5'7, 123. It just has an unfortunate cut.

I have a hard time with some dresses- I am 5'9, have boobs, long legs/short torso, no defined waist and a solid size 8
