Looking for: Fuss-free dresses

Sarah

My summer trip is just around the corner and I'm finalizing details (ie: what I'm going to wear!).
I have my excursions figured out, but I'm trying to find easy dresses to throw on with sandals and a denim jacket for dinners.
I'm looking for knit dresses that don't require a cami. I found this one http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=594872 in the coral color. Sadly, the blue and purple are not available in my size any longer.
I've been to my usual dress shops...has anyone seen anything similar anywhere?
Thanks!

How fun Sarah, when are you leaving?

I don't know if these are good quality, but they look so Summery and light;-)
(you can always cut out the shelf bra if you don't like that, I don't...)

Here are a couple from the Nordy's sale site that look comfy. I don't know if you like the style or fabric but thought I'd try to help a little.

Thank you thank you! I never look at VS or Boden. Some of the Nordstrom dresses would require a cami, I'm afraid. I'm a D and would probably show too much cleavage (it's a trip with my entire family, parents, siblings and brother in laws, cousins, uncle, grandparents, and I just don't want to feel awkward). Inge, the trip is in July!

I did well at Target this year for light casual dresses. The Converse line seemed to produce the most of them, but the quality can be hit or miss. I also found a couple of cute ones from Kohls, from the Daisy Fuentes line. But most of the Kohls dresses are jersey/polyester, not knit.

Wow, those Max Studio dresses are so fab ... I can see the second one layered with a moto jacket, stirrups and booties for fall ... oh boy, temptation!

Sarah, I'm SO glad you asked this question. I had been thinking the same thing to myself lately. I love having the ladies shop for me. Hee hee. That anthropologie dress is so great. The flounce could make layering a cardi a challenge, if you wanted to go that route.

Has anyone had real life experience with the VS dresses? I'm intrigued. I like the ease. They would be perfect for runs to the farmers market, etc.

This ON tank dress looks cute and breezy.

Sarah,
I have the dress from Boden that Inge linked to, and I love it. Definitely fuss-free. A little bit too much cleavage, but bear in mind that I have much larger chest than you do, so you will probably be fine. It feels like wearing your pajamas.
