Summer lunch party

Hi, I’m looking for a little inspiration for a dress to wear to a big family lunch party in July.
The dress code is smart casual, I’d like something mid length and with the top of my arms covered.
All the dresses I love are over £200, which is my limit.
Many thanks x

Would you consider renting? This could be a good way to wear one of the dresses you love but are over your budget to buy at retail price. I really love AJE x

love this sort of thing for a garden party Pastel Floral Nova Smock Midi Dress

or this!

nobodys child has lots of affordable options for this kind of thing x

I love this - dramatic colourway and I love the v neck line for adding some layered jewellery - plus with elasticated cuffs you can push the sleeves up or keep them just above your wrist if it’s cooler on the day.
