Ramies, a small family business based in Shanghai, make these lovely linen dresses to order - you send them your measurements, and what colour you'd like, and they are made for you, bespoke. The top dress can be worn with the buttons at the front or the back (I've ordered it in heather grey), and is just £44. The romantic dropped-waist dress is £51. Pictures: Ramies.
Two denim smock dresses I have my eye on - both have the strong selling point that they would comfortably make way for lunch. The top dress is £129, by Ganni at Plumo; the second is £155, by APC Madras at Urban Outfitters.
The prints at Australian label EP by Easton Pearson are amazing. I love that top in the middle. See the whole collection here. Pictures: Bahamonde Weather Girl.

Up The Wooden Hills is a little label from Gothenburg that - like most things from Sweden - I am a little bit in love with. This summer, they've just made one dress - knee-length, with deep pockets and nice sleeves you can roll up, in a few different Liberty prints - designed, they say, for riding "trains and swings"... and "suitable for jumping in and out of buses and as well as lying flat on the back in the grass". I love Sweden. Pictures: Up The Wooden Hills. Found via Wildflowers Pretty and, originally, Liebmarlene. 
Australian designer Pamela Tang's simple, handmade linen dresses and smocks are just the ticket for summer. See more of her things on her blog and in her Etsy shop.
