The best summer dresses for all ages – in pictures

A summer dress isn’t about trends; it’s all about personality. Just look at the options on show here. There’s bodycon (Pam’s fishtail number), lots of print (Hayley) and florals (Lou). Crisp cotton works well, too (Brenda), and there’s even a sporty number (Vanessa). Whatever style appeals, go for it: the summer dress is all about you. Melanie Wilkinson
