Help
I am trying to find summer dresses that are shorts but look like a dress if you know what I mean.
I have tried googling dress shorts but that just brings up dressy shorts. Does anyone know if there is a name for this style of dress and where sells them? Hopefully you can understand what I'm talking about as it is hard to describe in words what I mean. Thanks in advance |

I know what you're talking about. I'm sure they were about in the 80s. Fitted top half, nipped in at the waist and flared bottom half, concealing the fact that the bottom half is actually shorts. I've no idea what they could be called though.

They look nothing like a dress or skirt hiding shorts. They are exactly what they say they are, dungarees.

I think playsuit is right but maybe this is a better example of what is being described by the OP, it looks like a dress but it isn't. There are differents types of playsuits though, some look like jumpsuits, others look like dungarees, some look like dresses. I bought one from Primark because I thought it was a dress, luckily I managed to make it into one.

Thats pretty. Exactly how I remember a similar 80s version, although covered at back and a little longer.
