haha arsenaldes! never thought we'd bump into each other on this thread!
Try Sainsbury's too - they have 25% off clothes til Monday too. I bought a maxi dress there on Sat AM as I had nothing summery/cool/comfortable to wear in the lovely weather. It's viscose elastane so won't hold creases - it will be a definite in the bag for our first camping trip (in our new BLUE Croyde, arsenaldes! )
Well purpleintent for 2012 Kampa blue is the new purple Nice bumping into you again have lots of fun in your Croyde

When it gets hot I substitute my beloved leggings for simple cotton skirts. I trawl charity shops for them. I roll them up to pack and at night just hang them from anything suitable. They are soooo cool in very hot weather teamed up with a long cotton shirt.
Did someone suggest IRONING while camping!? NOT for me that one!!!!!
Try Fatface, their clothes are designed with canvas bag holidays in mind. Just been in today and nice range. Not as cheap as some but I'm still wearing 4 year old clothes cos they don't date!
------------- Started with a motorbike and tent.......my gallery, my life.
I love the comfort and girliness of dresses in preference to most other clothes too, especially if we're going out and about whilst we're away and certainly when we eat out rather than sit about the campsite.
I iron them at home then put them onto hangers and into a dress bag which is last to go into the car as we pack it. Laid on top of the rest of the luggage then hung on a clothes rail in the tent as soon as possible after pitching the tent, I don't have much trouble with creases.
What I wouldn't give for enough room in the car to put a dress bag on top of the rest of the luggage!
Granted I wouldn't put a dress bag in that space but it would probably mean rooom for a couple of bottles of vino to come home with. Spare room would be bliss.

Remember a good wife always helps her husband with the dishes.
I have a jersey maxi dress from Firetrap, it wasn't cheap but packs great and is camo green and black, great for campsites.
Not wearing it this weekend as I would be perished and it would be wringing wet from the grass!! Currently wearing 2 fleeces and jeans and crocs!
------------- Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.
