Next fans say 'slimming' dress is 'ideal for holidays' and won't crease in case
Next, which has 20 stores across Ireland, is leading the way with their stunning collection of summer dresses - and one particular piece is already flying off the shelves and earning 5 star reviews from fans.
Shoppers are loving Next's Cream and Green Palm Floral Kew Collection Linen Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress - a flattering summer staple priced at just €49.50.

Every holiday wardrobe needs that one go-to dress - effortlessly stylish, easy to wear, and perfect for both beachside cocktails and sunset dinners. This cream and green palm print mini dress from Next's Kew Collection ticks all those boxes.
Crafted from a breathable linen-blend, it keeps you cool on warm days without sacrificing style. The flattering scoop-back neckline, practical side pockets, and breezy split side hem make it as functional as it is chic. Inspired by the lush beauty of the Royal Botanical Gardens, the palm print adds a refined, nature-inspired touch. Completely machine washable, it's as low-maintenance as your holiday should be.
With a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on the Next Ireland website, the Cream and Green Palm Dress is quickly becoming a must-have for summer getaways - and for good reason. Customers are loving its comfort, fit, flattering design - and the fact that it won't crease in suitcases.
Many reviewers say it ticks all the boxes for holiday wear. One said: "Nice dress for holidays, good material and comfortable to wear." Another added: "Lovely dress ideal for my holiday, love the colours." A third shared: "This linen shift dress is going to be perfect to wear on my holidays with added bonus of having pockets."
The dress isn't just practical, it's also winning praise for how flattering and versatile it is, whether you're dressing it up or down. One person said: "The dress is comfortable and a nice style, perfect for summer. The colours ensure dress can be worn dressed up or as a casual day dress. Material quality is good." Another wrote: "Perfect fit, very slimming and comfortable. Size 16, good length not too short."
With a chic, nature-inspired print and elegant cut, it's no surprise that this dress is a conversation starter. One happy customer shared: "Love it, got lots of compliments."
Despite its linen blend, shoppers are pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to wear and maintain, saying that it "doesn't crease" in the suitcase. Another review said: "Perfect fit. Lovely fabric, although has linen mix it doesn't crease too much and if it does they fall out pretty quickly. I love the designs and bought three of the different colours and patterns."
Despite a majority of positive reviews, one person said: "This garment fitted ok but the arm holes were huge. I wear a size 18 to fit my chest but my arms are normal size. It just looked awful about an inch or more each side would have to be altered for a better fit."
Another recommended sizing down, writing: "Love this dress, so comfortable, easy to wear and hopefully it will keep me cool on my holidays. Sizing is on the big side, so did need to return for a size 6, which is perfect."

Can you tell our age and how many kids we've had just by our cleavage? The free tricks we use to keep perky…
No one would guess Liz Hurley's mother was 85 as she posed in a revealing leopard-print swimsuit with her model daughter AGELESS CURVES Can you tell our age and how many kids we've had just by our cleavage? The free tricks we use to keep perky… IT'S hard to believe Liz Hurley's mother is 85 as she poses in this revealing leopard-print swimsuit with her daughter. Angela Hurley flaunted ageless curves in the £145 Savannah one-piece from Liz's own range. Advertisement 7 Elizabeth Hurley and mum Angela showcased their ageless figures in leopard print But what stood out most was her cleavage, which is incredibly full and perky for her age, with no evidence of sagging. Consultant dermatologist Dr Thuva Amuthan says it's often one of the first areas to show signs of ageing as the skin is 'thinner and often neglected'. Here, three women pose in costumes from Next. But does their cleavage give away their age? They also discuss their busts with Lynsey Hope. Advertisement Kiin Buono 7 Can you guess the age of Kiin from her cleavage? Credit: Lorna Roach 7 Kiin is 53-years-old and from Fulham, West London Credit: Lorna Roach KIIN BUONO, from Fulham, West London, is a 53-year-old single mum who had her kids when she was 22 and 27. She says: 'My boobs have definitely become fuller as I have got older and it does make me feel more feminine to have a cleavage. I notice people glancing at them sometimes. 'I'm originally from Somaliland and I use an old home remedy called Qasil, a green powder. You mix it with water and let it sit on your skin for about half an hour. Other than that, I don't do much in terms of skincare. I try to eat healthily, I drink lots of water and I have a dog I walk twice a day. Advertisement 'People often compliment my boobs and say I have a lovely shape. "Perhaps it's genetics. A lot of women my age from Somalia have great skin and look younger than they are. They don't wear make-up and only use natural products. It definitely does the trick!' Carolyn Matthews 7 Does Carolyn's cleavage give away her age?

She says: Advertisement 'Growing up, my boobs were tiny. I wore a B cup, but in reality I was only an A. I was just too embarrassed to buy that size. I used to get called 'little t*ts'. It wasn't meant in a nasty way, but it did get to me. 'I had my children when I was 23 and 30 and, when I was pregnant, I had lovely big boobs and a lovely cleavage. I breastfed, but when I stopped they shrunk again and were even smaller than before. 'Then, in my early 40s, I started going through menopause. My periods stopped when I was 50 and my boobs suddenly got bigger. By the time I turned 52, I had gone up to a 34D. I was so happy I almost cried and I bought lots of lovely new lingerie. 'I call them 'my girls' and love wearing a bikini. I show them off loud and proud.' Cim Ashton 7 Can you tell what Cim's age is from her cleavage? Credit: Lorna Roach Advertisement 7 Cim Ashton, who lives near Cardiff, is a 65-year-old maternity nurse Credit: Lorna Roach 65-year old maternity nurse Cim Ashton is single and lives near Cardiff. She says: 'I was the skinniest girl at school and flat-chested. Everyone used to call me twiggy or stick and I hated it. 'I put on weight and my boobs got bigger when I had children aged 30. I'd buy snacks for the children and end up eating them myself, like many mums do. I looked better with curves and felt more womanly. 'I'm still only a size 12 and my boobs are now a massive 34FF. They have sagged a bit as I got older, but they haven't hit my waistline yet. Advertisement 'People will often say I look young for my age and I try to stay fit, which also helps with my mental health. 'I give everything a go. Swimming, in particular, helps keep my body toned, and if you hold your stomach in and stand up straight, your boobs instantly look better.'

Next's lightweight raincoat is perfect for 'warmer days and light showers'
The unpredictable Irish summertime, often a mix of sunshine and showers, can make choosing what to wear a challenge. This week alone has seen cold, wet and windy mornings give way to sunny afternoons. One solution is to opt for a waterproof coat. These lightweight jackets prevent overheating and can be easily folded up and stowed in a bag due to their thin material. Next's latest Resistant Lightweight Jacket is garnering positive reviews from shoppers for these very reasons. Customers have commended the jacket's lightweight material for its practicality. Priced at €79.50, the crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket comes in either black or sage colours. One buyer described it as a 'lovely lightweight coat for warmer days and light showers' in the comments section. The lightweight jacket can also be packed away easily (Image: Next) The quarter-length jacket also features a hood, reports the Mirror. Additional details include a central zip, poppers, and pockets on both sides. The model wearing the black version pairs it with jeans, a leopard-print top, and boots, while the model in the sage colour teams it with blue leggings and a cream top. The black coat is available in sizes 6-24, and the sage one comes in sizes 6-22. For those seeking a raincoat made from a slightly heavier material, New Look offers a Water Resistant Drawstring Anorak for £39.99 (€46). Available in two neutral shades, mink and dark brown, this coat makes an ideal choice for the transition from summer to autumn. Turning back to Next's Resistant Lightweight Jacket, one customer expressed their satisfaction: "Really pleased with my long jacket. Bought it to take on holiday as it is so light to wear or to carry." The crinkle-material Resistant Lightweight Jacket is priced at €79.50 and available in black or sage hues However, they did note a minor issue: "My only criticism is that the sleeves could be tighter at the wrists." Another purchaser remarked: "This a lightweight shower coat in a very nice shade of green. It has some interesting features, and is exactly what I was looking for. It is generous fit, allowing for thicker layers if needed." One customer was not impressed by the material, stating: "Looked scruffy. Ok for walking dog. Sent it back as wanted a smarter coat." Another Next customer reviewed: "Lightweight, comfortable perfect for not overheating in summer. Fit is loose and oversized. Practical but stylish."
