Next shoppers are loving the "gorgeous" dress they're keen to take on their summer holidays
Next customers are showering compliments on a "gorgeous" dress that's proving popular online. The retailer is well known for its on-trend fashion and accessories - and there's a new dress drawing attention.
The £25 Khaki Green/White Button Down 100% Cotton Cami Summer Dress, available in a regular and petite fit, in sizes six to 26. It also comes in red or black.
The dress features a midi length, with a button-down front, cami straps and is made with 100% cotton. It is also machine washable.
For those still searching for the perfect summer dress, PrettyLittleThing has the White Crinkle Cup Detail Tiered Skirt Skater Dress at £38. ASOS offers the ruched square neck tiered mini dress, also priced at £38, and New Look presents the White Floral Print Mini Dress for just £31.99.
The full product description reads: "Add this summer staple to your suitcase, our button down midi dress is lightweight, comfortable and stylish. Designed in a midi length with button detail to the front and adjustable cami straps. Hello warm weather," reports the Mirror.
Earning a range of glowing reviews, the dress is a hit among buyers. One enthused shopper commented: "Great dress for my holiday, love the style and colour."
Another happy customer remarked: "Lovely dress and fit- perfect for sunny days! Great material and length. Colour exactly as seen on website." Yet another chimed in: "Lovely summer dress that fits perfectly."
One delighted customer said: "This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Love the colour and the style and it fit true to size. I would totally recommend."
However, a few shoppers were dissatisfied with the sizing and the fit of the dress. One customer said: "Too big and an unflattering cut. Returned." Another wrote: "Completely shapeless, terrible. Nice fabric though."
A third shopper added: "I'm a size 16 and this dress just didn't sit right on my curves. It wasn't wide enough for my shoulders either. It was a dress made for someone much smaller, just enlarged in size, but the proportions didn't work. Really disappointed as it is beautiful to look at, but the fit isn't great if you're plus sized."
Despite this, many other shoppers were left impressed with the dress. A different customer said: "I bought this dress for a winter sun holiday. The fit is very good (size 12). I love the colours, style and pockets. It is cool and comfortable to wear."
Another content buyer wrote: "Lovely fitted dress and compliments slight figure. Perfect for summer! Love the colour too and that it's true to size as seen on website."
A separate review said: "Absolutely lovely summer dress - I love everything about it. Sizing is true and is very flattering."
And yet another shopper added: "Excellent design great material, never needs ironing, great value for money. I have several of these in different colours."

Next shoppers 'wish they did more colours' of £38 summer dress

The dress has already sold out in a couple of sizes after shoppers shared their love for it online. Next shoppers have found a summer dress they're eager to add to their wardrobe in multiple colours. The high street store has claimed this versatile piece as perfect for both glam evenings out, like sipping cocktails by the sea on holiday, or casual daytime outings such as park picnics. Available online for £38, the Jersey Waisted Summer Dress is available in a variety of colours including cream, navy, chocolate brown and olive green. It caters to a wide range of sizes from 6 to 22, with petite fitting also an option. Next bosses describe this lightweight dress as "ideal for summer", claiming it could be styled for "beachside cocktails or picnics in the park". It was further highlightes by the chain as having a "versatile and timeless" design, featuring a "flattering" neckline, waist detailing and handy side pockets. For those looking to expand their summer wardrobe, there are plenty of similar dresses on the market, such as Uniqlo's Crepe Jersey Bra Camisole Dress, made from a similar stretchy fabric and priced at £34.90. New Look also offers its Jersey Tiered Skirt Midi Smock Dress for a bargain £19.99. However, it seems many fans have been won over by the Next dress. The brand suggests it can be easily "dressed up with sandals and heels or down with your favourite trainers" depending on the occasion, reports Belfast Live. Shoppers certainly seemed to agree, judging by the glowing reviews. One customer said: "Gorgeous fit and style with quality fabric and a silky, cotton texture. It's not see-through and has pockets. I love this dress so much, I've bought it in the two other colours too." Another added: "Lovely dress and so comfortable to wear." A third wrote: "Looks so simple but looks and fits amazingly." Someone else shared: "Excellent product, fits well. The material is soft and washes and irons easily. I have bought both navy and cream. I wish they did more colours." The retailer was upfront with a disclaimer on their site letting shoppers know that "this product has a smaller fit than usual". This could account for some feedback which reported a need to size up for extra comfort. There was a bit of extra criticism from one reviewer who claimed: "The material was completely see-through and the top was very tight. Item was returned." However, the positive feedback was overwhelming. A fifth buyer who rated the item as five stars said: "A flattering fit, high waistline, smooth fabric feel, and so easy to wear in warmer nights yet also cooler evenings due to the length. Perfect paired with flats or a wedge."

Boden cuts £61 off 'simply stunning' summer midi dress ahead of UK heatwave

Get ready for warm summer weather with the massive Boden sale. Parts of the UK are set to be hit by another mini heatwave next week. With temperatures reportedly soaring to 27C, many of us will be planning days outside. That possibly means updating the wardrobe for summer. Fortunately, fashion retailer Boden is running a massive sale across new season must-haves in time for sunny weather and balmy weekends. One item that has caught our eye is the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress that has been dropped from £136 to £74.80, saving shoppers over £61 off the RRP. Hailed as "simply stunning", we think it's perfect for summer weddings, BBQ's and picnics in the park. Crafted from a flowy, breathable material, this midi dress features a fit-and-flare design and a tie-belt at the waist that offers a "flattering" effect on the body. Meanwhile, its "super-swishable skirt" adds a touch movement and drama to the overall look. The all-over multi-coloured means it is a statement wardrobe item, while a few other sought-after features include handy side pockets, alongside full lining to ensure it doesn't look too sheer or see-through. Boden's Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress £136 £74.80 Boden Buy here Product Description Designed in petite and regular lengthways, the Bria Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 20, although Boden has advised it is "one to watch", meaning it's pretty popular with shoppers. Prefer longer sleeves? Then we have spotted this equally vibrant Wh ite Tropical Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress over at New Look for a touch cheaper at £36.99. For something a touch more muted, yet no less stylish, there is this Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Summer Dress for £49 from Next that is available in three other colours. For the fashion fans keen to take advantage of Boden's discount on the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, it's worth knowing that shoppers have been hailing it in reviews as "simply stunning" and "extremely comfortable." One five-star review read: "This dress is simply stunning. I am five foot 2 and the regular length falls just right for me. It's extremely comfortable, the print is bright and it fits perfectly. This may be the best dress I have ever had. Fashion deal of the week In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices. Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon. With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis. The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet. Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air". Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway. With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable". One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." Purchase the STQ Women's Slip On Trainers from £30.99 on Amazon here. Thank you Boden for not making it too low cut and for proper sleeves! I can't fault it- the fabric is gorgeous and I am going to wear it for my graduation at UCL in May." A second eager fan wrote: "This dress is beautiful! It's well made and super colorful.

While someone else added: "I can't tell you just how beautiful this dress actually is the fabric is lovely soft cotton and the cut is superb. When it arrived and I tried it on it felt so lovely to wear and so flattering and it has pockets. Can't wait to wear this on my next cruise." Not everyone found the dress suited their style, as one shopper said: "The colours and print on this dress are very vibrant and beautiful, the quality feels good, and it could be worn with accessories in a wide range of colours. "However, although the dress fitted me, it did not suit me at all, but made my hips look big, and gave me a very 'matronly' look, which was not good. Sadly, I have returned the dress." Although, another shopper said in return: "Classy! Love the fit and the fabric! True to size." here.

Pour Moi also steps up with a collection filled with dresses and tops ideal for the warmer months.

This flattering maxi dress from Boden is perfect for holidays (Image: Instagram @emilyatack ) The Boden maxi dress has not only won Emily's approval but also garnered rave reviews from numerous customers, who have praised its perfect fit, practical pockets, and overall quality. One pleased customer shared: "I'm 5'5" and a size 14 and I bought the 14R. "I absolutely love this dress, the print is joyous and the style is very flattering." A shopper expressed her delight with the dress, stating: "Unlike some Boden dresses it's not too low at the front and joy of joys the arm hole is not too big and gives decent coverage for those of us with bits we'd like to disguise. "The regular length is just above my ankles. Would love this in a leopard print!". Another admirer added: "Love this dress! I'm 5'3" and bought 14 petite: it's a perfect fit.

"Bought for the South of France and can't wait to wear it! Do not hesitate in purchasing this dress. Highly recommend!" However, one customer had a slight issue, noting: "This is a really pretty, simple dress. It fit true to size. I'm 5'6", 130lbs. I liked the length and the material. "The waist is a bit high, but I find that with most Boden dresses". For those who admire Emily's fashion sense, we've also tracked down her favourite handbag. The exact model is the Deliberate Woven Shoulder Bag in Chocolate, retailing at £129.
