The summer dress has been racking up five star reviews with customers saying it's a 'simple but stylish'
Next shoppers have been picking up a versatile summer dress that they love for being 'perfect' for both casual outings and more formal evening events. The dress also got high praise for practicality, being made from a cooling fabric and featuring useful pockets.
The Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen from Next is crafted from a 'lightweight' linen blend that the retailer suggests is ideal for the summer months. The 'breathable' and 'soft' fabric provides a means to stay both 'stylish' and 'cool' during hot weather.
In addition to Next, there's a wealth of linen dresses available online if you're looking to expand your summer wardrobe. For instance, Roman is offering a £40 Linen Mix Shift Dress and Debenhams has this Linen Print Dress with Pockets by SOLO on sale for £29.99, down from £60.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, H&M has reduced the price of its Linen-blend halterneck dress in a 'fun' print from £27.99 to £23.80. Alternatively, New Look is selling an Apricot Pink Pleated Linen-Look Knee Length Dress at a significant discount, marked down from £34 to £10.
Retailing at £34, the Cream Mono Placement Floral style has emerged as the favourite choice among shoppers. Customers have shared their views on the 'classy' dress in the review section, reports the Mirror.
Next fans who have ordered their own Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress with Linen are singing its praises for the versatility it offers – perfect for glamming up with heels or keeping it casual with trainers or sandals. The dress is being praised for its large side pockets and a 'relaxed, 'comfortable' fit.
In a glowing five-star review, a buyer said: "I bought it as a simple day dress for holidays, only now having been able to try it on. It can be easily dressed up for an evening venue too." Another added: "Loved the fabric. Loved the easy-to-wear style and the fit was just right." A third shopper wrote: "Love it. Classy but casual at the same time. Easy to dress up or down."
But, not all feedback was positive, with a few purchasers noting that the fabric feels "very thin and cheap". Another unhappy reviewer pointed out: "As this item is not lined, it's completely see-through when worn, even with flesh-coloured underwear."
But, there were plenty more positives shared, as another added: "Material is soft and comfy to wear on holiday, perfect fit. I bought all designs in the same dress. Good value for money as they look more expensive!"
Someone else posted: "A simple but stylish dress that I'm looking forward to wearing." And rounding off the comments, there was another who said: "It's a really striking and attractive design. It looks so nice on and makes such a change from small flowery prints."
The dress is on offer in sizes 6 to 26 for regular fits, 4 to 20 for petite, and 10 to 20 for tall. However, at the time of penning this, certain sizes and patterns are either sold out or running low - so customers should act swiftly to secure their orders.
