Next's 'lovely' Midi Dress hailed as 'perfect for summer' by delighted shoppers
With a price tag ranging from €74 to €79.50, the dress is available in three shades: white floral, yellow, and teal. Crafted from a breezy cotton-viscose mix with a billowing maxi skirt, it promises to keep wearers cool with flair.
The shirred dress cinches at the waist for a flattering silhouette, while the puff sleeves give it a voluminous touch that can be glammed up or toned down.
For those looking for a similar vibe from other high street shops, New Look's latest hit is the Brown Checked Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Dress, retailing at £35.99 (€41.60) and boasting comparable puff sleeve and shirred bodice features.

Meanwhile, M&S has introduced the Pure Cotton Square Neck Midaxi Dress for €75, a black number perfect for transitioning into autumn with any jacket or coat.
Back to Next, where the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is being praised as "very flattering" and "super comfortable" ideal for summer getaways and more.
The retailer suggests styling it with sandals and a raffia bag for a "dreamy" ensemble perfect for basking in holiday sunshine, reports Chronicle Live.
One delighted shopper gushed about the dress: "Lovely dress, stylish and perfect for summer days and evenings out. I was so pleased with this purchase I have bought every colour available and I have even bought two for next year I love them so much. Would definitely recommend."
Echoing the sentiment, another reviewer chimed in: "Have worn my dress twice so far and have had nothing but praise from people who comment that it's absolutely beautiful and I have to agree. It's also very cool and comfortable to wear so definitely recommend it." The dress also comes in 'beautiful' bright yellow or teal for an eye-catching look (Image: Next)
A third happy customer, who chose the teal version, shared: "Beautiful dress that I've worn on many different occasions now. Was unsure at first of the neckline and sleeves, but bought a bra with no straps and it made all the difference. Love the colour!".
Yet another satisfied buyer, who opted for the yellow version of the stylish dress, enthused: "Beautiful colour, the quality is excellent and the material just flows, the fit is comfortable. You can dress it up or relax in it. Very versatile. I would recommend this dress."
Despite the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress scoring an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from purchasers, not all feedback was glowing. A disgruntled customer remarked: "Quality was not great for the price and the sleeves were ill-fitting and loose."
A handful of other shoppers expressed their desire for additional sizing choices, with one reviewer sharing: "Beautiful dress and looks like lovely on, my only criticism would be it is too long and would have been good to offer it in a petite size as not everyone is over 5ft 6ins."

Next remains a favourite destination for fashion enthusiasts at present. The retailer has captured attention once more with a particular dress that's causing quite a stir. With summer still blazing and temperatures soaring, many of us are seeking stylish options for beer garden outings or garden barbecue hosting. One chic piece perfect for the ongoing heatwave is the high street favourite's Navy Kew Gardens Puff Sleeve Off Shoulder Midi Dress, which reviewers are praising as "so stylish" for various occasions. Priced at €59.50, this charming piece has been designed using airy, featherweight material that's perfect for the current sweltering summer conditions we've been enduring lately. The midi-length garment's dreamy aesthetic is enhanced by a fashionable all-over blue botanical print that transforms it into a standout piece, whilst the brief puff sleeves provide flexibility as they can be styled off the shoulders, reports the Daily Record. This floaty dress is ideal for balmy summer weather (Image: Next) For those seeking to conceal a swollen stomach, the design also boasts a gathered waistline that has received glowing feedback in reviews, with one customer noting that it "disguises" the tummy region. A sought-after item on the Next website, this €59.50 midi dress has already become unavailable in the petite length, with the standard version offered in sizes six to 26, plus several tall alternatives - although some are displaying "low stock."

One glowing review stated: "Gorgeous material with flattering empire line if you have a tummy to disguise. Beautiful fine cotton that's more of a sateen and is more floaty. "Fabric design is also beautiful and the style and length is a bit different to what everyone is wearing, therefore I have had lots of comments about it."
