Made with cool, breathable cotton, this dress is perfect for daily wear when the temperature rises. It features a crewneck collar and a twist detail at the waist, giving it a stylish midi-length finish.

Further praise came with: "Brilliant fit. It sits snuggly and holds in all the right places, it really compliments my figure and I got lots of nice comments."
Another purchaser noted: " Lovely dress and great length, I like it so much I have bought the navy striped one too. Very comfortable to wear and no need for tights."
Whilst most feedback is positive, there were some gripes about the fit and fabric quality stating: "It was not a good fit or very flattering. The material was very stiff."
If you're looking for something different, the Textured Wrap Bodice Midi Dress from Roman for £40 (approx €47.75) is another great option. Available in three colours, shoppers praised the "lovely comfortable dress", but one added: "4 stars because it's a bit low and required a stitch or two."

Staggering number of WhatsApps primary school pupil sent in single night revealed, sparking smartphone ban
A YEAR 6 pupil racked up 9,000 WhatsApps in a single night — prompting their primary school to ban smartphones. The extreme messaging on the child's handset stoked online safety fears, leading parents to agree to a ban. Advertisement 1 A primary school pupil racked up 9,000 WhatsApps in a single night — prompting their school to ban smartphones (stock picture) Credit: Getty The pupil, aged ten or 11, had followed school rules by handing in their phone at the start of the day but forgot to collect it. When their teacher at Blackhorse Primary School in Bristol retrieved it, they saw the thousands of missed messages. Executive headteacher Simon Botten said: 'The teacher picked up the phone, waking it, only to see a notification of 9,000 missed messages from the Year 6 pupil WhatsApp group overnight. 'Nine thousand messages in a 15-hour overnight period.' Advertisement READ MORE ON PHONE BANS Staff at the school were so shocked by the level of activity they started a consultation process over whether smartphones should be banned. Supporters pointed to a rise in cyber-bullying, growing phone obsession and predators online. When police were brought in to give a talk on sexual predators and crooks lurking online, shocked parents swung behind the idea — with nearly nine in ten voting in favour of the ban. Children will still be allowed to bring in brick phones for texts and calls only.

He added: 'Parents massively overestimate dangers in the real world and massively underestimate dangers in the digital one.'

Next sandals hailed as 'very comfortable' with shoppers buying multiple pairs
Next customers are smitten with a chic €61.50 pair of sandals, which have enticed customers to repeatedly come back for more. The Lipsy Black Standard Fit Elastic Low Wedge Espadrille Sandals have been dubbed "very comfortable" by satisfied shoppers. The range includes standard, wide and extra wide fits, with a variety of colour choices, though availability may vary by size. Some shoppers were so taken with the stylish sandals that they've bought them multiple times, as one customer shared: "I have purchased these 3 times as I absolutely love them." However, sizing issues were mentioned by other purchasers, hence it's advised to check out reviews thoroughly before buying, reports the Mirror. Before taking the plunge on Next's sought-after sandals, it might be wise to peruse through the array of critiques for the Lipsy Black Standard Fit Elastic Low Wedge Espadrille Sandals. One particularly customer enthused about the fit: "Good fit true to size, very comfortable great to walk in. Wore them for my flight to Barbados to join a cruise and had them on over 12 hours so very pleased with them." Another fan gushed: "Some of the most comfortable wedges ever worn!! Love them and now have in three different colours!" Another shopper added: "I bought the navy Lipsy sandals and they are so comfortable to wear, I decided to get the nude ones as they will go with any outfit. Great price too." On the other hand, a customer was unimpressed, remarking: "Compete rubbish for the money. Sent them back." Another shopper observed: "I bought these sandals last year in a couple of colours. They go really nice with jeans, and are really comfortable. The quality of this pair doesn't seem as sturdy. I don't think they are going to last as long." Regarding sizing issues, one buyer expressed disappointment: "I was I bit disappointed with these. One of the shoes fit better than the other which feels a bit loose." When it came to the wide-fit option, views were mixed. An elated customer commented: "Such lovely comfortable sandals with a lightweight wedge heel. Being elasticated at front they don't hurt your feet. Quite expensive but worth it for comfort." Echoing the praise, another enthusiast noted: "I have purchased these 3 times as I absolutely love them. Very comfortable and look lovely. Good fit. Excellent delivery service." However, someone else had some constructive criticism about the design: "So pleased to find wide foot sandals with a decent wedge heel." One buyer noted a minor issue, saying: "My only criticism is that there could be slightly more padding under the foot, however I don't intend doing long treks in them so they'll be fine for what I'll be using them for. Bought two pairs one black one navy, size 5 UK, foot is a little long there's a bit of a gap at the heel." A different shopper remarked on the fit: "Perhaps I shouldn't have ordered wide fit, although I usually need these, but the straps were too loose and I had to return these sandals." On the flip side, another satisfied customer shared their positive experience: "I bought a pair last year they were so comfy I brought another pair but in a different colour. Highly recommend especially if you have wide feet."
