People said the comfy item would be perfect during the hot summer months - both in the UK or on holiday abroad
Next shoppers have been praising a "comfortable" holiday dress that was also called "very flattering" and is made from a lightweight material that "keeps you cool" in the heat. It's proved so popular with shoppers that people have gone back to buy multiple colours.
The Twist Short Sleeved T-Shirt Summer Dress starts from £24. It is available in sizes 6 to 26 as well as having both petite and tall fitting options to make sure the dress fits most body types perfectly.
It comes in six different style options, with plain colours including black, khaki green, plum purple and red (all £24). Next also offers two versions with a pattern, including a white and black print (£26) and a navy blue with white striped version (£28).
Similar styles are available at other stores - such as the M&S Pure Cotton Striped Mini T-Shirt Dress (£25), Wallis Premium Jersey T-shirt Dress (via Debenhams from £22) or New Look's Black Sequin T-Shirt Mini Dress (was £29.99, now £16). However, Next had lots of shoppers ordering this Twist Short Sleeved T-Shirt Summer Dress.
Across every style, the dress itself has over 150 reviews, with most awarding a flawless five-star rating. The most popular (based on those ratings) was the khaki green version, however, shoppers loved these dresses so much that a few bought multiple styles.
One shopper said: " This is a dress that will never date and will be useful for many occasions. It is comfortable to wear, and the twisted front makes it a bit more interesting."
Another added: "Excellent buy. Material good quality and a very flattering style." A third wrote: "Loose fitting and quite thin material but great for a holiday in the daytime or could be dressed up for nighttime."
Someone else posted: "I only wanted the khaki version of this dress but for the price I thought why not try the black too. I'm so pleased I did. Very flattering for someone who is super conscious of my tummy area."
A fifth put in their review: "Brilliant fit! Sits snuggly and it holds in all the right places, it really complements my figure and I got lots of nice comments at the event I wore it to!"
And, another shared: "Fantastic easy wear summer dress. Very flattering and keeps you cool."
Some did have issues and had to send the dress back to Next. One claimed: "Returned as neck too high and felt uncomfortable."
Another suggested the dress was "shapeless" and others found issue with where the fashion store has placed the twist knot. In addition to the fit and feel, shoppers who went for the plain red option claimed in the reviews it arrived and was "more of a bright orange."
