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."

A glowing review read: "I'm really pleased with these trousers. They're wide but not too wide. They're long but not too long for me at 5.5. They're a sort of off white which is easy to wear and they're not see through. Really great for the hot weather. Oh, and the creases drop out! A winner for summer." Someone else praised: "Wow! So glad I ordered just in time for our Cornish holiday. I suffer with bloating so went for L (I'm a 12). Could have ordered a medium but these are mega comfortable. It doesn't feel like you're wearing anything! Going to order other colours for work. I'm 5ft 3 so they're long but I like that."

One shopper who was going to buy multiple colours said: "So light and comfortable. Going to buy more as very reasonably priced." There has been some criticism for the "unreliable sizing", both in the length and waistline. One such shopper who left a three-star review read: "Huge! Size down but be prepared for the small to be on the small side!" Although, this wasn't the case for everyone, as another pleased shopper said: "I am a size 12 and ordered a M. They are light and floaty and perfect for summer. The length is great, I'm 5'8 and I can still wear them mid waist with a crop top and they look great. "They aren't too tight on the waist either, very comfortable, glad I bought these in 2 different colours! Purchase H&M's Linen-Blend Trousers for £17.99 here.

New Look's £45 midi dress hailed by shoppers for 'making waists look tiny'
The Square Neck Midi Dress has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating on the New Look website. Whether you're gearing up for a wedding or curating your holiday ensemble, a flattering dress is a must-have. The fashion scene is abuzz with the trend of dropped waistlines, and New Look's Square Neck Midi Dress chicly integrates this style while oozing sophistication. Comfort meets flair in the dress's three-panel construct, offering a fit-and-flare profile that accentuates the waist and hips before cascading into an elegantly feminine skirt. It comes in both bold red and black shades, all though the latter colour is currently only available in sizes 18 to 22. Retailing at £45.99, the midi dress boasts machine-washable fabric, incorporating a layered bust feature and finished with a zip detail on the back. For those seeking extra flair, River Island's Black V Neck Frill Midi Dress comes in at £46, complete with puff sleeves and frilly neckline embellishments. On the more casual side, Next's Black Sleeveless Drop Waist 100% Cotton Crew Neck Midi Dress, priced at £28, is perfect for relaxed events, reports Yorkshire Live. New Look described their attire: "This midi dress is an occasion wear take on the fit-and-flare silhouette. The gathered skirt counters the slender, panelled bodice." Patrons have been quick to sing its praises, showering the frock with five-star reviews for its shape-enhancing design. The Square Neck Midi Dress from New Look is garnering plenty of accolades, currently holding an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars rating, making it a top pick for those on the lookout for a new frock. Delighted by her purchase, one customer said: " This dress is so beautiful, managed to get it with a 25 percent discount code but it's worth full price in my opinion, the fit is perfect on me and it's so flattering, love it." However, some petite buyers have found the fit less than perfect due to its length, with one commenting: "I'm 5ft 1 and generally have a short torso so found the straps were a little long. Returned but would probably repurchase if there were a petite option." One satisfied customer remarked: "Stunning dress that is mid/just below calf length (I'm 5'6). Looks amazing with a tan and makes your waist look tiny and gorgeous neckline. Absolutely love it! Fits true to normal size." Another happy shopper succinctly put it: "Love it! Nice item." Buy New Look's Square Neck Midi Dress here. If you're looking to expand the colours in your wardrobe, there are plenty of garments available from retailers to do just that. Boden has cut £61 off this summer dress that is adorned with cool blues and reds in a chic floral design.

River Island's 'stunning' maxi dress has shoppers saying their 'jaw is on the floor'
This £85 maxi dress is sure to be a statement wardrobe item this summer. Summer is the season where the calendar will be packed with fancy events. As exciting as that sounds, it also means looking for a new outfit. No matter the occasion, River Island's Black Bandeau Bodycon Maxi Dress will attract anyone's attention, with fashion fans loving it that much they say their "jaw is on the floor." Retailing at £85, this stylish frock will look perfect at summer weddings and graduations, while also complimenting a sun-kissed tan when on holiday in sunnier climates. Currently a popular buy online, the design features a chic sleeveless, bandeau neckline that will prevent any tan lines if taken on holiday. The chiffon hem detail is clearly the star of the show, adding movement and drama to its glamorous aesthetic. Finished with a back zip fastening, we think that it is best to dress up this maxi number, preferably pairing it with simple jewellery, a pair of heels and a chic diamante bag, allowing the dress to do most of the talking. Black Bandeau Bodycon Maxi Dress Product Description Described as "selling fast" online, it is still available to buy on the River Island website in sizes six to 18, although sizes eight and ten have sold out, so we expect it to be popular. River Island isn't the only retailer stocking summer occasion wear, as Next features a similar standout option with the Lipsy Black/White Applique Flower Trim Fit And Flare Maxi Dress that costs £95. For the fashion enthusiasts who'd prefer a splash of colour, then Roman's Light Blue Floral Print Pleated Maxi Dress, £80, will be perfect for any function this summer. It is worth noting that River Island's Black bandeau Bodcon Maxi Dress hasn't just caught our eye, as fashion influencer @samanthakenny_ recently styled it on Instagram, leaving her followers to rave over it as "simply stunning." One follower rushed to praise: "Absolutely stunning." A second enthusiastic Instagram user said: "Jaw is on the floor." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Since the River Island website does not offer official reviews on any of its items, it is worth noting that there doesn't seem to be any negative feedback or critique for its influencer-loved dress. However, since it is a maxi-length and seems to be available in a regular-fit design, shoppers who are classed as 'petite' may want to consider the length before purchasing, as it may be a tad longer than they expected.
