Next's 'charming' floral midi dress hailed as perfect for summer weddings
Peak wedding season is upon us, and the quest for that show-stopping outfit is in full swing. Luckily, we've come across a dress that's bound to turn heads this summer.
The search for the perfect wedding guest attire can be daunting, but fashionistas are raving about the White/Blue Floral Square Neck Puff Hem Midi Dress from Next.
Priced at €111, this delightful number has been hailed by the retailer as "a wonderful option for special events". It's versatile enough to team with heels or flats, making it suitable for weddings, family gatherings, and beyond.
Made from a cool cotton blend and adorned with a lovely blue floral pattern, this dress promises to be both striking and comfortable for those warmer summer days.
It features a fashionable midi-length hem, enhanced by a puff hem and cut-out details at the back. The sleeveless style is finished with an elegant square neckline and secured with a zip and button, reports the Daily Record.
Available in both regular and petite sizes, you can snag this floral beauty in sizes six to 20, though some sizes are flying off the shelves, with the website indicating "low stock" for certain ones.
While this white and blue floral frock is perfect for wedding festivities, it's also worth noting that it comes in this season's must-have butter yellow shade, and it's slightly less expensive at €110..
Fashionistas on the hunt for the perfect wedding guest outfit might find the yellow version of the popular dress more appealing, as it ditches the all-over print for a simpler look that avoids the faux pas of wearing white to someone else's big day.
Next's Square Neck Puff Hem Dress is causing a stir among shoppers, with both colour options receiving glowing five-star reviews for its "elegant" design.
One delighted customer praised the white version, saying: "Charming, elegant dress," while another mentioned it was "Just what I wanted for a wedding in the heat of Italy."
A satisfied buyer commented on the fit and quality, stating: "Fits well and very good quality material."
The lemon yellow variant has not been left behind in praise, with a review highlighting: "Colour amazing fitting as my size looks and feels special on."
Another added their approval, noting: "Loved the colour style and fit. Good quality fabric."
Available in a white floral print (€111) and a striking lemon yellow (€110), the Square Neck Puff Hem Midi Dress is up for grabs at Next right now.

I'm a fashion expert – I've found seven summer dresses that hide bingo wings… and they're not frumpy
BINGO wings beware – the high street has gone sleeveless mad. And if, like me, you don't love your upper arms, that's seriously bad news . Advertisement 7 Bright red puff sleeve midi dress, £36, Next Credit: Next 7 Cream satin floral twist front maxi dress, £56, River Island Credit: River Island I know I'm not alone, either. When I ranted about this in the office , there was a chorus of agreement. Not because we're all body-conscious, but because — shock horror — some of us want to wear real clothes to places other than a beach. On TikTok, clips showing exercises to eliminate bingo wings have hundreds of thousands of likes. And I'm not surprised. At the age of 35, it's quite common for women my age — and older — to feel self-conscious about their arms. Advertisement READ MORE IN FABULOUS Over-50s fitness influencer Nikki Brow amasses more than 560k views on TikTok for her 'Menopause ladies' videos to banish bingo wings. And #armworkout videos have more than 4.5 billion views on the social media platform. But trying to find anything to cover our upper arms this summer is a relentless task. As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time trawling the rails of the high street (it's my job, after all), I recently found myself storming through Zara in London's Oxford Street, wondering if the designers had collectively lost the plot — or just stopped believing in sleeves. Everywhere I turned it was strappy slip dresses, halterneck beachwear pretending to be occasionwear, and sequinned numbers clearly aimed at women who treat the club loos as a selfie booth. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous And sleeves? Nowhere to be found. There was one long-sleeved dress and, plot twist, it had no back. Shoppers run to bag on-trend spring dress with 'boho vibes' in Sainsbury's Brilliant. So now I've got to shell out again for a stick-on-bra and rolls of duct tape to keep everything in its rightful place. But it's not just Zara, either. Unless your upper arms resemble Michelle Obama's, your options are: repeat-wear something from last year, or whip out the sewing kit. Advertisement And spare me the body-positivity speeches. 'Just go sleeveless,' they say, or 'Embrace your arms — no one cares'. Well, I care when I catch sight of my reflection in a shop window and see the glaring sight of a wide arm. I want sleeves. Not cap sleeves (a con), not flutter sleeves (cute but pointless), but sleeves that actually cover the upper arm. But never fear, I've done the legwork (or the arm work) and found the best sleeved summer dresses that tick all the right boxes. Advertisement Because fashion should make you feel good and for some of us, that means keeping our arms under wraps. EMPIRE LINE Red, Next, £36 Empire line, with a seam and fitted under the bust, is flattering on everyone, from fuller busts to fuller middles. This number from Next in bold red and accented sleeves is perfect for summer. Advertisement EVERY OCCASION WEAR Multi, River Island, £56 No one wants to splash out on a statement dress that will only see you through one wedding, or an annual trip to the races. You want a dress that's value for money and that you can wear all season. River Island's long-sleeved midaxi does just that. Advertisement A knotted waist and slightly padded shoulders enhance an hourglass figure, while the busy print is disguising without being too loud. BOLD PRINT Floral, H&M, £27.99 7 Floral patterned midi dress, £27.99, H&M Credit: Supplied Ditsy florals have a habit of ageing us, whereas bolder colours and prints inject life into our outfits, like this button-down H&M dress. Advertisement This is summer in a frock. With its pretty-yet-punchy pattern and elegant length, it's the non-frumpy floral dress we've been waiting for. Wear it on a Sunday stroll, or for a day at the races. BARGAIN BOHO Floral, Tu at Sainsbury's, £35 7 Floral boho maxi dress, by Tu at Sainsbury's, £35 Credit: Supplied Boho has made a triumphant return to fashion this year, but while most of us over 25 can't bear the thought of wearing disc belts and a mini dress, this embodies the trend without looking like 1970s fancy dress. Advertisement Slight ruffled detailing gives depth, while breaking up the floral print. And a V-neckline is flattering for fuller busts. SHIRT DRESS Green, George at Asda, £38 7 Green shirt dress with linen, George at Asda, £38 Credit: Asda Create a defined silhouette with a classic shirt dress. This one has a slightly puffed sleeve that gives it an expensive feel. Advertisement In a deep, verdant green, it also creates a bold look with zero effort and can be dressed up with metallic accessories for holidays and weddings, or dressed down with your favourite Birkenstocks for everyday wear. TIMELESS CLASSIC Polka dot, Primark, £14 7 Primark polka dot dress, £14 Credit: Primark From royalty to the high street, you can't go wrong with a bit of polka dot. Advertisement It's one of those trusty staples you can keep in your wardrobe for years. With a three-quarter sleeve and shin-length skirt, this Primark dress is perfect for summer. HELLO YELLOW Broderie, New Look, £69.99 7 Yellow broderie anglaise midi dress, New Look, £69.99 Credit: Supplied Butter yellow is the colour of the season, with everyone from Kendall Jenner to the Princess of Wales sporting the hue. Advertisement Another style synonymous with summer is broderie anglaise. And New Look's hybrid of the two trends, with a slit down the back, is the one for you. With three-quarter sleeves and delicate cut-outs, it's a designer-looking dress for less.

(Image: Next) Another happy shopper added: "Lovely dress. Bought for a Caribbean holiday. Got lots of compliments. True to size. Doesn't crease." There was also lauding for the animal print number from a fan saying: "Love them, really comfortable." Yet, some punters suggested the fit might be snug around the bust area, illustrated by a less than perfect three-star critique: "Looks good size ok slightly tighter around bust but good for day or night." (Image: Next) Nonetheless, kudos outweighed the negatives, with comments like: "Nice light cotton straight summer dress. Ideal for a holiday." An enthusiastic buyer remarked: "Gorgeous dress for holidays comfy to wear and very flattering. I bought 3 all different patterns, love them all, easily dressed up for evening. I must add they are on the smallest size so I would size up." Next has pitched their Printed Midi Slip Summer Dresses at a tempting €39, up for grabs now.
