Shoppers love 'elegant' summer dress that 'skims over bumpy bits'
FatFace's Iris Linen-Blend Dress is the ideal summer frock for those who want to look stylish but feel cool and comfortable at the same time
When it comes to summer dressing, ease and elegance are the ultimate goals. We want to stay cool in the heat, but still look on trend, and I've found the perfect summer dress for under £70 that ticks all of those boxes.
The Iris Light Blue Denim Dress from FatFace is one that strikes the ultimate balance between style and comfort this summer. Priced at £69, this linen-blend midi dress is quickly becoming a staple for fashion fans, who said it 'skims over bumpy bits' and gets them 'lots of compliments.'
Crafted in a soft, lightweight linen - one of the most popular fabrics for beating summer heat - the Iris dress boasts a round neckline and sleeveless design, helping avoid pesky sweat patches. The flowy silhouette skims the figure, making it flattering without clinging, which wearers have said 'looks elegant'.
The dress has earned nothing but praise since it launched a couple of weeks ago. One shopper said: 'I love this dress, it skims over bumpy bits, looks elegant, and a lovely lightweight and practical dress.'
The midi length and unfussy cut make this dress ideal for multiple occasions. Whether you're enjoying lunch al fresco, packing for a coastal getaway or attending a chic wedding, it works for a range of events. Many customers have described it as 'lovely' writing: 'Lovely summer dress, fits and hangs well,' 'Lovely dress and had lots of compliments. Nice quality,' and 'Lovely comfortable summer dress.'
It seems to be a rather popular style of dress, with a couple of similar designs on the high street right now. The High-Neck Linen-Blend Maxi Dress from Abercrombie and Fitch is perhaps the closest match we found. It's on sale from £82 down to £38.99, is made from linen and cotton and has a 'body-skimming silhouette'.
At Roman, there's a boxier, slightly looser alternative in the Light Blue Satin A-Line Midi Dress, which is £20, down from £36. While it doesn't have any reviews, some shoppers have shared the reason they purchased it, with one commenting: 'It looks cool for hot summer days and evenings.'
As for the FatFace dress there are a couple of downsides worth noting. Currently, it is not offered in a tall fit - only regular and short - which may be a drawback for taller shoppers. Additionally, it's available in just one colour, but we imagine many would love to see it expanded into more shades.
That said, the Iris Light Blue Denim Dress is still a standout wardrobe hero for summer and I expect it'll be a sellout before the next heatwave. For those struggling to find their size in stock, the dress is also available at Next.

Love Island's Davide marks relationship milestone as ex Ekin-Su announces split
Davide Sanclimenti and Iris Au have celebrated their one-year anniversary -and he shared a sweet video montage with some of their best moments together in the past year Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti has marked a huge milestone in his relationship with his girlfriend after his ex, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, revealed she is going through a tough time since splitting from Curtis Pritchard. The 30-year-old Italian TV personality has celebrated his one-year anniversary with Iris Au, who is known as EyeRize online, and shared a sweet video montage of them to mark the occasion. The clip included some of the moments they enjoyed together over the past year, including dates and holidays. Davide can be seen giving his partner a huge bouquet of roses in the video, with another clip showing them kissing on the beach. He captioned the post "ONE," followed by a red heard emoji, adding: "Happy Anniversary." American Iris, who has two daughters - 10-year-old Paris and 11-year-old Pia - commented: "I love you so so much." Davide replied: "I love you baby." Davide, who has embarked on a new life in Los Angeles, went public with his romance with Iris in January. On Valentine's Day, he declared his love for Iris in an Instagram post, writing: "Happy Valentine's Day to the most romantic woman I've ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a 'monthsary' is." Davide shot to fame after winning Love Island with his ex Ekin-Su in 2022 - but the pair had a tumultuous relationship and split the following year. He then went on to meet Iris, while Ekin-Su dated dancer Curtis for three months this year after they appeared on Love Island: All Stars together and fell for each other. However, last week she said they have broken up as she shared the "tough decision" behind their split. Her statement read: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another. "He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su xX." Although Ekin-Su didn't give a straightforward reason for their split, she had been the centre of drama between Curtis and MAFS star Georges Berthonneau in recent weeks. The Married At First Sight star previously alleged he was in a relationship with the brunette beauty while she was dating Curtis. Speaking on Fubar Radio, Georges claimed: "On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument. She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone." He added: "Everyone was like 'why are you saying it now?', because I loved the girl and I didn't want to let go of it. And my biggest thing was, why should I keep protecting someone who can't even apologise or take accountability." He continued: "I even said to her on the phone, I was like 'are you not going to apologise?' You had sex with another man whilst I was at home. And you're not even going to apologise." Curtis later broke his silence and told The Sun: "Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let's get in the ring. I've just been focusing on the camp. I haven't read anything or done anything, truthfully. And that's all that matters to me. I'm focusing on the camp, I'm focusing on having fun with Ekin and that's all that matters to me."
