Finding the perfect summer dress that strikes a balance between style and practicality can be quite a challenge. However, shoppers may have stumbled upon just the right piece at Next. Offered in eight different prints, the high street shop's Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress is priced at a reasonable £34.
Shoppers can choose from an elegant cream colourway with a black floral print, as well as a trendy fruit pattern and an Italy-inspired design, among others. The dress, which has been garnering compliments, is cut to a mini length and comes in both regular and petite sizes, making it suitable for fashion enthusiasts of varying heights.
It's crafted from a lightweight linen blend, providing all the advantages of the airy fabric while being easy to launder and more wrinkle-resistant.

Their review states: "The dress was lovely and would have been great for summer and holidays but I was very disappointed that I had to return it because although I bought my usual size it was gaping a lot under the arms. I did try the next size down because I really wanted the dress but sadly this was too tight across the breast so I ended up paying twice for postage with no dress to show for it."
Meanwhile, a different customer adored their latest purchase from Next, commenting: "Loved the fabric. Loved the easy to wear style and the fit was just right. Happy with the quick delivery and the low price."

I've always loved Stacey Solomon. But the bikini pics have led me to a startling realisation… and deep unease

I LOVE Stacey Solomon, I really do. I've known her since she was on The X Factor as an ambitious 20-year-old and felt for her when her latest reality show 'Stacey and Joe' was slammed - why, then, did the pics of her glorious curves this week hit me like a ton of bricks? 6 6 6 As she posed in her orange bikini on holiday in Lake Como this week, she looked happy, healthy and carefree. Sadly the vile trolls unleashed a torrent of abuse on her with one cruelly saying "She's let herself go" while another added " Ozempic needed". And as I absorbed the comments, it hit me how long it had been since I had seen a celebrity body that looked like my own. Recently it feels like on social media I am constantly bombarded with tiny toned bodies, perfect pert bums and impossibly flat stomachs. Even when I put down my phone it's on our TV screens as the new season of Love Island kicked off with girls in barely-there bikinis and not one belly roll in sight. It's quite a worrying trend and it's left me feeling uneasy that being thin is so back en vogue. I grew up in the era where pals lived by Kate Moss 's mantra 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. Having struggled with my weight since my teens and having tried (and failed) to do every fad diet going, I've always felt inadequate. I was grateful for the rise of the body confident movement, and I totally embraced it. Finally I could feel comfortable in my own skin because celebrities like Adele, Rebel Wilson and Lizzo - who looked like me - were saying they felt sexy, too. But over the last 12 months I've seen curvier (and actually not-so-curvy) celebs slim down at an accelerated rate with the rise of fat jabs. Everyone has the right to do what they want with their bodies and lose weight however they choose and there are certainly health benefits to slimming down. Stacey Solomon looks incredible as she strips off to black bikini and jumps off a bridge in Italy But this new quick fix means our celebrities are smaller than ever and I think it's making people forget what real women look like. The cult of thin is back in such a big way and it's depressing for those who aren't getting on board and sacrificing themselves to weight loss injections in a bid to be a skinny minny. Stacey, who is a busy mum to Zachary, 17, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three and two-year-old Belle, has never shied away from celebrating her 'mum bod'. And it is refreshing to see a typical healthy woman in the public eye. It makes me feel that it would be OK for me to get my body out this summer on holiday. Two years ago, the 35-year-old, who is married to Joe Swash, revealed to her followers she's a size 10-12. The average woman in the UK is a size 16 so while she is still smaller than most women, she is still being judged. The Loose Women star is also maintaining a healthy lifestyle, often working out in her newly built home gym where she aims to be strong not skinny. Standing in front of a mirror she said: 'I thought it was really important to come on here and say when I take the gym clothes off I look like this…' before pulling down her leggings down past her hips to show off unfiltered and non-photoshopped body. She added, '...Which is also really pretty and a really lovely body and I just feel like it's important to show that.' Stacey is one of our most successful Brit celebrities with over 6.1m followers. Strong not skinny She's got a host of TV shows and successful brand deals and is even rumoured to be taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. In a sea of size zero Ozempic loving stars, maintaining her realistic normal body is perhaps why she's still winning over audiences. Stacey's success is not determined by the size on her label. I'm grateful, like many other women, that she prefers to give us an injection of her relatable and funny personality rather than injecting a weight loss drug into her body! 6 6 6
