Next shoppers hail dress that 'skims over your tum' and is 'ideal for summer'
If the recent brilliant weather has got your longing for more days in the sunshine, then you may be considering refreshing your wardrobe. And we've found a "stunning" printed dress that is "ideal for summer".
Next's Linen Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress is perfect for the warmer months. Able to be dressed up with a pair of heels or worn dressed down with some trainers, shift dresses are a great fit for all summer events.
Next's dress comes in six different styles, with a range of prices from the black colour at £24 to a cream and green palm floral print for £38. Other styles include a rust brown Paisley print, a cream, pink, and blue house print, and a mono placement floral design.
The shift dress is made from a lightweight linen-blend and features a scoop back neck, side pockets and a split side hem, Nottinghamshire Live reports.
Made of 70 per cent Livaeco viscose and 30 per cent linen, the dress is machine washable and available in a variety of sizes.
Available in sizes 6 to 26 in regular, 4 to 20 in petite, and 10 to 20 in tall - though some sizes in some of the different prints have sold out or are low in stock.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a longer dress, Next offers a Strappy Tie Front Midi Dress in five different styles, including navy, striped, or gingham. You can currently snap it up for either £39 or £40, depending on the design.
Elsewhere, Boden's Leah Jersey T-Shirt Dress is £52 and available in six different designs, including red and white stripes, several floral designs, and a tropical bonanza print.
But if it's Next's Linen Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress you're after, then you're not the only one. Customers praised its stunning design and how perfect it is for the warmer weather.
One happy shopper said: "Great fitting linen dress. Ideal for the summer months. Good quality. Would recommend buying."
Someone else added: "I'm not normally a dress person, but I was attracted initially by the striking print. I was also really pleased with the fit - skimmed over my less than flat tum, without looking frumpy. Smart, yet casual, ideal for summer."
While a third five-star reviewer added: "Material is soft and comfy to wear on holiday, perfect fit. Bought all designs in same dress. Good value for money as they look more expensive."
However, some customers were a bit put off by the fact that the dress' summer style meant it was unlined.
One buyer said: "The dress is a little see-through, I had planned to wear at a party and dress it up but as it's see-through I won't, but it's good for daytime on holiday."
Another agreed, adding: "As this item is not lined, it's completely see-through when worn, even with flesh coloured underwear. Only suitable as a beach coverup, not for everyday wear."

A second added: "It's a really striking attractive design. It looks so nice on. It is such a change from small flowery prints."
While someone else commented. "Lovely, simple but stunning dress. I felt slightly oversized so went one size smaller. Could be dressed up or casual. Not too short - came to just above knee on me - 5ft5in."

Sometimes, you just need the perfect jacket that is the middle ground that covers all bases. Shoppers have praised The One Show's Alex Jones' new collaboration with clothing brand Cotton Traders. They have especially praised her Unlined Utility Jacket, for it's versatility and said it's perfect for "cooler days". The jacket is priced at £59, and has an overall rating of 4.8 stars.

The Unlined Utility Jacket also includes a functional inner elastic draw chord with a brushed silver toggle, which allows you to cinch in the waist to show off your figure, or leave it run loose if you prefer a baggier look. The website says: "The military-style jacket of your dreams is designed for timeless cool appeal. In a relaxed fit with a laidback shape perfect for layering. A neat collar and button cuffs add a more formal touch, while the four pockets on the front bring a utility vibe."
