Next customers have been raving about a versatile dress that's perfect for both a laid-back day look or an elegant evening ensemble. The retailer offers a plethora of choices, with a variety of colours, sizes, and patterns available.
The Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress from the high-street favourite is a hit among fashionistas. Touted by Next as "perfect for holidays and sunny day outfits," this sleeveless number is crafted from a linen-blend material known for its lightness and breathability.
Featuring a button and zip-up closure at the back, along with stitched detailing, it boasts a "flattering high neck shape". Available in five distinct designs, shoppers can pick from black shell print, blue gingham, or red and black geo print, each priced from €43.50 to €46.
The dress is offered in sizes ranging from 6 to 24, including tall and petite options. The Cream and Black Polka Dot iteration (€46) tops the style charts, closely followed by the solid pink version at €43.50, reports the Mirror.
In the review section for Next's Mini Sleeveless Racer Stretch Linen Blend Dress, one customer exclaimed: "Love this dress, lovely fit in tall. Suitable day or night for holidays."
Another chimed in with praise, saying: "Love this dress, bit of stretch and comfy."
A third remarked on the "flattering fit" while another chimed in: "You can either wear it in the daytime or dress it up for night out. Little stretch in the fabric which makes it really comfy too."
Not all styles receive feedback, leaving potential buyers in the dark as some people prefer to read others' reviews before a purchase lands on their doorstep. Complaints did emerge, with one buyer stating the size of the dress they received was "ridiculously small" and another claiming their €46 investment "wasn't even finished off properly".
Nonetheless, dress buyers largely express satisfaction. One stated: "Beautiful spring/summer dress. Lovely material and fits perfectly. [It's my] favourite dress in the wardrobe."
For those eyeing the bold pink version, another buyer extolled its virtues, saying: "Dress is lovely, cool and bright. It's the perfect fit for me. I get so many compliments when I wear it."
Finally, an additional happy customer shared: "Lovely little dress that looks great on and I love the colour. Originally, I got the spotted one, and I liked it so much that I purchased this pink one too."

Baby name experts list six 'outdated' names new parents should steer clear of
Choosing a name for your newborn can be a tricky and daunting task, but two baby name consultants have shared six old-fashioned names that new parents might want to avoid. British professional baby namer SJ Strum and Boston-based consultant Colleen Slagen have compiled a list of names they recommend to clients, but there are a select few they suggest bypassing. Colleen advises against sturdy, old-school monikers like Linda, Karen, and Janet, which she believes are falling out of fashion, while SJ warns parents off what she terms "1990s norm-core dad names" such as Gary, Stuart, and Ian. Speaking to the Daily Mail, SJ described pregnancy as "such a bamboozling time. She added that picking a name is just one of the overwhelming number of decisions expectant parents face, reports the Mirror. She believes that enlisting an expert to choose a baby's name can transform the process into "one of the most joyous and bonding parts of your pregnancy." "Couples want a name that tells their story," she says, delving into personal details such as hobbies, university studies, and where they first met to find the perfect fit. SJ also mentioned receiving last-minute messages from delivery rooms, with parents desperate for help naming their newborn. She offers sage advice for resolving deadlocks when one parent is fixated on a name the other detests. SJ offers a cheeky tip for those stuck with a partner's preferred boys' name they can't stand: "That normally gets them off it pretty quick," she reveals, suggesting you claim it's the name of an ex. For parents-to-be mulling over names for their little girl, SJ recommends timeless options like Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, or Sofia, while James, Henry, Lucas, or William are equally classic choices for boys. SJ also highlights some novel trends in baby naming, noting: "'Nature names are becoming popular: River is rising up the ranks. I'm also seeing a lot of whimsical names that hark back to virtues, such as Sage." She observes that following the passing of celebrities or notable figures, there's often a spike in the popularity of their names, adding: "We saw lots of variations on Elizabeth after the late Queen passed away, and Bowie after David died in 2016." Before finalising a name, SJ advises giving it a test run: "What does it feel like to say it out loud?". Sharing her own experience, SJ points out practical aspects to consider: "Will you be asked to spell it in a coffee shop? "I had a client who loved the name Persephone, but did the coffee shop test and decided it was far too much of a mouthful".

Next's €54 summer dress is so perfect shoppers 'wish it came in more colours'
Next customers are raving about a 'gorgeous' summer dress they're keen to snap up in several different colours. Hailed as the ideal choice for both chic evening affairs, like seaside cocktail sessions on holiday, or more relaxed daytime activities like picnics in the park, this high street find is causing quite a stir. Priced at €54 and sold online, the Jersey Waisted Summer Dress comes in an array of colours such as cream, navy, chocolate brown, and olive green. It also accommodates a broad range of sizes from 6 to 22 and offers a petite option for those who need it. Next have labelled this breezy number as "ideal for summer", perfect for both "beachside cocktails or picnics in the park". They've highlighted its "versatile and timeless" style which includes a "flattering" neckline, waist details and practical side pockets. The stylish Next dress has proven to be a hit with many shoppers. The high street retailer says that it can be effortlessly "dressed up with sandals and heels or down with your favourite trainers", depending on the vibe you're after, as reported by the Mirror. Customers are heaping praise on the item, as one shopper gushed: "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 chimed in, saying: "Lovely dress and so comfortable to wear." And a third added: "Looks so simple but looks and fits amazingly." Another comment came from a happy buyer read: "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 has noted a disclaimer on their website alerting shoppers that "this product has a smaller fit than usual", possibly explaining why some customers felt the need to opt for a larger size. Criticism hasn't gone unnoticed though, with one customer stating: "The material was completely see-through and the top was very tight. Item was returned." Nonetheless, glowing reviews dominated the feedback. A fifth fan left a five-star rating, highlighting: "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."
