Nobody's Child's 'gorgeous' new summer dresses in must-have print ideal for weddings The brand has launched a number of new summer dresses, including a playful mini take on the brand's viral Felicity dress which we think is ideal for destination weddings and summer parties Nobody's Child's Felicity and Briony dresses have recently launched and are ideal for summer events (Image: Nobody's Child ) With summer in reaching distance, many of us have our social calendars filled with birthdays, BBQs and, of course, weddings near and far. And for those travelling abroad for the nuptials of their dearest friends or family, wearing an outfit that can withstand stifling heat is a must. Nobody's Child has recently launched a number of gorgeous new dresses we think are ideal for destination weddings that'll keep you cool in tropical climes and can work for the hen do, ceremony and the after party - with the right accessories. The brand has released a series of new bubble hem dresses in a mini length with one particular style rivalling the brand's viral polka dot midi dress of the same style that sold out earlier this year in the white version and last year in the brown: the Felicity dress. Polka dots are everywhere at the moment thanks to their chic timelessness and ability to add some character to any outfit, making them a great choice for all events. While most weddings call for a skirt whose length is below the knee, just like the brand's Dannie blue bubble hem bandea midi dress, £160, with many destination weddings having a number of days allocated for a wedding weekend Nobody's Child's Cream Floral Briony Bubble Hem Mini Dress, £79, and Brown Polka Dot Felicity Bubble Hem Mini Dress, £69, are stunning and lightweight options. Perfect for beachy destinations that offer a more casual dress-code. Plus, they can double up as outfits to birthday parties, hen dos and more. Read more: Victoria's Secret swimsuit is £140 cheaper than designer version Read more: Nobody's Child fans save £36 on 'playful' and 'pretty' summer dress in brand's 30% off sale Crafted with a bandeau style bodice - a flattering shape on many body types - the dress is fitted with ruched detailing across the tummy that cinches in the waist and hides any potential lumps and bumps. The dress then floats out to a fun and puffy bubble skirt that adds volume and character. Thanks to their 100% organic cotton makeup, both dresses offer a breezy and breathable choice. It makes a lovely change from more structured mini dresses, such as this Rosette Bandeau Mini Dress by Coast at Debenhams, which has 20% off and costs £111.20. With an A-line shape, a shiny silk finish and rose-detailing, it's a more formal option that could fit right in at a wedding. Shop the look £69 Nobody's Child Buy Now on Nobody's Child Product Description The brand has launched a number of new bubble hem mini dresses, including a shorter design of the viral and influencer-loved Felicity dress. Alternatively, if tulle and frills are more the vibe, ASOS' Lace & Beads bandeau structured tulle mini dress in red and pink florals is a whimsical but fun option for more formal events that can easily be dressed with with pearls and heels. With an A-line mini skirt, it would also would for any pink-themed hen dos or birthday bashes. Although it seems Nobody's Child's newest mini dress additions are 'in demand', as the website states. However thankfully, both dresses have size 4 to 18 still in stock and petite and regular lengths available. Sharing the introduction of the new Felicity style on Instagram, fans of the brand couldn't contain their excitement at this design when a picture of it was posted. Alongside the caption: "Our bestselling Felicity but make it mini," users shared glowing comments like: "It's gorgeous". Meanwhile, for the Briony dress the brand posted a story which read: "Destination wedding? Book the flight. Get the dress." Now, as is standard on the Nobody's Child website, the dresses haven't yet received any reviews, however a number of Trust Pilot comments have shared that sometimes the dress sizes can be a little off. One person shared a disappointed review that read: "I order two dresses in size 14 the Flossie midi dress woodblock and Ray midi yellow paisley: the Flossie was extremely small more like a size 10, I was unable to even button the front up it was so small in size. The Ray fitted marginally as a pass for a size 14, but was tightly cut across the breast area, would suit someone flat chested maybe but both sizes were disappointingly inaccurate size-wise." Article continues below To prevent this from happening, it's best to consult the brand's size guide to ensure the best fit is bought.
