Vicky Pattison's £35 summer dress 'perfect' with heels or trainers
The maxi dress is available in Matalan and shoppers have called it 'perfect' for special occasions and everyday summer outings Matalan customers are 'in love' with a three-quarter-length sleeve maxi dress designed by TV personality Vicky Pattison. Some have claimed that it is "perfect" for both special events and daily wear. The 'bold and colourful' Little Mistress Red Floral Maxi Shirt Dress is adorned with a 'beautiful' red, pink and white floral pattern. The garment, which is being sold at Matalan for £35, boasts striking pink and red colours, with a turn-down collar and relaxed sleeves. It finishes just above the ankles, which shoppers say is ideal for formal occasions and work. Described by Matalan as an item that "effortlessly blends sophistication and comfort", the maxi dress was showcased on the website by Vicky herself. She dressed it up with a pair of red heels that looked like the £24 Red Suede Skye Strappy Block Heels from Where's That From. 24 unique pieces, including jumpsuits, blouses, and skirts, with prices starting at just £18. Shoppers who like this dress can also get the exact same pattern on a £24 Chiffon Shirt. For those considering similar options from different retailers, Next offers a Floral Print Shirt Maxi Dress by Girl In Mind for £55. And, ASOS has a Maxi Shirt Dress in Mono Floral Print available for £65, reports the Mirror. The Matalan dress has shoppers "obsessed", with plenty of positive reviews. One said: "Beautiful dress that is true to size. Great for an occasion or a summer evening out." Another wrote: "Fab dress. Cool cotton fabric [that is] great for a heat wave!" They added: "I've worn it for a girls' day out. I am now wearing it to work. I've had lots of lovely compliments." A third customer commented: "Great dress. I bought it to go to a wedding so I can dress up with a fascinator, but can also dress down with a denim jacket and trainers. For the money, it's great and versatile." Someone else posted: "This is a gorgeous dress I ordered for my daughter's 21st party. The colours are so bright. There are buttons at the top and a pull tie at the waist. I did have to downsize. The material is nice." However, some shoppers felt that the dress was "frumpy" and "unflattering" due to its fit. Another customer shared her experience: "Shame that it's too long. Spent the day fearing I'd get stuck in the escalators!" Despite this, many customers praised the dress. One shopper said: "Bought this for a UK break thinking it would go with Converse or sandals - I was correct!" Another added: "I love this dress so much, great with trainers or sandals. It is going to be a favourite for spring and summer for me."

Millie Mackintosh's £60 Chelsea Flower Show dress is perfect for summer events
Millie Mackintosh wore a floral maxi dress from her Friends Like These collection with Next, and it's the perfect occasionwear dress that'll see you through all your summer events When she attended last week's Chelsea Flower Show, Millie Mackintosh not only nailed the floral theme in her maxi dress, but she also gave us some instant inspo on how to dress for summer occasions, too. The former Made in Chelsea star wore the Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress from her Friends Like These collection, and it was everything we were looking for when it came to even dressing. The dress is available at Next for £59 and is part of Millie's latest spring/summer collection with the brand, and was designed to be the perfect elevated evening or occasion look. It's currently available in all sizes from 8 to 22, although the 8 is currently sold out. The maxi dress features a flattering V-neckline and has frill detailing along the neckline as well as along the underbust seam. This combined with the tie bow in the centre and fluttering short sleeves also give it a breezy, romantic feel. It's made from lightweight chiffon which makes it comfortable to wear and perfect for warmer weather, and gives it a floaty look that nails this season's boho trend. The two-tiered hemline also adds a little volume and drama that makes it more evening appropriate. Although the colourful floral print makes it perfect for the summer, if you've got a wedding coming up and think it might be too predominantly white to wear, we've found some other great high street options to shop, too. This ASOS DESIGN Petite Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress With Ruffle Godets in Pink Floral Print is £70 and has a similar silhouette to Milly's gorgeous dress. It has short flutter sleeves that help cover your upper arms and a sweetheart neckline, and is more fitted in the bodice than Milly's flowing maxi dress. However the skirt features vertical ruffle details that give it plenty of movement and flow, whilst the pink floral print makes sure you don't end up wearing too much white to a wedding. Meanwhile River Island's limited edition Blue Floral Ruffle Slip Maxi Dress is £85 and features a bold blue background with an oversized white floral print that's perfect for making an impact. It has asymmetrical straps and a simple ruffle detail on the shoulder, whilst the dress itself has a classic bias cut slip style that's flattering and chic. However if you want to copy Millie's style, you can snap up her Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress in sizes 10 to 22 for £59 at Next now.

Susanna Reid's award-winning red midi dress is now on sale with £60 off
Susanne Reid wore a flattering fitted red midi dress to accept her recent award win, and it's currently on sale at LK Bennett with a huge £60 off Fans have been congratulating Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid after she scooped the Outstanding Achievement Award from MHP 30 To Watch last night. As well as thanking her GMB team, Susanna also shared the details of her outfit with fans on Instagram, which included a stunning fitted red midi dress that flattered her figure. Unlike other awards shows which require sweeping gowns only fit for a red carpet, the MHP awards ceremony had a much more wearable dress code that we can all get on board with. For the event Susanna wore LK Bennett's Altyn Shaped Seam Fitted Crepe Dress, which was just the right balance of formal and easy to wear. Susanna's LK Bennett dress is usually priced at £299, but it's currently on sale with £60 off, slashing the price to £239. Although she opted for the bold red shade, the Altyn Fitted Crepe Dress also comes in black, making it the perfect little black dress. Although it was ideal for the formal awards setting, Susanna's midi dress could just as easily be worn for the office with a pair of heels or loafers and a blazer, or as an understated and elegant outfit for parties and events. The square neckline, long sleeves and midi length keep it modest and work appropriate, so you can easily take it from meetings to dinner without needing to change. Despite its hefty discount the dress is currently still available in all sizes from a 6 to a 20, with only the size 4 currently out of stock. It's made from a recycled stretch crepe that makes it form fitting and figure flattering, and fastens with a hidden back zip. If you're looking for something similar that feels a little more events-ready, the Vesper Bengaline Fishtail Midi Dress is £62 at ASOS and has a similar form-flattering fit and bold red colour, with a square neckline. However the Vesper dress is sleeveless with wide straps, rather than long sleeved, and has a fishtail hemline that adds a little drama and movement. Meanwhile at Debenhams you can get the Orange Square Neck Long Sleeve Ruched Bodycon Mesh Midi Dress for a more affordable £50, although it's only stocked in sizes 8 to 16. It has ruched detailing that accentuates your curves, a square neckline and long sleeves with a similar fitted silhouette. Those on a tight budget should also check out Joe Browns' Make A Statement Stretch Red Dress, which is on sale down from £55 to £35. Coming in a similar bold red shade to Susanna's dress, it has a stretchy bodycon fit and midi hemline, with an asymmetric neckline and long sleeves. However if you want to snap up Susanna's exact look, you can save £60 on the Altyn Fitted Crepe Dress at LK Bennett now.

But some found the neckline too low, with one customer saying: "Love the fabric, nice quality, excellent weight, love the cut, very cute and flattering, absolutely too low cut in the chest area, can't wear anything this revealing without a shirt or tank top underneath." Alternatively, we found the Full Of Sunshine Cotton-Linen Mini for £60 at Free People, which is the ideal floaty number for the warmer months. Likewise, at Next, we found the Mono Placement Floral Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress for £34, and the chic dress is perfect for balmy days. Boden also has a covetable edit of light denim.
