Next shoppers in a frenzy over 'classic' maxi dress that is 'very slimming'
The high street firm has once again wowed shoppers with this special event dress.
Summer is the season of events. From weddings to graduation, there is always some fancy function that we have booked in our calendars.
As many fashion fans will know, that means it's time to search for a snazzy new outfit. One that has been hailed as the "perfect" choice is Cream and Black Floral Print Maxi Dress that is available from Next for £52.
Falling to a trendy maxi-length hemline, this special occasion dress has received glowing praise for its complimentary design. Cut in an A-line shape that falls to an "ultra flattering" full skirt, it isn't just chic, but is said to be "very slimming", according to shoppers.
Adding to its luxury aesthetic is the viscose-rich fabric it has been crafted from and black floral print that contrasts perfectly against the cream colourway. Finished with a back zip fastening, this wouldn't look out of place paired with strappy heels and a chic black blazer.
Even better, this A-line dress is still in stock, with sizes ranging from a UK six to 22 available to buy from the high street firm's website. Not to mention that this covers a few tall sizes as well.

Product Description
While the cream and black print is getting glowing reviews, the same £52 frock can also be purchased in a pastel yellow colour that would look perfect on holiday, alongside a chic brown.
For a suitable alternative that can be worn to any fancy events, then Coast's Floral Jacquard Fit And Flare Midi Dress, priced at £149, boasts a textured material that makes it a bit of a standout wardrobe piece.
Shoppers who'd prefer to wear something a touch plainer, then there is Monsoon's Mya Fit and Flare Midi Dress Green that is currently on offer at Debenhams for £98, down from £140.
As for Next's maxi dress, it's certainly been the subject of glowing praise, with an average 4.5 rating from fashion fans who adore its "classic" style, with others praising its design that "subtly highlights the waist."
One five-star review read: "Lovely dress I wore for a wedding. Can dress up or down, looking forward to wearing through the summer."
A second shopper simply wrote: "Very slimming and a perfect fit."
Someone else remarked: "A lovely dress smart enough to dress up with heels/wedges and jewellery-but comfortable to wear casual with flats too. Nice fit subtly highlighting waist without being tight and great length."
Fashion deal of the week
Looking to make a statement this summer? Then this is the wardrobe update you need.
Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Maxi Dress is said to be such a show-stopper, that customers say they get "stopped" and asked "where they bought it from."
While it does retail at £48, fashion fans can add this pop of colour to their summer style for less, as the clothing retailer is offering it for 10 per cent less when using the code HAPPY at the checkout, reducing the total cost to £43.20.
Falling to a floaty maxi-length hemline, it offers a "flattering" effect on the figure thanks to its fit-and-flare design, thick ruched waistline and tie-belt feature, all which will help streamline and cinch the body.
Its short sleeves, lightweight material and its multi-coloured all-over floral print design make it the ultimate breezy and "eye-catching" choice for the current hot, humid days we are experiencing.
Finished with a chic V-neckline and a wooden button detailing down the front, this colourful maxi dress is ideal for pairing with some chunky wedge sandals and maybe even a denim jacket for the unpredictable summer weather.
The £48 frock is still available to buy in sizes 10 through to 20. There's also a pink floral version that is a touch less vibrant than the fuchsia colourway in the same sizes, with the exception of a 12.
Averaging a near perfect 4.9 rating, one shopper praised: "I have this dress and wore it for the first time today. Went out to lunch and a number of people stopped me to say how nice my dress was. I can't remember the last time that happened."
A second admiring shopper wrote: "Absolutely stunning so feminine, floaty got quite a few compliments. It will be going to Greece with me this year."
The length of the dress has been mentioned as a slight drawback for some customers, as one wrote: "This is an absolutely beautiful dress the only thing wrong is the length.
"I will have to have about six inches taken off it (not all us women are 6ft tall) the material is so soft the shape is flattering and it's so stylish definitely a dress for life. I am looking forward to wearing this on my holiday. Highly recommend."
Praising the dress, another Next customer said: "Very pleased with the dress, a classic in style and colours."
