New Look's 'non-iron' midi dress is a 'wardrobe essential' for under £30
This effortless midi dress is so popular it has already sold out in three colours online.
Having a wardrobe item that can be worn time and time again is a must. It's even better if it's a fuss-free option with little maintenance.
Which is exactly why many fashion enthusiasts have been flocking to New Look for the Flutter Sleeve Button Front Midi Dress that retails for under £30.
Already sold out in a few colours online, this £29.99 frock falls to a trendy midi-length hemline, with the floaty material boasting a slightly 'crinkle-style' effect that means it won't need ironed and can easily be popped into a suitcase.
Also featuring short, fluttery sleeves that add a romantic touch, relaxed design, side slits, V-neckline and a button-down front, New Look's dress is ideal for effortless styling.
It's also pretty versatile, as it can be paired with a pair of sandals or chunky trainers during the day, or even some chic stilettos when out during the evening.
As of writing, New Look's frock is still available to buy in six to 22, but only four out of seven colours are left in stock - burgundy, camel, green and khaki.
Another easy-to-wear design that fashion fans can also check out on the high street is M&S' Pure Cotton Round Neck Midi T-Shirt Dress, available in three colours for an affordable £25.
For those who would prefer a printed design, then we have spotted this Green Ditsy Floral Dee Dee Midi Dress from Nobody's Child for under £50.
However, New Look shoppers can't stop heaping praise on the flutter sleeve midi dress that has been awarded a 4.7 rating from reviewers, who say it is a "wardrobe essential" and "perfect" for summer.
One delighted customer wrote: "Lovely black dress, nice fabric, true to size, good length and I'm 175cm. Could be dressed up or dressed down.
"A wardrobe essential. Wanted it in blue as well but it was OOS!"
Someone else praised: "The perfect summer dress! Very light material, doesn't show sweat! Slightly crinkle material so ironing is not essential, for the suitcase. Real buttons."
