High-street fashion giant Next is offering a 'comfy' dress that customers say is 'definitely worth the money' and pairs well with 'so many things'. Several shoppers have left glowing comments for the £17.50 garment, commending it for its comfort, quality, and adaptability.
The dress is Next's Ribbed T-shirt Style Column Maxi Dress With Slit Detail. Next advises that it fits slightly smaller than usual and describes the creation as "a timeless warm weather staple". The label adds: "Our ribbed T-shirt style maxi dress is understated, yet elegant. Designed in a ribbed cotton stretch fabric with a T-shirt silhouette and slit detail to the hem."
This Ribbed T-shirt Style Column Maxi Dress is easy to care for in the washing machine and is made of 57% cotton, 38% polyester, and 5% elastane. Sizes range from an extra small all the way to a double extra large.
Available in regular and petite fits, it comes in five colours: black, black and white stripes, bright pink, khaki green, and sky blue. Each colourway is priced at £16, except the highly sought-after black and white striped version, which retails at £17.50, reports Plymouth Live.
