This €63 River Island dress is the wedding guest look of the summer
With wedding season just around the corner, people across Ireland are gearing up for a summer of celebrations - and that means outfit planning is in full swing.
Now is the ideal time to start shopping for occasionwear, and one of the best places to look is River Island. Known for its on-trend, catwalk-inspired styles at wallet-friendly prices, the fashion favourite has just dropped a dress that's quickly becoming the must-have look for summer weddings.
The Green Bandage Sleeveless Bardot Midi Dress - a sophisticated showstopper that looks far more luxurious than its price tag - is available for €63 in regular and €67 in petite.
The dress features a sleek asymmetric Bardot neckline, a figure-hugging sleeveless design and a flattering midi length - ideal for making a statement at any special occasion.
Already sold out in several sizes, the dress has gone viral thanks to multiple features on River Island's social media channels, where it's been modelled by influencer Meagan Wells, who boasts more than 563,000 followers on Instagram.
In one post, River Island declared: "The bandage dress is back, modelled by MEAGAN WELLS." In another, they asked fans: "We can't choose a fave. Which of @_meaganwells summer evening looks would you put in your suitcase?"
And judging by the comments, this green dress is the clear favourite. Followers flooded the posts with love for the look.
Many were instantly drawn to the striking green shade, calling it "such a gorgeous shade of green", "that's definitely my colour" and "Yeeesss! That colour." Several simply labelled it "gorgeous", "stunning" or "everything", while one fan gushed: "Wowww".
Others were quick to declare their need for the look, with comments like "Pleaseeee can you share the link for the dress? I need it!" and "Can you send a link to buy the green dress" appearing several times under River Island's posts.
The dress's popularity even prompted one person to comment: "My wardrobe is currently shaping up to be all your recommendations".
While most of the feedback has been glowing, one comment hinted at skepticism about the dress's fit, with a user asking: "Are you wearing shapewear underneath? I would love to know as you can't tell". Still, those who already own the dress had no such reservations, with one declaring: "I've got this dress - isn't it absolutely amazing?" and another adding: "@riverisland is totally doing it for us this season!"
Even those without an event lined up were tempted, with one commenter admitting: "Stunning - I just have zero occasion to wear it".
