Nobody's Child just restocked our fashion team's favourite polka dot midi dress
Mirror's shopping team loves Nobody's Child's polka dot midi dress for its waist-cinching silhouette and timeless style, and it's finally been restocked so you can shop it too This summer there's one dress in particular that's caught the eye of our entire shopping team here at the Mirror, and we've all been desperate to get our hands on it. The White Polka Dot Bandeau Felicity Midi Dress from Nobody's Child is the perfect pick for holidays, events and even casual days in the sun, and it proved so popular with everyone that it sold out not long after launching. However good news if you missed out on it, because it's finally back in stock in all sizes and available for £99. Although the polka dot print is perfect for nailing this summer's trends, it does also come in nine other colours and prints including gingham, red and both a brown and black version with white polka dots. Mirror's fashion and beauty director Michelle Darlow said: 'This dress was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It's easy to dress up for weddings or parties, but it works just as well with a chunky sandal and a cardigan for a more low key look. It also has pockets! I'm typically a size 10/12 but went for the 10 as I have small boobs and it fitted well on top and was so comfortable and easy to wear all day.' The silhouette of the Felicity Midi Dress is what makes it so flattering and special, with a fitted bandeau bodice and a midi skirt that flares out at the hips. If the thought of a strapless design doesn't do it for you, don't worry; it also comes with attachable spaghetti straps. That means you can add some extra support whenever you want it, or quickly whip them off if you want to avoid any tan lines or change up the neckline. The concealed zip fastening keeps it looking sleek and streamlined, and it's designed to be semi-fitted so it's still comfortable and moveable whilst flattering your figure. If you prefer a different neckline, the Anaya Polka Dot Halter Neck Maxi Dress from ASOS is a great alternative. Slightly cheaper at £85, it has a halter neckline with an adjustable tie fastening, letting you create the perfect fit and support. We also spotted a great alternative at Abercrombie & Fitch, with the Strapless Drop-Waist Maxi Dress currently on sale down from £90 to £74.99. It also features removable spaghetti straps, a boned fitted bodice and a flowing maxi skirt with a dropped waist for a flattering fit. For something a little more casual, the ONLY Stone Polka Dot Bandeau Maxi Dress at Next is perfect. It has a shirred bodice and flowy maxi-length skirt that's perfect for holidays and days at the beach. It's available in sizes XS to XL, with prices ranging between £40 and £44 depending on the size. Nobody's Child does recommend sizing down from your usual size in the Felicity Midi Dress, but if you have a bigger bust or prefer some more movement you could always stick to your regular size. It's also made from 100% organic cotton, which keeps it breathable and lightweight to wear during the summer. You can easily style it with some barely there heels and a raffia clutch, or swap for a pair of regular sandals for a more laidback summer vibe. You could also make it office appropriate with some loafers and a blazer, or create a more laidback look with trainers and a bomber jacket.

River Island's new influencer-loved summer dress is so popular it is 'selling fast'
Fashion fans on TikTok are "obsessed" with the vibrant maxi dress. Jetting off somewhere tropical this summer? Then chances are that a shopping spree for some vibrant, loose-fitting clothes is on the cards. One high street firm that has been impressing fashion fans this season has been River Island, with its latest capsule collection in collaboration with Atlas Art founder Adrianne Dimitrakakis going viral. While multiple items in the limited-edition line are "trending" online, one that seems to have been singled out by influencers is the Blue Atlas Printed Maxi Dress - and it's already "selling fast." The £56 summer frock boasts a vibrant travel-inspired print that reinterprets one of Dimitrakakis' own hand-drawn artworks, all which are famed for their remote island, overlooked coastal caves and Mediterranean store fronts. This print will add a statement piece to your wardrobe, as it boasts palm trees, suns, slogans and more against a multicoloured canvas of pinks, greens, yellows and blues. River Island Blue Atlas Printed Maxi Dress Product Description Falling to a practical maxi-length hemline, the Atlas Printed Dress features a chic square neckline and hangs from two chunky straps. Paired with sandals and sunglasses, it can easily be worn by the pool, to the beach and out for dinner when on vacation. It's worth noting that River Island is not the only retailer to go wild for tropical-inspired prints this summer, as we have also spotted Nobody's Child's Cream Printed Cassidy Midi Dress with a bold, vintage pattern for £89. Alternatively, New Look offers a very similar alternative with its Blue Vanilla Multicoloured Fruit Print Midi Dress that is a little more affordable at £35. However, those taken with the River Island x Atlas dress wouldn't be alone, as travel influencer @travelswithdarcie singled it out of the entire collection in a recent TikTok video that was captioned: "Atlas x River Island Collection is GIVING for summer holiday outfits." Viewers of the clip were quick to agree, as one rushed to say: "The dress omg I'm obsessed!!!" A second viewer taken with the frock added: "Love this dress it's fab." While a third added: "Aw the dress is so pretty! love the colours." Meanwhile, River Island also mentioned the dress in a dedicated TikTok video calling it "the perfect summer dress." Since the River Island website does not provide official reviews, there doesn't seem to be any negative critique at the moment. However, on Trustpilot, River Island has a 3.6 rating, with 50 per cent of reviews being one star. Right now, the dress is still available to buy in sizes XS to XL, although, it is "trending" and "selling fast", so it may run out of stock soon. Purchase the Blue Atlas Printed Maxi dress for £56 on the River Island website here. The entire 43-piece strong collection can also be shopped online here.

I ordered the 'perfect' Roman maxi dress and it completely hides my tummy
A floral maxi dress that hangs beautifully never goes out of style. With a summer holiday coming up, I began the annual search to find the perfect one to hide my middle-aged lumps and bumps. Being a little more on the larger side than I'd like to be, finding a dress that can cover my flabby arms, hide my burgeoning 'meno-belly' and still makes me feel stylish and sleek is like finding a needle in a haystack. Imagine my delight then, when a recent online order from Roman fit the brief spectacularly. The Black Floral Print Border Maxi Dress is what I would call 'an absolute stunner'. Currently on sale for £45, Roman is offering 10% off all new seasons using cood COOL10 - taking the price down to £40.50. READ MORE: Boots shoppers praise 'fabulous' beauty box that saves £130 on No7 and Sol de Janeiro READ MORE: Shopper loses '16 pounds in two weeks' using 'engaging' at-home workout app Pretty as a picture, the dress is made from breathable, lightweight cotton which will hopefully help to keep the hot flushes at bay. Designed to flatter, it has a gently plunging V-neckline and 3/4 sleeves to add a little coverage on cooler days. A beautifully intricate border floral print adds a dash of visual interest, and I'm a sucker for monochrome clothing with a shock of red as it's a good excuse to break out my favourite red lipstick. Easy to dress up or down, I'll be pairing it with a denim jacket and chunky sandals for an chic daytime look. (Image: Roman) With a relaxed smock shape its just the right length on me, although being fairly tall at 5'9 - it might be a little too long for shorter ladies. The longer length and flattering shape hides a multitude of sins without looking like a muumuu. I'll be keeping the Roman dress for sure, but other contenders for flattering holiday dresses include the Floral Pleated Mesh Print V-Neck Occasion Midi Dress from Next. A touch more expensive at £56, the mesh design is very pretty and the gathered waist look comfortable. In another sale, Boden has reductions of up to 40%, featuring a selection of floral dresses that are blossoming with discounts. The Bella Puff Sleeve Maxi Dress, for example, is a tempting choice reduced from £135 to £54, in a range of colourful designs that buyers have called 'beautiful'. Roman shoppers that love the floral print maxi dress as much as I do have left plenty of positive reviews. One stylish shopper said: "This dress is beautiful on. Lots of compliments. I'm 5ft 8inches. It was a perfect length. So comfortable too." Another added: "Fabulous dress. Lightweight cotton means that the tiers of the dress float beautifully. The bodice fits perfectly, giving a flattering slim silhouette and the sleeves are a lovely bell shape at a perfect length." A third was equally as impressed, adding: "This is a lovely dress fit is true to size . The dress flows around when you walk a great dress to wear for that summers day party . The fabric is good quality overall l am very pleased with this dress ." Some buyers were concerned about the length though. One reviewer said: "A bit long, a petite length would have been good, but lovely dress." Overall, the dress has received a 4.8 out of five-star rating with Roman shoppers, and honestly, I'd absolutely give it five stars too. The 10% discount is available on new season items including dresses, skirts, tops and more.
