Great fit and colour (blue). "I've even had a stranger in the street stop to compliment me. Sits beautifully by skimming curves but shaping at the waistline without pinching. Love the sleeve length too. Just the right coverage for my top of arms." However, another customer found it 'ill fitting', noting: "It's too big and low at the bust and far too long." A fellow shopper echoed this sentiment and returned the garment, explaining: "Unfortunately around the bust area there was to much material and it sat away from my body gaping and exposing my bra." Another testimonial declared: "Love it. Very flattering, perfect fit and length. It's quite heavy with the double cloth but excellent quality. I'm sure I will wear it a lot."

Next's £38 'stylish' sandals are 'comfy and don't rub at all from first wear'
Shoppers were impressed with the 'affordable' footwear that 'works with so many outfits' this season Shoppers at Next have claimed that an affordable pair of sandals is both comfortable and trendy right out of the box. Some opted for these over more expensive versions - and haven't stopped raving about the quality. Shoppers can get the Chunky Buckled Sandals in four different colours (black, bone white, metallic blue and patent red) as well as a range of sizes (3-9) all for £38. In some options (ranging from sizes 5-8), people can pick a wide fit, offering a little extra comfort compared to the standard fitting without compromising on style. On its website, a spokesperson for Next wrote: "Get ready for summer, with these holiday-friendly sandals. Featuring a strappy faux leather upper with adjustable buckle fastenings, an open toe and a smooth synthetic footbed, finished with a chunky outsole." If the size and colour that shoppers want aren't available, similar styles are available elsewhere. People might like these faux Leather Buckle Strap Sandals from New Look (reduced from £29.99 to £22.49) or these V by Very Chunky Buckle Sandals (£35). But, its the Chunky Buckled Sandals from Next which have proven popular with dozens of shoppers who shared their approval online. One said: "Lovely, comfy and look great! Most importantly, no rubbing at all!" Another added: " So comfy, soles are quite heavy but not too much, straps are really soft. The width runs slightly big." A third wrote: "So comfortable and trendy!" Someone else shared: "Lovely chunky wide fitting sandals, suit my feet perfectly." And, one more added: "They fit just right, very comfortable. No blisters yet which you can normally get with new sandals." But, not all shoppers were happy with their shoes. One claimed: " Although I love the look of these sandals, I felt as I wore them for a few hours, the straps stretched and they started slipping down and off my heel. They also squeak as I walk. I wouldn't wear them if I had to walk any distance." Another suggested they were "uncomfortable and very clunky". And, a third warned others: "They look good but the practicality of wearing them means the back strap is constantly falling off. I had them on the tightest setting and it still happened." Shoppers who are getting ready for the UK summer, or planning a holiday abroad, can find lots of deals online in Next's dedicated Holiday Shop. It includes all the essentials - from casual daytime outfits to stylish swimwear and classy evening dresses.

New Look's 'polished' £35 dress resembles 'striking' £1k Jacquemus version
The retailer could have just introduced another crowd-pleaser for shoppers looking for summer dresses New Look has introduced a denim dress that's drawing comparisons to a designer piece. The high-street favourite, regularly frequented by shoppers in search of summer outfits, may have just added another hit to its collection. The brand's Navy Stretch Denim Square Neck Bodycon Midi Dress looks similar to a style by the designer brand Jacquemus. Yet, the New Look dress is fraction of the cost. Priced at £34.99, the dress is more affordable than The de-Nîmes Spoglio denim dress, currently listed for £1,135 on Farfetch. Jacquemus has the style on offer, currently listed for £525 from £745, and Flannels has listed the dress for £599 from £745, but again, New Look's version remains the most wallet-friendly option. The two dresses share a similar aesthetic, featuring a similar denim look and form-fitting design complete with a square neckline, shoulder straps, and a slit at the back. It should be noted, however, that there are differences in length; New Look's version is a midi dress, while the designer's is a maxi dress, reports the Mirror. Moreover, New Look's dress is composed of 53% cotton, 27% polyester, 18% viscose, and 2% elastane, while the designer counterpart is made entirely of cotton. The product description for the New Look dress states: "This denim dress offers a sleek silhouette that's perfect for both casual and polished looks." The product description for the Jacquemus dress states: "Effortlessly elevate your wardrobe staples with the Spoglio Maxi Dress from Jacquemus. "Meticulously crafted in Italy from the finest raw indigo denim and embellished with traditional tobacco stitching, this striking women's maxi dress is perfect for fashion forward events, brunch with friends or a romantic dinner with a loved one." Of course, there are other options for shoppers searching for a similar style. Bershka's £35.99 Long denim dress with straps might be considered a lookalike. Elsewhere, French Connection has discounted its Textured Square Neck Midi Dress from £59 to £24, or there's ASOS's £45 chambray denim maxi dress with cinch waist seams in mid blue. Shoppers still keen on New Look's dress will likely be pleased by the reviews. One happy customer commented: "Stylish summer dress. Lovely dress, nice length and great fit due to stretch in fabric lovely for summer." A second said: "Fabulous dress - love love it!" However, the dress has only received two reviews to date, and it's worth noting that some of New Look's Trustpilot reviews are negative. One person claimed: "Not sure what is going on with New Look but quality and sizing have declined and price gone up. "I buy from both the tall and regular section. I'm telling you the tall is actually regular. I ordered 3 tall denim dresses. Nearly £30 each for the thinnest material ever certainly not denim. "All sizes totally off 18 just fit but not usual my 14 to 16. Dress barely covered my bottom." Another complained: "Picked up my order this week. Normally I'd try on in the shop but there was a queue so no bother. "The dress came sealed in a bag totally screwed up and inside out! It's a dressy dress, I'd expect it to be packed as such. I've had to spend extra time steaming out the 1,000 creases. Feels like I bought second hand. I doubt I will buy online again."
