River Island's 'trending' summer dress that will 'look stunning with a tan'
Instagram users cannot stop raving over the retailer's £69 dress that is proving popular online.
One high street retailer that has been impressing us with its summer collection is River Island. In fact, one of its latest additions is so popular it is "selling fast."
With summer around the corner, a few of us might have invites to fancy occasions such as weddings. One frock that will compliment your golden glow is this Red Sleeveless Ruffle Mini Dress.
Retailing at £64, this "stunning" dress has been the subject of glowing praise from fashion fans after the retailer shared a reel of one of its stylists, known as Islander's, styling it on Instagram.
In fact, it has become so popular that the high street fashion firm's website has described it as "trending", meaning it is fast being snapped up, so we don't expect it to be around for long.
The fancy red frock falls to a trendy mini-length hemline and features an all-over ruffle design that gives it a feminine and fun touch. Boasting a sleeveless design, it is finished with the classic zip fastening and stylish crew neckline.
River Island: Red Sleeveless Ruffle Mini Dress
Product Description
Also available in a chic black colourway, this ruffle mini dress is still available in sizes UK six through to 18, with the only exception being a size 14 that has sold out in both colours.
Sure to be a standout wardrobe item this summer, we'd advise dressing up this £69 frock with your favourite heels and accessories, with the River Island stylist pairing it with the firm's bold £30 Red Heart Beaded Bag that has also been receiving attention.
For fashion fans who'd prefer to add a bold print to their wardrobe, then we have spotted this Blue Floral Print Ruffle Trim Midi Dress for £45.99 at New Look.
Shopper who'd maybe be more keen on a maxi design might be keen on checking out this Ruffle Low Back Maxi Dress that has been reduced at Debenhams from £50 to £35, saving 30 percent off the RRP.
However, if the "trending" status for the Red Sleeveless Ruffle Mini Dress was not enough to highlight how popular River Island's frock is, then it's worth knowing that shoppers can't stop gushing over it after the firm shared it on social media.
The Instagram post read: "We're seeing red. The red ruffle mini dress as seen on RI Islander Connie."
One fashion fan responded: "Wow looks beautiful."

A second shopper said of the dress: "Be stunning with a tan for the wedding."
While someone else added: "So cute."
Since the River Island website does not offer official reviews, there doesn't seem to be any negative feedback. However, some shoppers have indicated that the design is something they would have worn years ago, with one writing: "I had this dress in 2005 with a big chunky necklace to top it off."
