Susanna's cobalt blue version of this dress is available in a regular-fit design, with sizes ranging from a UK eight through to 20. So, fans can be rest assured that there is still quite a bit of stock left online.

They are all available in a regular design, with sizes from a UK eight to 22. This midi-length frock boasts a few standout features, mainly the "beautiful" ruffle detail along the chic V-neckline and waist. It also boasts a button-down front that opens into a front split, allowing extra movement when walking or dancing. Another star feature is the pleat detailing along the front of the dress and its floaty sleeves that finish with an elasticated cuff for a comfortable touch.

We think a pair of neutral coloured heels, alongside some muted accessories will let the classy design do all the talking.

One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these." A similar review read: "I am delighted with these trainers. I have always bought Skechers, but they are very pricey, so after reading the reviews, I thought I would give these a try. I wore them out this morning and they were really comfortable, no rubbed feet, I'm glad to say! I will definitely be ordering more in other colours, and what a great price." Fashion deal of the week Looking for a new wardrobe staple that will be comfortable all summer long? The Next's Wide Leg Trousers with linen might be up your street. In fact, they are so popular with other shoppers who say they "can't wait" to wear them when the weather heats up. Available in a selection of colours and prints, there is a pair for everyone. However, prices do range from as low as £22 to £49, but this does depend on the style that shoppers select. Ideal for balmy days, these trousers have been designed in a looser fit than usual and have been crafted from a soft material with added linen. Boasting the on-trend wide-leg design, it's no wonder shoppers are calling them "very comfortable" to wear. They also feature an elasticated waistband that won't dig into the stomach, while two practical side pockets finish the design. A hit for summer, these linen trousers can be paired with flip-flops, loose fitting tops and even swimwear when by the beach. Available in both petite and regular, they can be bought in sizes eight through to 20. Just a few options shoppers can choose from include a basic black, red and chocolate brown, while vibrant patterns of palm trees and florals are also included. Multiple colours of the Next trousers boast glowing reviews, as one reads: "Lovely flowing cut, very flattering. Can't wait to wear these when the weather is better!" A second shopper praised: "Great fit. Very flattering. Can be dressed up or down for day or night wear." Next's Wide Leg Trousers with Linen range from £22 to £49 and can be bought here. While someone else said of the shoes: "Best buy in the shoe department! Light as a feather, feels like I'm walking on air, perfect." Not all Skechers fans have been impressed, with one suggesting they were not worth the money, writing: "I bought this pair to replace my old Skecher walk on air trainer. It's a mistake. Although the shoes are light weight, they don't fit well. Just so uncomfortable." However, someone else comparing them to Skechers left a positive review that read: "I usually buy Skechers, but they are quite expensive. I wanted a lightweight, comfortable shoe that I could wear all day without my feet hurting/aching. These shoes fit that description perfectly. They are as described. I'm usually a size 6, but I ordered a 5.5. They fit just right. I'd definitely recommend buying these." here.
