"Lovely dress, fits nice, twist detail on front of dress is very flattering, great length, can easily be dressed up or down, so good ordered it in another colour," she stated. Tracy echoed her enthusiasm, saying: "Love these T-shirt dresses, I have bought at least five, great quality. Wash well." Another customer added: "Great little dress for the summer with a pair of trainers, I ended up going up a size just for a better fit."

However, others commended the dress's adaptability: "Very pretty dress and you can keep it casual or dress up, looks very flattering on." Alison's review stated: "Great price Loose fit perfect for everyday use and can be dressed up or down." Alexandra shared her perspective: "A simple dress to throw on, can also be worn with leggings when it's cooler." Melanie voiced her affection for the dress: "Love this dress. So much so, I bought other colours too." On the other hand, Nicola reported a different experience: "I just didn't like the colour on me so returned it." A few customers praised the dress' s comfort and simplicity, recommending it as a great option for casual wear. Some reviewers noted that the dress runs a bit large, suggesting sizing down for a more fitted look. The high street retailer also has a similar style with the Black Twist Short Sleeved T-shirt Summer Dress, which costs £24. Overall, the feedback on the dress has been overwhelmingly positive, with many customers appreciating its versatility and value for money. Sandra offered a glowing review: "It looked as good as the picture, quality material, well made. It fits and looks lovely on me. I took it on holiday and had compliments. Plus, the price was excellent. Might buy another!". In contrast, an unnamed customer remarked: "Would have liked it 2 inches shorter, but kept it because of the quality." Next's Khaki Green 100% Cotton T-shirt Dress retails at £14, with other colours and patterns available at varying price points.

The events across Scotland you need to know about this June
GARDEN OF DELIGHTS Even those who recoil at the thought of weeding and dragging out the mower on a weekly basis can be inspired by the latest major exhibition at V&A Dundee. Garden Futures: Designing with Nature won't exactly provide inspiration for your next remodel but it will open your eyes to the possibilities of what an outdoor space can be. As well as looking at how garden design has developed around the world, often in the most unexpected places, it examines how important having an outside space is to us. This is Scotland's design museum and some of the ideas will be challenging – but looking at the future of gardens goes hand in hand with looking at a greener, more environmentally friendly future. There are examples of innovative garden design from around the globe and work by international designers and landscape architects. (Image: Howard Sooley) Artists have always been inspired by nature and the outdoors and Garden Futures also showcases visual art inspired by our green spaces. The exhibition also pays tribute to community garden projects across Scotland, from the Maxwell Community Garden, part of the Grow Dundee food growing and community garden network, and Oban's Seaweed Gardens. From William Morris to Derek Jarman, there are names with their own individual take on what a garden is and what it can be. There are also ceramics, fashion, painting, textiles, sculpture, interior design, drawings and photographs. Until January 25, 2026 ALL THAT JAZZ June is great month for jazzers. Not only do the hepcats roll into Glasgow, they also head south to Kirkcudbright. From June 18 to 22, Glasgow welcomes its jazz festival, from Santana at the OVO Hydro to the Colin Steele Quartet playing The Blue Nile (extra show added due to demand) to Marianne McGregor and favourite Brian Kellock. Kirkcudbright Jazz Festival is the place to be if New Orleans, Dixieland and Swing jazz is your favourite jam. Kirkcudbright: June 12–15. Glasgow: June 18–22 (Image: Nan Shephard) NAN SHEPHERD: NAKED AND UNASHAMED Whether you recognise Nan Shepherd from a Scottish £5 banknote or not, her story is unmissable and told in a play running at Pitlochry Festival Theatre's Studio until June 14. The Scottish naturalist was also a poet and writer and had an extraordinary life. She is responsible for the classic text The Living Mountain. But it almost stayed undiscovered – lying in a drawer for more than three decades. Writers Richard Baron and Ellie Zeegen bring all of that to life. Running until June 14 PORTRAIT: INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION This fascinating six-week long exhibition focusing on portraiture, currently running at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, ends on June 20. The High Street gallery offers some surprising takes on a familiar style and the good news is that the gallery offers all of this for free entry. Until June 20 HIDDEN DOOR FESTIVAL The Hidden Door Festival has spent the past 15 years championing new music, theatre, dance and art. It has also found increasingly interesting locations. It's a charity, fully run by volunteers, with everything funded through ticket sales. This year the site is a former industrial site. It's a huge former paper and cardboard box factory, spread over 15 acres and with warehouses, factory floors, offices and outhouses. Since Saica's relocation to Livingston, proposals are being developed for the site but Hidden Door has access right until the end of 2025. June 11–15 WESTFEST Valiantly flying the flag for real community-led events, Westfest Dundee has made a fabulous success from a one-day event, Westfest Sunday, which keeps the concept simple and local. It takes place on Magdalen Green, within site of the Tay and the rail bridge and centres around the Victorian bandstand. A music programme that always includes local schools and keeps the crowds dancing, it's a properly child-friendly event and gives local businesses and charities a high profile for the day. Westfest Dundee – Sunday, June 1 NEIGHBOURHOOD VARIETY SHOW – SAUCHIEHALL STREET The Neighbourhood Variety Show is a performance project, part of the National Theatre of Scotland's Project in North Glasgow. Essentially, the aim of the project is to take a closer look at how artists can collaborate with and enrich their neighbourhood – and it offers a range of artists willing to perform. The Neighbourhood Variety Show: Sauchiehall Street is created by Eoin McKenzie. The first show from the project was in Springburn last year, and the next show takes place on June 5 in association with The Garage. NTS and McKenzie are working in association with Sauchiehall Street: Culture and Heritage District, a 10-year plan to renew the famous street. The Garage. Thursday, June 5. (Image: Betty Boo) BETTY BOO Without doubt one of the most interesting and talented popsters of the late 80s and early 90s is heading out as her alter ego after Alison Moira Clarkson has spent so many years penning major pop hits for other artists. With the rerelease of her acclaimed and popular albums Boomania and GRRR! It's Betty Boo, the shows are sure to be eneregetic and 'pretty pop-tastic'. There will also be bigger shows later in the year but this is your chance to see her in more intimate settings. Glasgow: Wednesday, June 25, Hug & Pint Edinburgh: Thursday June 26 Voodoo Rooms
