The linen shift dress has a loose fit, ideal for wearing during heatwaves and holidays
Next has been steadily releasing new holiday pieces over the last few months, with plenty of linen items for shoppers. The lightweight material is airy and breathable for heatwaves and holidays abroad.
One such noteworthy release is a cream and green Mini Shift Dress With Linen priced at £38. The sleeveless frock has a palm-print design and a high, scoop neckline.
The floaty dress is also available in a variety of sizes, between 6-22. Although it’s worth pointing out that one of the most popular sizes, an eight, is currently out of stock.

The Mini Shift Dress With Linen is also on offer in a range of other colours, including black, blue and several cream and ecru hues with varying prints.
The above-the-knee-length frock has garnered more than 250 customer reviews. One shopper wrote: “I saw this advertised on a local news site and immediately ordered it into my closest store.
It’s absolutely gorgeous, and it has pockets.” Another customer liked the design but had issues with the fit.
They said: “Again, lovely dress, but something went gone wrong with the gaping armholes. Tried a couple of sizes and found (the) same problem.”

Shoppers concerned about this issue may want to opt for a dress with short sleeves to avoid it. For instance, this Stone Check Starlight Midi Dress (on sale for £49, down from £95) has short puff sleeves and cinches in at the waistline (sizes 4-16 available).
Returning to Next’s Mini Shift Dress With Linen, an additional customer bought the black hue, writing: “I love this dress. It looks chic and expensive.
“Can be dressed up or down and material is lovely. Ideal for holidays or going out for a meal.” Another person said: “Beautiful dress, very classy looking.
“I was expecting it to be lined. Not a problem, though, I ordered the cream and brown dress. A Timeless piece in my opinion. Great quality.”
For mini summer dress options, New Look has a newly released floral frock with cap sleeves and a bow-tie detail underneath the bust. The £25.99 dress is offered in cream or blue colourways. Sizes 6-22 available.
