The dress has already sold out in a couple of sizes after shoppers shared their love for it online.
Next shoppers have found a summer dress they’re eager to add to their wardrobe in multiple colours. The high street store has claimed this versatile piece as perfect for both glam evenings out, like sipping cocktails by the sea on holiday, or casual daytime outings such as park picnics.
Available online for £38, the Jersey Waisted Summer Dress is available in a variety of colours including cream, navy, chocolate brown and olive green. It caters to a wide range of sizes from 6 to 22, with petite fitting also an option.
Next bosses describe this lightweight dress as “ideal for summer”, claiming it could be styled for “beachside cocktails or picnics in the park”. It was further highlightes by the chain as having a “versatile and timeless” design, featuring a “flattering” neckline, waist detailing and handy side pockets.

For those looking to expand their summer wardrobe, there are plenty of similar dresses on the market, such as Uniqlo’s Crepe Jersey Bra Camisole Dress, made from a similar stretchy fabric and priced at £34.90. New Look also offers its Jersey Tiered Skirt Midi Smock Dress for a bargain £19.99.
However, it seems many fans have been won over by the Next dress. The brand suggests it can be easily “dressed up with sandals and heels or down with your favourite trainers” depending on the occasion, reports Belfast Live.
Shoppers certainly seemed to agree, judging by the glowing reviews. One customer said: “Gorgeous fit and style with quality fabric and a silky, cotton texture. It’s not see-through and has pockets. I love this dress so much, I’ve bought it in the two other colours too.”
Another added: “Lovely dress and so comfortable to wear.” A third wrote: “Looks so simple but looks and fits amazingly.”
Someone else shared: “Excellent product, fits well. The material is soft and washes and irons easily. I have bought both navy and cream. I wish they did more colours.”
The retailer was upfront with a disclaimer on their site letting shoppers know that “this product has a smaller fit than usual”. This could account for some feedback which reported a need to size up for extra comfort.
There was a bit of extra criticism from one reviewer who claimed: “The material was completely see-through and the top was very tight. Item was returned.”
However, the positive feedback was overwhelming. A fifth buyer who rated the item as five stars said: “A flattering fit, high waistline, smooth fabric feel, and so easy to wear in warmer nights yet also cooler evenings due to the length. Perfect paired with flats or a wedge.”
