Next has dropped the perfect summer holiday dress that looks like Dolce & Gabbana’s £2k printed midi dress, and it’s so ‘comfy and flattering’ shoppers are buying it in all colours
Between upcoming summer holidays and the current heatwave we’re all experiencing, there’s never been a better time to pick up the perfect summer dress – and we’ve spotted one that is a guaranteed winner over at Next. The Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress is a bargain at £28, and thanks to its gorgeous colourful print and flattering design, it’s the perfect pick for the summer season.
It also reminds us of Dolce & Gabana’s Printed Cotton Midi Dress, which retails for a staggering £2050 and has a very similar colourful ‘La Dolce Vita’ type of print. Although the silhouettes of the two dresses are different, the whimsical pattern and bright colours both scream summer holiday, and with the Next dress costing just 1% of the designer D&G one it’s no wonder it’s been such a hit with shoppers.

Reviews of the Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress have been overwhelmingly positive, with one saying: “Perfect sizing. Easy to wear and looks fab even though I am a 16. Washes well. Great price.”
Another agreed: “Gorgeous dress for holidays comfy to wear and very flattering i bought 3 all different patterns love them all easily dressed up for evening I must add they are on the smallest size so I would size up.”
Some also found an issue with sizing, with one writing: “Too small, even when I sized up.”
However plenty more shoppers loved it, saying: “Lovely summer dress for my forthcoming holiday. The material is soft and skims over my body and the colours are gorgeous.”
Another shopper commented: “This is a lovely dress… although I wanted to wear it in the day with my swimwear I think I would want to dress it up for night too.”
The Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress is available in sizes 6 to 26 in petite and regular lengths, and you can also pick from sizes 10 to 20 in a tall fit. It has a flattering midi-length hemline, with adjustable shoulder straps that let you get the perfect fit.
The figure-skimming slip-style silhouette is also perfect for staying breezy and comfortable on holiday, without feeling like anything is clinging to your body which we all hate when it’s hot. A side slit also helps it flow as you walk to make sure you’re comfortable wearing it all day.
If you love the print but would prefer a different silhouette, we spotted some fantastic alternatives elsewhere too. Nobody’s Child’s Cream Printed Cassidy Midi Dress features ruffle details across the chest and on the straps, with a square neckline, fitted bodice and flowing midi skirt that flatters your figure. It’s a little pricier at £89, but is made from a lightweight 100% organic cotton which is breathable and sweat wicking, making it ideal for those rising temperatures.
We also spotted this more affordable White Fruit Print Scalloped Strap Midi Dress for £37.99 at New Look, which is fitted across the bust and flows out in an empire silhouette. The wide scalloped straps give it a playful touch, whilst the bold colourful fruit print keeps it perfect for summer.
However if you want to pick up the Pink/Orange Midi Slip Summer Dress, you can get it for £28 at Next in all sizes now.
