Fashion fans are hailing Next’s maxi shirt dress as a ‘summer staple’ for its loose, drop waist fit and fun design
A striking dress that is being hailed as a ‘summer staple’ by fashion fans is being snapped up by Next shoppers in preparation for the warmer months ahead. The Short Sleeve Drop Waist 100% Cotton Maxi Shirt Dress costs £50 and comes in an array of prints to choose from.
Made from 100% cotton , the colourful dress features a midaxi length cut, a fashionable shirt style design and a flattering drop waist silhouette – although it looks great cinched in at the waist with a belt. The Short Sleeve Drop Waist 100% Cotton Maxi Shirt Dress is completed with a button-down fastening and tiered A-line skirt.
The dress also comes with pockets – a desirable detail and falls neatly to mid-shin, measuring at a 127cm length.

Machine washable, making it easy to look after, the dress comes in sizes ranging from six to 20 and lengths from regular to tall. While we love the dress’s papaya fruit print, you can also snap up the dress in a Black and Blue Spot Print, Blue Stripe and Red.
The design has received some positive feedback from shoppers, with one happy customer remarking: “It is lovely light and easy dress to wear. I look forward to getting lots of wear out it from spring to summer.”
Another happy Next fan added: “It’s easy to wear and looks good on. The quality is great and it’s well-made,” reports Birmingham Live.
A third stated: “Lovely dress, had lots of comments when I wore it last with my sambas.”
However, one less impressed shopper cited how the fit of the dress wasn’t quite up to their standard. They said: “I tried a 14 as I am a standard 14. The dress just hung off me. I appreciate this is the style but way too oversized.
“I would say a comfortable dress for a really hot day but did not look smart in me.” They added how it was also “see through”. If you love the dress, however, get it from Next here.
For those seeking an alternative, Marks & Spencer’s Frill Detail Maxi Tiered Dress for £59 could be the answer. This bohemian-inspired design comes in a regular fit with puffy long sleeves and frilled cuffs.
