The summer dress has been dubbed “very flattering” and shoppers are snapping it up in multiple colours
Next shoppers are sharing their love of a “very flattering” summer dress they say can be “dressed up or down” for any occasion. The retailer is well known for its versatile range of clothing, accessories and shoes – but one dress is sticking out to fans.
The Next 100% Cotton Twist Short Sleeved T-Shirt Summer Dress is priced at £24 and is currently available in four shades – black, khaki green, navy blue/white stripes, and plum purple. The dress comes in sizes six to 22, as well as regular and petite length.
The retailer’s product description reads: “This casual black T-Shirt dress is crafted from breathable cotton, featuring a crewneck collar, twist detail to the waist and a midi-length. Perfect as a holiday cover-up or for everyday wear.”

The Next dress has an overall rating of four stars online, having racked up a number of rave reviews. Among them, one person said: “Very flattering relaxed dress. Loose fitting. Quite thin material but great for a holiday. Day time or could be dressed up for night-time.”
A second shopper wrote: “Lovely dress and great length. Only tried it on as I’ve bought it for the summer. I like it so much I have bought the navy striped one too. Very comfortable to wear and no need for tights.”
A third added: “I only wanted the khaki version of this dress but for the price I thought why not try the black too. I’m so pleased I did. Very flattering for someone who is super conscious of my tummy area. Looks great dressed up or down and incredibly comfortable. Great length and the twist detail just gives it that little extra interest.
“I’m very pleased with both colour ways and can’t recommend these enough. So pleased I saw the review for these dresses and I just know they will get lots of wear unlike a lot of dresses that seemed like a good buy at the time, simply because they are so versatile.”
A fourth impressed buyer said: “I love the fit and it is like the description. Good comfy, smart casual dress. Can be dressed up or down.” While a fifth added: “I love this dress, it is very comfortable and looks Really nice on. I have it in three different colours. Size 14 and 5ft 5ins the length is perfect. I would definitely recommend this dress.”
Another wrote: “Great length on me, 5ft 4, comes mid calf. Very flattering around the tummy area. Normal sizing, didn’t need to size up or down.”
However, some shoppers were less impressed with the dress and shared their thoughts in the reviews. One said: “Was not a good fit or very flattering. Material was very stiff.”
A second claimed the dress was “completely see through,” while a third added: “The overall style of the dress is lovely, the twist in the centre a nice feature but the material is awful.
“Creased on taking out of the bag and I can’t imagine how you could iron it out. If a softer smother material it would have been perfect.”
