Lightweight and cut in a flattering halterneck silhouette, it’s complete with pockets, a low neckline and key-hole detailing on the back. Style with sandals or trainers to complete the look.”
Earning a range of glowing reviews, the dress is a hit among buyers. One person said: “This dress is beautiful and just perfect for summer. It’s well made and fits perfectly. It washes great will minimal creasing, which I was delighted about. It can be used as a day dress or with some pretty sandals and jewellery it’s great for a night out.”
A second wrote: “Very flattering fit; generous fit – I’m a size 14/16 and the 14 was perfect for me. I’m 5ft 7” so length was perfect, just above ankles. Love the red colour. Material isn’t overly creasy and looks like it will be cool and comfortable to wear in heat so am looking forward to wearing it on holiday.”
However, some shoppers did find issues with the dress. One person said: “Great colour and love the shape – but massive! I know it’s supposed to be flowing – but it was more like drowning. Like the dress, but sizing seems to be completely erratic with Next this year!”
Another shopper who had issues with the sizing wrote: “Lovely dress for summer. I wanted a proper maxi length. I’m 5ft 7in. I originally ordered the regular length, but it was a bit too short. So, then ordered the long length. It was a touch too long. However, as I loved it so much, I kept it and had it taken up.”
Despite this, many shoppers continued to praise the dress, with one writing: “Lovely shade of red. Quite long so will need heels. Attractive halter neck. Not worn yet but looks lovely on.”
A second wrote: “Lovely summer dress you can dress up or down.” A third added: “Love this dress have the back in it too. Perfect length and fit so it falls beautifully and it has pockets!!!!
