River Island took to Instagram to share a number of products worn by fashion influencer Perrie Sian. Among the options was the Brown Bow Halter Neck Midi Dress.
The post was captioned: “We can’t choose a fave. What’s your pick from @perriesian’s summer wardrobe?” The photos racked up more than 1,400 likes and many comments from excited shoppers.
Among them, one person said: “Love!!” and a second wrote: “Beaut!!” A third shopper added: “Love them. Especially the brown dress. I can’t find it though online.”
A fourth impressed shopper said: “Looks classy and stunning.” A fifth just wrote: “Love and the sandals.”
Choosing their favourite, one shopper just said: “Brown dress.” A different shopper wrote: “Love them all,” while another added: “You just look so perfect in every way.”
Other shoppers also praised the other outfit options seen in the photos. One said: “I love the shorts and top and belt, where is the belt from I can’t find it.”
A second wrote: “Love the third outfit.” Another added: “Can’t find the striped dress online.”
Some shoppers have taken to review website TrustPilot to share their thoughts on River Island, particularly when it comes to large sizing, so it might be worth keeping this in mind when ordering online. One person said: “Lovely quality but not great sizing.”
Another customer shared: “The quality of most clothes I’ve tried on are good… but the sizing is HUGE!! I recently bought some new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans and trousers and they slid down my hips and legs!
“They wouldn’t stay on my hips! The dress was huge on me too! I’ve had to return most of the order (kept the UK size 4 items).”
