Next's Polka Dot Square Neck Cami Midi Dress, priced at £44, is predicted to be the viral must-have dress of the summer. Shoppers are racing to snap it up before it sells out, with sizes already disappearing. The retailer assures restocks within days.
Versatile Design for Every Occasion
The dress is designed for versatility, suitable for everything from picnics in the park to race days. It can be dressed down with trainers and a bomber jacket for everyday wear, or paired with sandals for a chic holiday look. For formal events like graduations or christenings, a fascinator and heels elevate the ensemble. It also works for the office with ballet flats and a tote bag.
Comfort and Fit
The square neckline is universally flattering, and the relaxed trapeze fit is comfortable and breezy without being shapeless. Spaghetti straps prevent awkward tan lines, and the back features stretchy shirring to accommodate most bust sizes. The dress also includes pockets, a feature praised by shoppers.
Customer Reviews
Shoppers have been thrilled with the dress, with one stating: “I absolutely love this dress, it is airy and comfortable to wear and it has pockets.” Another added: “Wonderful dress and I had a lot of compliments.” A third reviewer said: “Love it, feels lovely on and it has pockets!! Really comfy.” However, some found the fit problematic: “The dress was lovely but it just didn’t hang right over the hips.” A workaround was suggested by another customer: “Reading the reviews I dropped down a size and it fitted perfectly without the 'balloon' of fabric.”
Alternative Options
For those who prefer a different print, the dress also comes in ecru with a tropical palm tree design. For a more fitted silhouette, Nobody's Child offers the Polka Dot Bandeau Alice Midi Dress, reduced to £88 from £110. Marks & Spencer's Pure Cotton Polka Dot Mini Cami Dress is another affordable alternative at £26.
