Very Collection's Denim Seamed Midi Dress, priced at £40, has garnered enthusiastic reviews from shoppers who describe it as 'flattering' and 'very slimming'. The dress, available in sizes 8-20, is crafted from 100% cotton, making it breathable and suitable for warmer weather.
Design and Features
The dark wash denim lends an elegant aesthetic, while the discreet back zip closure adds a premium feel. The dress features figure-enhancing panelled construction, short capped sleeves, and a tie-back waist that helps sculpt a more defined silhouette. The contoured bodice transitions into a fuller skirt, creating a timeless shape that flatters various body types.
Customer Reviews
The dress has achieved an impressive 4.7-star rating on the Very website. One delighted shopper said: 'This dress has a beautiful cut. It flows perfectly and fits true to size. I ordered a 14 and I'm really pleased with it. The length is nice and long, just more than a midi length. Defo worth the price.' Another reviewer added: 'Very flattering dress. Beautiful thin denim material. Love it! Order your usual size.' A third commented: 'Lovely denim dress, material not too heavy, very slimming.'
However, not all feedback was positive. One reviewer noted: 'The dress is lovely, quite soft for denim, but the skirt is much fuller than it looks in the picture, and unfortunately didn't suit me, so sadly I had to return it.' Despite this, the overall response has been overwhelmingly positive, with another five-star review stating: 'This dress is just gorgeous. It sits flatteringly on the hips and bust and the tie at the back belt really flatters the waistline. It's a little long on me, I'm 5' 2" but it still works. I got so many compliments at work on it.'
Alternatives and Styling
For those seeking alternatives, The Roman Denim Panel Detail Midi Dress is priced at £42 and available in three shades, featuring a v-neck and sleeveless cut in a flattering fit and flare silhouette, though sizes are limited to 10-20. Boden's Zip Puff Sleeve Denim Dress has been reduced from £149 to £74.50, distinguished by its zip fastening, statement puff-ball sleeves, and figure-enhancing panelled skirt.
When styling a denim midi dress, understated accessories work best. White trainers and a crossbody bag suit casual outings, tan sandals and gold jewellery are ideal for summer lunches, while espadrille wedges and a woven clutch elevate looks for holidays and garden parties.
