Next's Ecru Floral Print Occasion Ruffle V-Neck Midi Dress, priced at £56, has been garnering praise from shoppers for its 'summery and chic' design. The dress features ruffle detailing, a tie waist, and comes in floral or polka dot prints, suitable for pairing with sandals or heels.
First Impressions and Fit
Upon visiting a local Next store, the reviewer found the dress to be lightweight and breathable, ideal for warmer weather. The v-neckline includes clasp buttons, allowing adjustment for more or less coverage. The adjustable tie waist provided a flattering silhouette, and the ruffled sleeves added texture without appearing frumpy.
Shopper Reviews and Feedback
One shopper commented: 'Bought this dress as it came up as recommended on Instagram. Lovely material and I think it looks more expensive than what it actually is. Good fit and with a pair of heels, occasion ready!!!' Another added: 'I feel like Pretty Woman! It's beautiful and the quality is next to none.' A third reviewer noted: 'Beautiful dress. Colours are amazing. Really delighted that it is available in petite.' A fourth said: 'Bought this for my son's wedding. Lovely dress fitted lovely with a big summer hat. Very pleased with the purchase.'
Potential Drawbacks
Some shoppers reported that the dress 'easily creases' and that the layers contain 'too much material.'
Styling Suggestions
The dress can be dressed down with trainers for a picnic or dressed up with gold or silver accessories and bright pink lipstick for formal events. The floral print makes it suitable for weddings despite the light base colour.
