Next has introduced a summer dress that has become a favorite among shoppers due to its thoughtful design and affordable price. The Sleeveless Textured Jersey Midi Summer Dress, priced at just £32, is available in two colors: navy polka dot and ecru white. One of its standout features is the 'bra-friendly straps,' which are designed to cover bra straps, addressing a common concern with many summer dresses.
The dress is crafted from textured jersey fabric, ensuring both comfort and durability. It includes side pockets, a tiered skirt, and a scoop neckline, making it both practical and stylish. Shoppers have praised it for being 'great for packing' as the material does not crease, making it an ideal travel companion.
Customer Reviews
The dress has received an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 23 reviews. One happy customer commented: "Bought this dress for my hols. Lovely material. Just the right length. Love the broad straps that will cover bra straps." Another added: "I would buy this in every colour! Lovely size and it has pockets, which is my must have feature!" A third reviewer noted: "Bought this dress for the summer, because of the texture it doesn't show creases which will be great for packing. I like the wider straps so it doesn't expose your bra straps. Very happy with my purchase." However, one shopper expressed mild disappointment: "Heavy material and skirt didn't sit well."
