A dress from high-street fashion brand Next has shoppers in love thanks to its ‘perfect’ style for spring and summer events. The Flutter Sleeve Tie Neck Elasticated Waist Tiered Midi Dress in Off-White and Blue Stripe comes in at £49 and is relatively new to the retailer’s website.
The dress comes in sizes six to 26 (although 24 and 26 are currently sold out) and is also available in tall lengths. A great option for the British sunshine we’ve been graced with of late, shoppers have also labelled the frock as the ‘perfect holiday’ piece that’ll effortlessly transition you from beach to bar with ‘ease’. Designed with pops of orange woven through the striped pattern, it’s a dress that will instantly get you in the mood for more tropical climes – be it on home soil or away.
Made from a blend of cotton and viscose, the boho-esque tiered dress features a vertical flattering striped pattern and short flutter sleeves, which are breathable (perfect in scorching heat waves), not to mention romantic. The neckline is V-shaped, but can be tied with thin spaghetti straps for a high-neck style with some of your décolletage on display.

An elasticated waistband on the £49 dress makes it a comfy choice whether on a day trip or heading out to dinner – plus, it can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the accessories.
For instance, pair it with some trainers, a denim jacket and some delicate jewellery for a casual coffee outing or switch the shoes for some wedges, a pashmina and some statement earrings for something a bit more glamorous, reports Chronicle Live.
This midaxi, flowing tiered skirt found on the next dress creates a stunning silhouette which is currently bang on trend—as seen in styles like the Nobody’s Child’s Green Sleeveless Tiered Charlie Midi Dress for £85, which has been receiving heaps of love from customers. Adding to its charm is its sleeveless shirred bodice, which adds comfort into the mix too.
Elsewhere, the chic single-tiered Modal Rich Checked Button Front Midi Dress from Marks and Spencer, priced at £35, is also a hit with its shirt-style design and more casual finish.
Since dropping online, the Next dress has garnered some glowing reviews and five-star ratings, with one shopper saying: “Lovely dress and perfect for summer events. The material will help to keep you cool, and it’s pretty good for festivals and days on the beach.”
Another chimed in: “I have only tried it on and not worn it yet but I was very pleased with the flattering fit. It has a small amount of shirred elastication around the waist which, for me, made the dress really comfortable.
“It has a tie neck, but I prefer it left undone. My husband and daughter immediately said I looked nice without me having to ask! A perfect dress for a spring or summer day, I think I’m going to get a lot of wear out of it this year.”
While there hasn’t been any negative reviews so far, the only minor complaint is that this particular dress doesn’t come in ‘petite’ sizes, even though Next usually offers shorter lengths. With dimensions of 50″ x 127cm, it might be a bit too long for some.
If you’re looking for petite sizing, this Bright Orange Fruit Print Button Down Puff Sleeve Midi Dress from Next is available in petite, regular and tall sizes for £47.
