The design features a shaped shirred bodice, which offers both support and a flattering fit. The stretchy, ruched texture creates definition at the waist, ideal for staying cool and comfortable in hot weather. The adjustable spaghetti straps add another level of ease, allowing for a customisable fit.

Online, shoppers are calling the maxi dress a 'must-have for summer' and 'flattering on all body types,' with many highlighting how comfortable and easy it is to wear.

Alternatively, Boden has the Ruffle Detail Tier Midi Dress for £129, which strikes the perfect blend of bold and classic. Another top pick can be found at Nobody's Child, where the Green Gingham Shirred Ruth Jumpsuit at £82 is a best-seller.

Shoppers have praised Next's simple yet elegant dress for its versatility. It can be dressed down with sandals and a straw bag for casual daytime wear or paired with bold jewellery for a summer evening look.

One shopper wrote in a five-star review: "Lovely flattering fit!" While a second person raved: "I LOVE this. I'm 5ft 11 and a size 16/18 in most Next items. I have this in a 16T and it is perfect. It gives me the most flattering shape. I love the ruche section at the top, then the main body flow."

A third person shared: "Beautiful dress and it fits perfectly." However, one person noted: "Lovely and cool dress, it's flattering and flows beautifully from under the bust. It's a little on the long side for me at 5'3.”

The dress is part of Next's summer sale, which also features clothing, homeware and more.
