Next's 'flattering' £28 lightweight summer dress is 'ideal for holiday'

Next customers are lavishing praise on a "lovely" summer dress that's become a hit online. The brand, renowned for its trendy clothing and accessories, might just have a new crowd-pleaser on its hands.
The sought-after Midi Slip Summer Dress is retailing for £28. It comes in a variety of patterns including a bold pink and orange combo, blue tie-dye, as well as black/green and black/animal prints.
The coveted dress is available in both regular and petite lengths, catering to sizes six through 22. However, eager buyers should act fast, as some sizes are selling out quickly.
Next advises that the fitting runs slightly smaller than standard sizing, an important consideration for online shoppers. The dress boasts a midi cut, adjustable straps for perfect fit, and is notably easy to care for – just toss it in the washing machine.
The full product description states: "The perfect dress for sunny holidays or warm weather dressing, this flattering midi-length dress has a lightweight slip design, made from a soft fabric with adjustable shoulder straps and a split side hem," reports the Mirror.

For those still hunting for ideal summer wear, River Island sells the Pink Broderie Midi Dress at £69. Alternatively, New Look's Red Gingham Bow Back Midi Dress is priced at £33.99, while Very offers the stylish Vero Moda Woven Ankle Drop Hem Dress for £44.
Shoppers appear mostly delighted with Next's Midi Slip Summer Dress, though a few noted minor issues. One satisfied customer commented, "Bright colourful good quality and fits well," whereas another happy shopper shared, "Lovely summer dress, wore it recently on holiday."
One shopper commented on the split in the dress and claimed it felt more like beachwear. They said: "Lovely dress. Fits well but has a very high split up the leg. Think it's more suited to beach wear rather than an every day dress."

Meanwhile, some were all for its versatility, with a comment reading: "Great light dress to wear on its own or over your swimsuit, lovely colours material lovely and soft. Great addition to my summer wardrobe."
Another buyer found it suitable for multiple occasions: "This is a lovely dress...although I wanted to wear it in the day with my swimwear I think I would want to dress it up for night too."
Compliments were plentiful, as one shopper expressed satisfaction with their purchase: "Lovely dress. Bought for a Caribbean holiday. Got lots of compliments. True to size. Doesn't crease."
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one saying: "Nice light cotton straight summer dress. Ideal for a holiday," another suggesting it was "ideal for holiday."
A further compliment came from someone who called it a "Nice little lightweight holiday dress. Good fit."

The Traitors' Leanne Quigley admits she can't marry fiancée yet for sad reason

EXCLUSIVE: Traitors star Leanne Quigley would tie the knot with fiancée Sophie right now, but after her partner's heartbreaking cancer battle, she wants to walk down the aisle with her own hair grown back The Traitors winner Leanne Quigley has revealed she would marry fiancée Sophie Jones "today" if she could - but they will wait until Sophie's hair totally grows back, following her gruelling cancer battle. Leanne, 28, a former soldier from Holywell, North Wales, who appeared as a Faithful in the third season of the show, says, 'I would get married today if I could. But Soph has been going through her hair growth journey. As soon as she feels comfortable and ready, then we will get married. Ideally, it will be the end of next year or maybe the start of 2027.' ‌ Speaking exclusively to the Mirror at the British LGBT Awards 2025 at The Brewery, London, Leanne adds: "Sophie's doing great. This is the first thing she has been able to come to with me without having to wear a wig. It feels very special.' ‌ Of their plans to tie the knot following their 2021 engagement, she says: 'I would have to be close to home. We took the twins abroad on holiday and it's not the most stress-free of experiences - so it will be as close to home as possible!' Sophie, also a former army recruit, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer last year, just weeks after Leanne finished filming on the BBC show, after finding a lump in her breast. Thankfully, after a journey which Leanne previously told the Mirror was 'utterly terrifying' as initially they 'didn't know if she'd live' - Sophie was given the all-clear, earlier this year. Leanne is happy and looking to the future, but admits, it's been 'the worst time of their lives'. 'We went from a huge high to the lowest blow. She was going through treatment then The Traitors came out, so it was quite turbulent. But we are very lucky.' Now the TV star, who shares twin sons, Harley and Hudson, 2, with her partner, who gave birth to their boys, would also like to start IVF soon and expand their family ‌ 'We'll probably try next year. There's no guarantee it will work, so I think the sooner the better. But I would like the kids all to be close in age, I would definitely want to drink at the wedding though, so I think we'd have to wait.' Leanne has also toyed lately with the idea of rejoining the army part-time, which she misses a lot, but says taking on risks in dangerous warzones would be a different ballgame, now she's a mother. ‌ She says, 'I was chatting to my mum the other day and I asked her if I should join the Reserves again, which is basically going back part time. It is a big thing, leaving. I was there for 12 years - we were like a big family. 'It is different now, though. Before, I was fearless. I wasn't scared of anything. Now I am a mother, I am scared of everything. Everything I do, I think about them.' The turbulent and fast-changing situation in the Middle East makes it an even more terrifying prospect, admitted the bubbly blonde. 'I'm not going to lie, it is pretty scary. That's why there's an element of me wanting to join back up so I know what's going on and can help in some way. But now I am a mum. I am scared of everything and just want to protect them. She adds, 'In one way I want to go back more because I'm worried the shit is going to hit the fan and I want to do what I can. And in another way, it makes me want to go back less because I need to be here for my family.'

In the midst of their hectic lives, Nicola spoke about valuing their shared moments: "We make the most of the time that we have together and prioritise that - and make the most of that."

Prince William's new attitude to Harry feud revealed as he marks 'new milestone'

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info It's no secret that the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry remains frosty. The once close-knit brothers have seen their bond strained since Harry and Meghan chose to abandon their roles as working royals in the UK and start anew in America. The numerous public statements made by the couple about their experiences within the monarchy, coupled with the allegations they've levelled against other high-ranking royals and their staff, have only served to widen the existing rift between the siblings. READ MORE - Countryfile's Matt Baker speaks out on 'time apart' from wife for new career READ MORE - Nocturnal habit that could be an early warning sign of stroke or heart failure Prince William, known for his private nature, is marking his 43rd birthday, bidding farewell to what he has described as a "brutal" year, one of the "hardest" he has ever faced. With both his father, King Charles, and his wife, Kate Middleton, undergoing cancer treatment, William has had to navigate a delicate balancing act: providing support to his family behind closed doors, while still fulfilling as many of his Royal duties as possible during this period of personal difficulty, all under the intense scrutiny that comes with being a member of the Windsor clan, reports the Mirror. A source disclosed to The Sunday Times that as William turns 43, these trials aren't the only things he's leaving behind - he's also learned to release his "anger" towards his younger brother. Following the publication of Prince Harry's explosive memoir 'Spare', in which he accused his elder brother of physically attacking him at Kensington Palace in 2019 during a disagreement over Meghan, friends reported that Prince William was seething with anger over the book, which set new sales records. However, more than two years after the release of 'Spare', the situation has drastically changed, according to a close friend. "What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn't mention it at all," the source was quoted as saying. 'It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset. But he's not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at. "Prince Harry recently made a public plea for reconciliation with his family, admitting that his father Charles "won't speak" to him due to a dispute with the Home Office over the removal of his automatic police an interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex also stated that he doesn't "know how much longer my father has" and acknowledged that he knew "some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. " Recent claims suggest Meghan and Harry are keen for their youngsters, six year old Prince Archie and four year old Princess Lilibet, to bear the 'HRH' title. Reported by the Sunday Times, such aspirations have left Royal insiders bewildered. Despite the Sussexes' wish to provide their offspring with the option of becoming working royals, it's implied that "under the next reign, roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely. ".
