Next's full product description reads: "This linen blend halterneck maxi dress is just the piece to get you destination ready.

Earning a range of glowing reviews, the dress is a hit among buyers. One person said: "This dress is beautiful and just perfect for summer. It's well made and fits perfectly. It washes great will minimal creasing, which I was delighted about. It can be used as a day dress or with some pretty sandals and jewellery it's great for a night out."
A second wrote: "Very flattering fit; generous fit - I'm a size 14/16 and the 14 was perfect for me. I'm 5ft 7' so length was perfect, just above ankles. Love the red colour. Material isn't overly creasy and looks like it will be cool and comfortable to wear in heat so am looking forward to wearing it on holiday."
However, some shoppers did find issues with the dress. One person said: "Great colour and love the shape - but massive! I know it's supposed to be flowing - but it was more like drowning. Like the dress, but sizing seems to be completely erratic with Next this year!"
Another shopper who had issues with the sizing wrote: "Lovely dress for summer. I wanted a proper maxi length. I'm 5ft 7in. I originally ordered the regular length, but it was a bit too short. So, then ordered the long length. It was a touch too long. However, as I loved it so much, I kept it and had it taken up."
Despite this, many shoppers continued to praise the dress, with one writing: "Lovely shade of red. Quite long so will need heels. Attractive halter neck. Not worn yet but looks lovely on."
A second wrote: "Lovely summer dress you can dress up or down." A third added: "Love this dress have the back in it too. Perfect length and fit so it falls beautifully and it has pockets!!!!

Nobody's Child knocks 50% off heatwave friendly dresses
Shoppers can bag big savings on the brand's beautiful summer dresses in the latest sale Nobody's Child has launched an epic sale in time for summer, with beautiful dresses slashed down to half price - and they're selling fast. The Red Jojo Sweetheart Maxi Dress was £69 but has dropped down to £35 in the sale. The stylish dress comes in sizes 4 to 18 in both petite and regular lengths catering to both short and taller customers. There's a classic V-neck allowing shoppers to flaunt any jewellery and romantic ruffles that soften the look. It's designed to be semi-fitted with the underbust seams that dropped down to the waist for a flattering look. It's said to be true to size and although there aren't any reviews on the Nobody's Child website it does appear to be selling quickly. New Look has a similar dress available with the Red Bow Tie Back Midi Dress, which has a plunging neckline and open back. This can make it less accessible for those with bigger busts who want to discreetly wear their bras. The £31.99 dress is available in more sizes, running up to a size 22. The Nobody's Child's sale also includes the beautiful Black Gingham Bow Detail Dallas Midi Dress, which is down to £45 from £89. The pretty dress features a square neckline and relaxed fit that is ideal for hot summer days and eating out. The tie-strap detailing adds a whimsical charm to the dress that will make shoppers stand out in a crowd and it even features pockets for easy storage on the go. For those who like the gingham dress style with the shoulder tie but want something a little shorter, Shein has a Checkered Shoulder Tie Ruffle Hem Mini Dress for £16.49 in a range of colours including black, blue and yellow. There's also a longer A-Line Midi Dress in a similar style to Nobody's Child's offering, although it does have a high neckline. The full Nobody's Child sale can be shopped here. The brand has a TrustPilot score of 3.4 stars, with many wearers praising the brand's dresses for 'feel-good' and 'comfortable fabric'. There are, however, a few shoppers online that said they struggled to find their right size. As one person said: "One was far too small (all size 16) I'm usually a 14. One had very loose elastic for the top of the dress, which made my boobs look dreadful and unsupported."

Dunelm shoppers love 'good value' lamp so much they buy 'another four'
The chic Rechargeable Table Lamp from Dunelm will add a pop of colour to any room in the home Homeowners have discovered a stylish solution to illuminate areas of the home where there are no plug sockets, and it won't cost them more than £30. Perfect for sprucing up the home this spring and summer, Dunelm's Remi Table Lamp is available in four chic colours - sage green, cornflower blue, heather and cream. The rechargeable table lamp takes three hours to be fully charged and will then run for five hours without needing any electricity. The Remi lamp stands out with its attention to detail, featuring a scalloped edge shade and natural wood elements. A flick switch adds a traditional touch to this modern piece. Priced at £30, those planning to use them as bedside lamps can achieve the look for £60, or the Remi lamp can shine on its own on a console or coffee table. It could also add a splash of colour to a desk in a home office. Illuminating the home with various smaller light sources, rather than one main light, creates a cosy and soft atmosphere. The design of the Remi lamp is compact enough to fit almost anywhere, but it still makes a statement, reports the Liverpool Echo. Even better, as it doesn't need to be plugged in, shoppers can place it anywhere around the home without any issues. This also means no unsightly wires or cables, instead offering a seamless and sophisticated look and feel. If the colours of the Remi lamp don't quite match your style, Next offers a similar Rechargeable Wall and Table Lamp for £45. Available in yellow or pink, customers have expressed they are 'very pleased' with their purchase. The Iris Table Lamp from Graham and Green also sports scalloped edges. Its classic design includes a natural linen shade that features a vintage scalloped edge accented with a blue trim for extra flair. Dunelm's shoppers have commended the packaging of the Remi lamp and noted that for £30, it is 'well made'. A customer reported that the lamp is 'very pretty and easy to use'. One five-star reviewer commented: "Looks great, lovely colour and is a decent price. However, it isn't super bright - hence the 4*. Good for added ambiance." Nevertheless, a customer withdrew a star from their review, stating: "Very pretty little lamp. Light level similar to a candle. The switch is a little temperamental however, so needs to be turned on and off carefully." Another satisfied buyer awarded five stars, saying: "Gorgeous little lamp. Looks lovely on a slightly dark landing." And someone else picked up multiple lamp, writing: "Loved it so much bought another 4! ....2 more for me and 2 for my daughter." The Remi Rechargeable Table Lamp is available to spruce up home decors for £30 via the Dunelm website.
