This Frill Abstract Print Chiffon Midi Dress, which looks super chic and expensive (trust us, we've seen it in real life) and is the perfect versatile piece to see you through the colder months to come.
This flowy floral number is the perfect transitional piece to take you from summer to autumn.
Costing just £65, it has been stunningly designed with intricate details that make it look and feel a whole lot more expensive. For starters, the abstract print ties in all the key colours of autumn with spots of chocolate brown, deep green hues and subtle sweeps of blush pink and burgundy. The rich tones perfectly complement each other and are sure to look great on any skin tone.
Then there's the thoughtfully-designed silhouette, cut in a flattering A-line shape, the vintage-inspired midi dress is made out of a flowy chiffon fabric so that it has movement and features chic bow details on the cuffs and ruffle frills throughout, adding texture and a luxury-looking finish.
Lightweight and with a relaxed fit, you'll be able to get plenty of wear out of the show-stopping dress, style it up with heels for a wedding or special occasion, or dress it down with some trainers or boots for the office.
Available in sizes eight to 20, it's the perfect one-and-done wardrobe piece that you'll be glad to have in your wardrobe for years to come.
What the reviews say
New to John Lewis's autumn range, reviews are slowly trickling in, with shoppers in disbelief at how good it looks on. The one piece of advice that has popped up is if you have a bigger chest, they recommend going up a size. It's also worth noting it comes up quite long according to some reviews.
"Love this dress. I'm ridiculously tall at 5'11 and it's perfect. I'd say true to size but no stretch. Couldn't believe how wonderful it is. Great with black, brown, dark red, pink."
"I really loved the dress. I wore it to a wedding. But if you have a bigger chest go up a size."
"This is an absolutely beautiful dress. Could not believe the price. It is floaty, gorgeous and a great addition to your autumn/winter wardrobe. Sleeves are beautiful. The colours are so autumnal. Will look great with boots or heels. Can't wait to wear it. If you are thinking about this don't hesitate. You will not be dissatisfied with this beauty. I am size 12 usually but bought a 10 and it fits perfectly."
