Why we rate it
For starters, we love the pretty green floral print, which is the perfect shade of sage green. The sleeveless maxi dress can easily be paired with white trainers for a summer BBQ or styled up with heels and a light jacket for a smarter occasion.
It's made from cotton with added viscose to ensure it's lightweight, breathable, and cool. The soft material is also complemented by the tiered shape, which ensures it remains comfortable.
Available in sizes eight to 20, it also features an elasticised waist with clever tie detailing at the waist for
a super flattering fit.
Shoppers have also noted that it has an inner layer, which stops it from being transparent. All in all, this well-designed and versatile number is bound to get a ton of wear for years to come. One happy shopper even said, "It's my favourite dress this year!"
