Since dropping online, thehas garnered some glowing reviews and five-star ratings, with one shopper saying: "Lovely dress and perfect for summer events. The material will help to keep you cool, and it's pretty good for festivals and days on the beach."

Another chimed in: "I have only tried it on and not worn it yet but I was very pleased with the flattering fit. It has a small amount of shirred elastication around the waist which, for me, made really comfortable.

"It has a tie neck, but I prefer it left undone. My husband and daughter immediately said I looked nice without me having to ask! A perfect dress for a spring or summer day, I think I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it this year."

While there hasn't been any negative reviews so far, the only minor complaint is that this particular dress doesn't come in 'petite' sizes, even though usually offers shorter lengths. With dimensions of 50" x 127cm, it might be a bit too long for some.

If you're looking for petite sizing, this from Next is available in petite, regular and tall sizes for £47.
