The Next dress has received five reviews on the retailer's website, all of which are five-star ratings. One happy shopper said: "Lovely dress. Fits perfectly and won’t crease. Bought for a wedding. Very flattering."
A second added: "I'm very happy with this purchase, it's beautiful, I got lots of compliments."
"I think this will be a versatile dress & looks really slimming on", penned a third.
Another buyer added: "Bought this to wear to a summer wedding and I'm delighted with it. I'm a generous size 10 with a bit of a tummy, and it fits nicely - not too clingy, very comfortable but still glamorous. The neckline is not too low, the length is just on the ankle (I'm 5'5") and the dress feels substantial without being heavy (there is an underskirt). The fabric doesn't wrinkle so hopefully it'll look good all day. Excellent value."
A different shopper said: "This is a beautiful dress that can be worn for a "dressy" event, or less formally. Mesh dresses are always flattering", but also advised: "It fits true to size, but if you have a large chest, I do, the waist is more of an empire line, which actually looks nice thankfully! I am 5ft 7in & the length is just above my ankle so it is long. I can't wait to wear it & recommend."
At time of writing, there are no negative reviews for the Next dress. However, it's worth noting there are no petite or short options available.
