Next fans are heaping praise on a dress that has been hailed as ‘perfect’ for all spring and summer occasions. The Off-White and Blue Stripe Flutter Sleeve Tie Neck Elasticated Waist Tiered Midi Dress from the popular high street shop costs £49 and has just launched on the brand’s website – just in time for the sunshine.
Available in sizes 6 to 26 (although 24 and 26 are currently out of stock) and in two different lengths to cater to taller bodies, the dress has been described as the ‘perfect holiday’ frock that’ll easily take you from beach to bar to dinner with ‘ease’. Crafted with pops of orange filtered through the striped pattern, it’s a dress that will instantly make you feel ready for the upcoming season.
Made from a cotton and viscose blend, the flowing, tiered dress has a vertical flattering striped pattern and short flutter sleeves, which are breathable in sweltering heat waves, not to mention romantic. The neckline has a V-shape, but it can be tied with thin spaghetti straps for a high neck style with some of your décolletage showing.

An elasticated waistband on the £49 dress makes it a comfortable option whether on a day trip or heading out to dinner – plus, it can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the accessories.
For example, add some trainers, a denim jacket and some dainty jewellery for a casual coffee trip or swap out the shoes with some wedges, a pashmina and some statement earrings for something a little more fancy.

The dress’ tiered skirt makes for a lovely silhouette and is a popular detail amongst dress designs currently as its A-line shape is super flattering – for example, Nobody’s Child’s Green Sleeveless Tiered Charlie Midi Dress, £85, has the same style skirt but on top is a shirred, sleeveless bodice. Meanwhile, Marks and Spencer’s more casual, shirt-style Modal Rich Checked Button Front Midi Dress is £35 and has a single tier, adding some swish with every step.
The Next dress, despite have recently landed on the website, has already received rave reviews from shoppers and a five star rating across the board.
One said: “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 echoed the sentiment: “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 the dress 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 have been no negative reviews left so far, the one slight gripe is that there aren’t any ‘petite’ sizes in this particular dress, although Next has been known to provide this. With measurements of 50″ x 127cm, it could be slightly too long for some. If you’re after petite sizing, this Bright Orange Fruit Print Button Down Puff Sleeve Midi Dress with Linen from Next is available in petite, regular and tall sizes for £47.
