Next is winning over shoppers with its latest summer dress, praised for its flattering fit and comfort. The £24 100% Cotton Twist Short Sleeved T-Shirt Summer Dress is a standout piece in their extensive collection. Offered in petite and regular sizes, this midi-length dress comes in five colours: black, khaki, plum, red, and navy with white stripes (priced at £28). While some sizes are currently sold out, a very similar model is available.
This dress is made from breathable cotton, making it perfect for warm weather wear. The design includes a classic crewneck collar and a stylish twist detail at the waist, which enhances the silhouette beautifully. Customers have appreciated how it “holds in all the right places” and complements their figure.
Many shoppers pair the dress with Next’s £29 Forever Comfort Double Strap Footbed Sandals, completing a simple and chic summer look. The black version of the dress boasts a solid four-star rating based on 53 reviews.

Satisfied customers shared their thoughts: “Absolutely gorgeous dress, so comfortable to wear and looks great. I love it so much I ordered it in khaki too.” Another said, “Brilliant fit. It sits snugly and really flatters my figure. I got lots of nice comments.” A third shopper noted, “Lovely dress and great length, very comfortable and no need for tights.”
Though overwhelmingly positive, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with fit and material quality, commenting, “It was not a good fit or very flattering. The material was very stiff.”
