A good midi dress is an item every summer wardrobe needs, and this stunning new one shoulder number from M&S is perfect for a trip to the beach, your next summer wedding, or for a picnic in the park when the weather decides to behave.

Priced at £39.50, and available in all sizes from a UK 8 to 24, as well as three lengths; petite, regular and long, the Pure Cotton One Shoulder Midi Waisted Dress is a timeless piece that flatters every figure. 

Made from breathable pure cotton and featuring a floaty midi length skirt, it’s great for keeping you cool on a hot summer day whilst the shirred detailing at the waist cinches you in for a flattering finish.

We love how versatile the dress is as it can be dressed up or down super easily. Pair with sandals or ballet flats and a cute rattan bag for the perfect daytime holiday look, or style with a pair of heels and some gold jewellery for the ultimate wedding guest fit.

M&S suggest pairing the dress with these £45 Leather Buckle Ankle Strap Flatform Sandals and a Straw Striped Tote Bag which is priced at £29.50.

As the dress is brand new, there’s no reviews to go off just yet, but we have a feeling it’s going to sell out in no time – so don’t want around. 

If the one shoulder style isn’t for you, a similar alternative we’re loving, again from M&S is this Pure Cotton Square Neck Midi Shirred Dress, priced at £39.50.  Featuring a shirred bodice to create a flattering shape as well as a square neck and breezy midi-length skirt, it’s great thrown on over a bikini, or dressed up with some summer wedges.

Plenty of shoppers have left five-star reviews too, and are especially loving the fact that the dress features pockets. One delighted customer said: “Really comfortable. Looking forward to wearing it when we get some nicer weather. Flattering style and it has pockets!”

A second added: “Fabulous dress fits true to size, great length and looks good with a jacket, jumper over the top. Now I just need the sun to wear it as a summer dress!”

Despite plenty of glowing reviews, one shopper wasn’t impressed and said: “For me it was nothing special, I think there are nicer sundresses around. It seems cheaply made and looks like a supermarket dress with a higher price tag.”

Another great place to shop for summer dresses is Nobody’s Child, whether you’re jetting off to the sunshine, or heading to a wedding. If it’s colour you want adding to your wardrobe, we’re loving this £75 Yellow Gingham Dionne Midi Dress. 

For a special occasion, this Brown Polka Dot Halterneck Sabina Midi Dress is the perfect pick, made from a  responsible lyocell blend cut with a touch of linen.
