Fans of Matalan have been praising a 'versatile' £27 summer dress after spotting it online.

With the hot sunny weather looking like it's here to stay, many shoppers are on the lookout for a cool and summery dress to wear in the sunshine.

The dress is currently only available in sizes 16, 18 and 20 and has an average rating of 5/5 from shoppers. Many have praised the dress for looking 'classy'.

Designed by Et Vous, the range promises to offer 'flattering' and 'feminine' staples for women. It has a focus on fabric, detail and print.

On the Matalan website, the full product description reads: "Ideal for a summer stroll or a family gathering in the garden, this Et Vous smock dress will tick all the boxes for warmer days. Detailed with a contrast Aztec print on a vibrant orange base, this lightweight dress provides easy movement and is finished with a feminine V-neck, along with voluminous sleeves and a practical tie at the waist. Finish the look with block heels or sandals."

Among the reviews, one shopper said: "This may be my new best dress! The colour is lovely! The quality is so good and it can’t be worn with or without belt for two different looks. So versatile! Just need a reason to wear it now!!"

A second review read: "Love this dress and love the fact it was in the sale too. It’s great quality. Only negative is the sizing, I ordered a 10 and it’s more like 12/14 so if ordering I’d order more than one size to try. But overall it’s definitely worth the money even if it’s not in the sale."

A third shopper said: "This dress is absolutely beautiful, I wore it for a party got so many compliments, my best dress so far."

A fourth shopper said: "I bought this recently and when I first unwrapped it thought it might be too big. But once I put it on and tied the belt, it hung beautifully. The print is vibrant, and the fabric looks expensive, so it's good value. I wondered if such a bold print would be versatile yet because it looks so classy you could wear it to work, a summer wedding or dressed down with flat sandals/trainers for a party on the weekend. Well done Matalan!"

Shoppers can purchase the Matalan dress for £27 here. Alternatively, a dress with a similar print includes this £10 Orange Zebra Strappy Maxi dress from Boohoo.
