New Look's 'designer quality' £37 satin summer dress hailed 'flattering for any shape'

New Look fans say they have discovered the “perfect” summer dress which, they say, “has the quality of a designer label but with an affordable price tag.” The elegant £37 Satin Pleated Midi Wrap Dress can be worn for a multitude for summer events such as weddings and the races, with fashion fans claiming it gets “lots of compliments” and is “very flattering for all shapes.”

New Look's “stunning” £36.99 Pleated Midi Wrap dress is made from “beautiful, soft, satin material” with a tie-belt around the waist that creates the illusion of an hourglass figure. The timeless Summer dress features a pleated skirt which has a fit-and-flare design that creates the illusion of a smaller waist and hourglass figure.

The budget Summer occasion dress also has a wrap front which flatters the bust and skims over bloated tummies for maximum comfort. Many fashion fans commented on the dress’ lightweight, chic material, which is perfect to wear on warmer days.

The £37 New Look Summer dress comes in two opulent colours - Emerald Green and Deep Pink. It is available in sizes 6 to 20.

The dress has been showered with glowing reviews on New Look’s website. Many shoppers have complimented the dress’ flattering style, while others have been stunned with it's level of quality for the £37 price tag.

One shopper said: “This is a stunning dress. I bought this dress for a very smart, evening black-tie event. The material is a beautiful, soft satin and the colour is gorgeous.

“I am only 5'2 and it came to just above my ankles when I wore high heels. I am normally a size 18 but I ordered a size 20 after consulting the size guide.

“The 20 was way too big and I had to swap it for an 18. The wrap part over the bust area is very generous so you need to pin it or wear a camisole. The dress has an inch wide satin tie but the elasticized waist did show a bit when the tie moved. I will probably wear a wider silver or gold belt next time just to finish it off and make it that little bit smarter.”

Another said: “This beautiful green dress caught my eye in the shop .Came home and then decided to order. Wasn’t disappointed.It is beautiful and stunning and I can't wait to wear it. I absolutely adore it.

“Ladies Day races ready,” another said, “this dress had the quality of a designer label but at an affordable price it was so easy to wear for the whole day and I had lots of compliments. Thank god for New Look saved the day after lots of online ordering for an outfit!”

One New Look shopper who bought the dress for a wedding said: “Really lovely dress. Thin fabric but this is good for the warmer weather. I would say the top half was ever so slightly a looser fit on myself but the pleated skirt was perfect. I would opt down a size if purchasing.”

“Lovely dress for price,” one customer wrote, “Dress is nice. I am pleased with it. I am 5ft 3 and glad it is a midi style as it sits just above my ankle, a maxi would be dragging the floor.

“It is a little loose on top but looks good like that. The pleats and flow of the dress looks really nice. I will need to wear an underskirt as the material is slightly see through and there is no lining. Material at neckline and shoulder folds over to reveal back, but can be fixed in place, will not affect use. Good dress for the price.”

Another said: “Stunning dress, beautiful green colour. Very flattering for any shapes. Comfortable. Great price. Have bought for a wedding coming up. Not a midi, im 5' 6. More maxi length on me. But heels lifted it. I absolutely love this dress.”

If the colours are not to your taste, River Island fans are obsessed with this ‘dreamy’ pink Summer slip dress that is perfect for any summer occasion or family event.
