River Island shoppers all want its bargain 'summer dress of dreams'

High street giant River Island has blown shoppers away with a dress people are calling 'perfect for summer'. The fashion retailer has released bucket loads of summer pieces in recent weeks, with a heavy emphasis on tropical palettes and beachy hues.

But one dress in particular has found itself the centre of attention on social media. Posting on Instagram, the fashion brand shared a picture of a gorgeous crochet dress.

The crochet bodycon dress comes in three different colours - white, brown and black, and costs £45. The dress features crochet fabric with a bodycon fit, and has ring details on the shoulders. It is a midi fit and features a split hem.

The dress can be worn as a beach cover up, but can also be dressed up for an evening in the heat - with the right accessories.

If you want to wear it in the day time, style over swimwear with a pair of embellished sandals and floppy hat. For the evening, opt for a chunky pair of heeled sandals (a cork or wooden sole would work well), and pair with some gold bangles.

Captioning the image, River Island wrote: "The perfect outfits for your first visit to the super mercado." It quickly caught the eye of shoppers.

annie__pringle replied: "Stunning dress styled perfectly with those beautiful sandals." katievictoriahulland said: "Dress of dreams."

Other people found themselves distracted by the sandals River Island had chosen to compliment the dress. The Gold Rope Detail Chunky Sandals cost £48, and they can only be bought online as they're not available in stores.
