With spring in full swing and summer holidays just around the corner, Next shoppers can get their hands on a €13 cotton dress that has been described as ‘ideal for hot days’.
The Cotton Cap Sleeve V-Neck Mini Dress boasts short sleeves and a relaxed shift dress silhouette, complete with a V-neck. It is available on the Next website in three styles – a plain black or plain red version (€13 each), as well navy with a yellow floral print (€15). The dress is crafted from 100% cotton material, features a “breezy” mini length, and is machine washable.
Shoppers have praised the dress for its price point, and many have described it as being true to size. The Next cotton dress comes in sizes XS to 2XL.

A few pointed out sizing inconsistencies or colour variations, though these concerns were outweighed by an overwhelmingly positive reception, with the dress earning an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5, reports the Liverpool Echo.
One shopper said: “Ideal to take on holiday as a cover up on beach, and pool. I am a petite frame 5’2″ I have waited months for this to come in stock. Most items in Next are far too long and have too much material in them for petite frames. We need more petite sizes please”.

Another shopper said: “Cheap and fantastic dress for my holiday. Better quality material than expected for the price.”
A third added: “The orange graphic cap sleeve V-neck mini dress is a breath of fresh air. It looks gorgeous on and it’s so comfortable but the best thing about it it’s 100% cotton which prefer. The graphic print I love. I brought it as it’s my 60th birthday on April 1 and I’m going on cruise. So my dress will be perfect for that trip. Good value for money amazing quality too. I’m happy.”
However, some shoppers were not keen on the material, while others complained that the sizing was “too small”.

Another short-sleeved cotton dress is available at M&S. The Pure Cotton Denim Mini T-shirt Dress is priced at €47 and is offered in blue, with sizes ranging from 6 to 24.
Meanwhile for something a bit dressier, this ASOS DESIGN square neck cotton sateen mini dress in a yellow floral print is €59.99.
