The stunning Navy Blue Greek Print Midi Slip Summer Dress is made to be an effortlessly stylish wardrobe addition for sunny holidays and warm weather. It comes in sizes six to 26 in petite, regular and tall lengths.
Crafted from a soft and breathable blend of viscose and nylon, the dress is designed to keep you cool and comfortable in the heat. This construction also makes it light as a feather, ideal for packing away in a suitcase for beach vacations or mini breaks abroad.
The dress boats adjustable shoulder straps and a split side hem for comfortable wearing. It falls to an elegant midi length, designed to hit at the slimmest part of the leg, the mid-calf, creating an elongated look.
If you like the look of the dress but would prefer it in a different colour and print, not to worry. Shoppers can also score it in eight other designs including black/green paisley, brown animal print, pink tropical print and red palm print, among others.
Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer’s Linen Rich Lace Insert Strappy Midi Shift Dress comes in at £50. Available in sizes six to 24 in petite, regular and tall lengths, the linen-rich midi dress is a tasteful option for warm days.

Alternatively, New Look’s Blue Stripe Woven Midi Dress is available for £34.99. Falling to a midi length, the flutter sleeves and flared skirt provide subtle movement, while the shirred waist makes it comfortable even on the most bloated of tummies.
Back at Next, the Navy Blue Greek Print Midi Slip Summer Dress has racked up an overall star-rating of 4.8 out of five based on 180 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “Absolutely love this sun dress. Beautiful print and the fit is lovely.”

“I have three of these dresses in different colours,” a third penned. “They are comfortable and flattering and great for holidays.”
One shopper, however, found the Navy Blue Greek Print Midi Slip Summer Dress to be ‘disappointing’ and gave it a three-star review. It reads: “I ordered this dress for my holiday but found it very tight across the bust area.
It was a lovely dress nice fabric I just felt it needed to be a little more fabric even going up a size same issue. Disappointing.”
“I was excited to get this but I was underwhelmed when I took it out of the bag,” another three-star review mentions. ” I chose 12 petite, I’m 5ft 2ins but it runs small and fitted like skin on a sausage.
“I also thought it would be a linen blend and it’s a synthetic material but didn’t seem very floaty. Not for me, I’m returning.”
Nevertheless, someone else loved their latest Next purchase, adding: “A dress that could be worn casually or dressed up for a special occasion. Nice lightweight material and available in a variety of designs. Ideal for a summer holiday.”
Another five-star review reads: “Love this sundress. Easy to pack in hand luggage, doesn’t crease easily, lovely cool fabric, flattering fit on curvy figures. Have this dress in several different prints.”
