Next shoppers race to buy £32 ‘Italy-inspired’ summer dress that looks like £1700 D&G one

Now that we’ve had our first real taste of summer heat this year, fashion enthusiasts are likely getting their warm weather wardrobes in order before the full force of summer arrives. If you’re on the lookout for the perfect dress to don while basking in the UK sun or holidaying abroad, Boden is offering a 25% discount on everything until next week – including some truly standout summer dresses.

Boden’s Bank Holiday sale, which you can shop here, has reduced prices on dresses, trousers, skirts, shoes and jumpsuits. Meanwhile, it’s worth casting an eye over Next, where you can shop a designer-inspired number for less.

The high street retailer is selling the Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress for just £32, a bargain considering it bears a striking resemblance to a much pricier version. While not an exact match, the shift dress is eerily similar to a Dolce and Gabbana piece.

Choosing the high-end Capri Printed Cotton Mini Dress would set you back a hefty £850, currently half its original RRP of £1,700. This makes the Next version nearly £820 cheaper than the luxury brand’s option.

Available in petite, regular and tall cuts in sizes ranging from six to 26, the £32 dress is crafted from a lightweight linen blend that’s perfect for summer. The mini dress features a scoop back neckline with side pockets and a split side hem.

The standout element of the dress is undoubtedly its stunning print. The design boasts a European holiday aesthetic, reminiscent of the pattern on a Dolce & Gabbana piece inspired by the charming Italian isle of Capri.

Meanwhile, if you’re chasing Mamma Mia! vibes, Roman’s Royal Blue Abstract Border Print Shirt Dress might be your go-to, now reduced to £37.20 from £42 when you use the code SHINE at checkout. Or perhaps New Look’s White Amalfi Postcard Print Slit Hem Midi Dress, echoing the enchanting Italian coastline, catches your eye, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress has charmed shoppers, earning a stellar average rating of 4.5 out of five from over a dozen reviews. A happy customer commented: “Very nice dress, .looks fabulous on. Bright and nicely different pattern.”

Another purchaser remarked: “Lovely little summer dress. The muted colours able to dress up or down depending on the occasion.”

And another mentioned: “Nice shape dress,” adding, “Easy to wear and comfortable. Great for holidays day or night. Great colour and fabric.”

However, one buyer gave the Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress just three stars, describing it as ‘unflattering’—something worth considering. They noted: “Colours were very drab, the neckline was very high. Not a flattering dress.”

Yet another shopper expressed delight with their latest Next find, saying: “Perfect for holidays. Classic shape and beautiful print. The longer length is just right for me.”
