River Island's 'dreamy' £65 'ultimate boho dress' is perfect for spring
Spring is the perfect time to experiment with floral patterns and floaty cuts thanks to the weather getting slightly warmer as the days go on. And River Island has launched a brand new bohemian-inspired edit that includes a midi dress that is being described by the brand's head of womenswear design Emma Rossi as the 'ultimate boho dress' - and it's safe to say we're in love.
The Cream Floral Embroidered Smock Midi Dress costs £65 and is being hailed by Emma as being a bit of a 'hero' piece for this spring/summer thanks to its warm rose-adorned print and beadwork.
Speaking about the dress in a new video posted on River Island's social media, Emma explained that the boho trend is a combination of "artisanal, undone and of course, free spirited" and said about the 'hero piece' dress: "I love the print and the cut work and the beadwork. And then of course worn back with cowboy boots (£45) for the boho dream."
With florals and embroidery, this is the perfect piece if you want to start adding boho-styled garments into your wardrobe (River Island)Coming in sizes six to 18, the dress features a beautiful embroidered pattern on the chest underneath its crew neckline and tie neck. The long sleeves make it a gorgeous staple for transitioning to slightly warmer weather that still has a chill in the air while the midi-length allows for the option of boots, heels or trainers.
What's great about this floral pattern that sits on a cream background is that it lends itself well to being dressed up or down with the use of accessories and outerwear. For example, with some gorgeous big earrings, chunky clog-style heels and the neck-tie secured into a bow, this could be worn for a casual spring wedding. Or, pop on a pair of hooped earrings, a denim jacket and some trainers and you've got more of a Saturday brunch outfit.

The floaty smock fit is super flattering too and with metallic fibre and viscose material, falling beautifully to the floor and skimming over your tummy and hips. It has slim balloon-esque sleeves that boho icon Kate Moss herself would be proud to wear. River Island says: "You want to look like you just threw something on from your eclectic (and meticulously curated) collection of high-fashion, vintage-inspired styles" - and we think this dress is a bold piece that'll do just the trick and be a hard-working piece in your collection.
Upon seeing this dress on the brand's Instagram, one word many shoppers have used to describe this garment is 'dreamy' - and we couldn't agree more.
"Ahh love this! What a dreamy vibe," said one shopper. Another added about the brand's new edit: "Digging this Boho style." Us too.
Costing £65, this dress is a great alternative if you are a fan of Free People but can't quite justify spending over £100 on their gorgeously designed dresses - such as this A New Way Maxi (£158) and Emory Embroidered Midi Dress, also £158. Alongside River Island, there are a number of other stores which has embraced the bohemian style, like New Look which has this stand-out Blue Vanilla Blue Floral Tiered Maxi Dress for £48 or Nobody's Child, which offers dresses oozing boho-chic like this Holly Halter Midi Dress, now £20 in the brand's sale.
If your heart is set on this gorgeous River Island frock, however, get it here from the website - but be quick as it's selling pretty fast!
