Although the sun may have gone back behind the clouds as we bid farewell to the weekend, many of us - to escape the gloomy rain we so frequently experience - may have booked a holiday to somewhere a bit more tropical. And River Island has made packing for those sunny vacations easier by launching a dreamy Pink Floral Slip Maxi Dress.
Thanks to the versatility of its style, pattern and cut, this dress is perfect walks on the beach or evening parties. Coming in sizes six to 18, the £65 item is a gorgeous display of florals in a variety of colours from pinks and oranges to greens and blues.
The spaghetti straps are perfect in warmer climates and the V-neckline is so flattering on all body shapes - especially if paired with a little pendant. It also has a gorgeous statement hemline that is bright-green, adding some character, while the skirt floats to the floor and is finished with a rippled hem. We can imagine how amazing this dress would look when that warm breeze blows.
To style it up, add some statement earrings and add some heeled sandals.
The maxi length, for those who have a relatively mid-to-tall height, falls to just above the ground, meaning you can wear your favourite sandals or flat shoes without the dress dragging on the floor.
Kate Middleton swears by £19.99 rosehip oil that helps 'reduce wrinkles & scars'After spotting it on River Island's social media, fans of the brand rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts on the dress - with many begging for it to be recreated in petite sizing.
One said: "Lovely for holiday."
Another added: "Chic classy look."
A third stated: "Love this. Great for [a] Caribbean holiday," while a fourth simply stated: "Stunning."
Although it's available in sizes six to 18, many called for it to also be created in larger sizes, with one fashion fan saying: "Gorgeous dress needs to be available in plus range please."
Now, of course with the weather in Britain being as temperamental as it is - and it only being March - this dress is one to save for those summer weddings that will surely be receiving an abundance of sunshine. Or for your upcoming holiday to escape the March and April showers.
If you're after a more cohesive colour scheme, featuring one or two colours as opposed to River Island's rainbow-hued garment, ASOS's Collusion floral print tiered cami midi summer dress has pink and white tones and is a beautiful option for summer holidays and weddings.
Alternatively, this SilkFred dress is great for those who'd rather a midi length whilst keeping the v-neck and spaghetti straps - rather than a white background, this multicolour dress, £48, has a blue base, which compliments the peach and orange flowers gorgeously.
