It’s often hard to find a dress that fits perfectly, especially one to wear in the warmer weather, but I think I’ve done it.
The New Look ‘White Floral Cut Out Long Sleeve Mini Dress’ is priced at £33.99 with a gorgeous floral print and a V neckline. It has long puff sleeves and a slight cut out detail with layered hems and a relatively mini length (but not too mini!)
I haven’t shopped at New Look for a few years until recently, and I was just amazed by the quality and variation of products. I’ve also found that each product I’ve purchased has been completely true to size, a rarity in clothes shops these days to say the least.

In a nutshell, I was after a nice flowy floral dress that flattered my figure and didn’t cling too much. We all know how annoying it is when you leave the house feeling good, then you eat some food and things begin to feel a little tight and uncomfortable.
The dress slipped on perfectly with a zip at the back which was nice and roomy, and the puff sleeves weren’t too dangly. I’ll be honest, the term ‘cut out’ often puts me off, but I thought I’d be brave and give it a try, and I’m glad I did.
I can feel quite self-conscious in cut out dresses, but the cut out detail wasn’t too tight on this dress and gave me plenty of breathing room. Although the dress is described as ‘mini’ I wouldn’t say it was ridiculously short, which could be down to my 5’3 height.
As soon as I put this dress on I felt super feminine and ready for a nice spring picnic, all I needed was a bit of sunshine! In the model photo, the dress is paired with some white strappy heels and a pink clutch bag, but you could even dress this down with white trainers and a denim jacket.
I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling conscious in certain dresses, but this one managed to make me feel super confident and vibrant. I absolutely loved the colours and the floral pattern, and will be keeping my eye out for more spring/summer dresses.
