Matalan shoppers say 'comfy and pretty' £12 Spring dress is a must after clocks went forward last weekend

After the clocks went forward last weekend, the days are finally looking brighter, and fashion fans have brought their Spring wardrobes out of retirement. As Spring is a time for new beginnings, many shoppers are looking for new but affordable staples to add to their wardrobe.

A £12.50 Matalan Spring dress has caught the eye of shoppers thanks to its 'pretty' pattern and 'comfortable' fit. The dress has had dozens of glowing five-star reviews online, and is ideal for people wanting to revamp their Spring/Summer wardrobe in the cost of living crisis thanks to its budget price tag.

The £12.50 Matalan dress is made from fabric that is lightweight, breathable and stretchy for maximum comfort. It is adorned with statement florals and comes complete with a flattering square neck, along with floaty short sleeves.

One five-star reviewer wrote: "Love this dress. Can be worn on or off the shoulder. Plenty of room and a good length. I’m 5’4” and it comes just over my knees. Could be worn over your swimwear or as a day dress. I could have gone down a size but ordered online with delivery so couldn’t be bothered to swap size as bought when on offer and smaller size not available."

Another said: "Beautiful dress for your holidays looks and feels lovely on I would highly recommend to buy this dress." A third said: "Summer dress fantastic value and price true to size would recommend it fir an everyday item to wear."

Somebody else wrote: "Great little dress for early spring. Looked great with the little black shoes. Felt so comfy and pretty. Can’t wait for weather to change. Would like another colour." Another said: "Great little holiday dress, really comfortable, went down a size ...really good value for money."

"Excellent value right length for me fits perfect would love in another colour as well as i dont wear dresses very often but feel great in this," said somebody ese. Another shopper added: "I love this dress the pattern & material is so nice, plus you can wear it on or off the shoulder, cant wait to wear it when we eventually get some sunshine!"

Some shoppers advised that the dress comes up a little big, and have suggested going down a few sizes.

The Black Floral Bardot Mini Dress costs £12.50 on the Matalan website. A similar but longer length dress, loved by ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby, can be found on the Marks and Spencer website for £39.50 River Island is also selling a dress with a similar print for £45.
