New Look shoppers have been racing to their nearest store to get their hands on a £16 dress fans claim is great at 'hiding a bloated stomach'. The high-street retailer's Jersey Frill Sleeve Mini Smock Dress currently stands at a solid 4.4 out of five star rating, with plenty of positive reviews online.
Many pleased customers also say the frock is 'perfect for summer' and is not only 'comfortable' but 'flattering'. The dress is currently on sale for £15.99 and comes in sizes six to 22.
Shoppers have the choice of eight colours: Black, Grey, Green, Blue, Red, Pink, Hot Pink and Bright Orange. The dress is made of a soft and lightweight jersey cotton fabric - helping wearers feel cool in the hot summer months.
It also features a crew neckline, short frilly sleeves and an oversized fit across the waist and below - making it ideal for covering up any unwanted 'lumps and bumps'. A description of the dress on the New Look site reads: "Proving plain can be pretty, this black smock dress features a frill sleeve for a cute touch.
"An an-year-round essential, wear it with tights and boots now, and shorts and trainers when the temperature rises." Many shoppers who have purchased the gown admit they like it so much, they plan on buying it in more colours, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
Several reviewers praised the garment's 'flattering fit', claiming it's ideal to wear when they're feeling bloated and want something to disguise their tummy area. One reviewer who shared images of herself in a red version of the dress commented: "Nice dress. Flattering length and fit. Wanted something a bit baggy as I felt bloated but it wasn’t frumpy. Nice colour."
Vicy wrote: "I bought smaller than my usual size. Normally a 14-16 and bought a 12. Cute with tights/leggings and boots or sandals in the summer. Versatile." A third stated: "Comfortable. Good quality."
Hez63 put: "Love this smock dress. Cool for summer. Bought the midi version first and I love it so decided to get the mini version too. Perfect for summer." April typed: "Super cute and a nice fit! Stunning colour also. Comfy material!"
