River Island's floaty £55 'Summer dress of dreams' will turn heads everywhere

River Island fans say they have found the 'Summer dress of dreams'. River Island's £55 Purple Bell Sleeve Maxi Dress has been praised for its flattering and floaty fit and 'gorgeous' pattern - which is ideal for Summer wedding guests and for occassions which require a comfortable outfit that will stand out.

River Island's £55 Purple Bell Sleeve Maxi Dress features floaty sleeves, which will cover the parts of the arms we all hate most. Its deep V-neckline flatters the bust area, while its waisted fit will cinch you in for an hourglass look.

The dress comes in a maxi length, and a tiered bottom enhances the illusion of a perfectly proportioned figure. It features a stunning paisley design for a romantic, boho Summer look - which is finished off by an elegant tie back.

The £55 Purple Bell Sleeve Maxi Dress comes in four different sizes - Extra Small, Small, Medium and Large. River Island's Purple Paisley Print Maxi Dress is also available in plus sizes. Its plus size options start at size 18, and go up all the way to size 28 - making it accessible for almost everybody.

River Island shared a video of one of its customers wearing the floaty £55 dress on Instagram, hailing it 'the summer dress of dreams'. The dress quickly caught the attention of shoppers, who were blown away by its 'gorgeous', and 'romantic' style.

River Island isn't the only high-street fashion retailer selling floaty Summer wedding guest dresses. New Look's £59.99 Pink Glitter Floral Tiered Halter Maxi Dress is also proving popular with fashion fans, while New Look's shorter length £19.99 Pink Floral Spot High Neck Tiered Hem Midi Dress offers a boho look for those who don't want a maxi dress.

The floaty £55 Purple Bell Sleeve Maxi Dress is available to buy on the River Island website.
