Pink Premium Floral Sleeveless Maxi Dress
Available in sizes six to 18, this floral maxi dress stands out from the rest thanks to the unusual print and crossover straps. It gives the illusion of a flattering corset style top and floaty skirt, but with the convenience of a dress. The shoulder straps are adjustable making it suitable for a range of bust sizes and the subtle zip gives a seamless finish.
At £80 it is one of the more expensive options in our round-up, but the double-lined fabric indicates it is high quality. This Pink Floral Harpriya Tiered Midi Dress from Nobody’s Child is a similar option, now on sale for half the price at £36.

Blue Long Sleeve Bardot Midi Dress
If you have a more formal affair to attend, this long sleeve bardot midi dress might be just the ticket. Crafted from a soft baby blue, it features an off the shoulder neckline that leads to long sleeves with ruffles. You will have to be careful when eating that the sleeves don’t fall into your plate which some may find annoying, but they create a statement that makes the dress incredibly eye-catching.

Black Sleeveless Spot Mix Ruffle Maxi Dress
Fashion editors and brands are going dotty for polka dots this season and this monochrome ensemble showcases them in a beautiful way. The contrasting patterns make the £69 dress look a lot more expensive than its price tag. You could keep the outfit minimal with pared back accessories, or inject a pop of colour with a bright clutch bag and heels.
This Black Spot Print Ruffle Maxi Dress from Mint Velvet gives a comparable look and it’s on sale for £59 down from £180. The whopping £121 saving means you might have more in the budget to pick up a jacket, bag and shoes.
