We’re well into the summer holidays, so now’s the perfect time to invest in some cute dresses to keep you cool – and there’s one dress in particular from River Island that will become a staple in your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re planning to wear it to a wedding, on vacation, to or even a casual backyard barbecue, the Beige Graphic Puff Sleeve Swing Midi Dress is perfect for any occasion and is sure to earn you compliment after compliment.
The eye-catching graphic print of fruit, flowers and shells makes it the perfect piece for your next trip abroad, and it even has a similar pattern to a designer version from a high-end brand. Although it bears similarities to a dress from Dolce and Gabbana’s latest collection which retails for £2,650 at luxury fashion retailer Mytheresa, one main point of difference between the two is price, as River Islands will set you back £55.
While both dresses feature a fun ocean-themed graphic print, we think River Island’s version works better in the heat thanks to its short balloon sleeves, flowy midi skirt, and lightweight cotton material.

We love how versatile the dress is too as it can easily be dressed up with heels or wedges for date night, or paired with sandals or ballet flats during the day. Having sold out in some sizes, we suggest you grab the dress now before it runs out.
If you want to add a pop of color to your summer wardrobe, the dress also comes in a stunning green and white floral print. For those who are not into color, you can also get it in a classic black and white floral color.
Elsewhere, M&S shoppers have loved the £35 Printed Frill Detail Maxi Tea Dress and the Pure Cotton Printed V-Neck Tiered Midi Dress, which costs £39.50.
