The weather outside might still be a bit chilly, but that hasn’t stopped a lot of shoppers from looking forward to the warmer season.
In a few months from now, the sun will hopefully be shining and we will have many upcoming events to attend. If you have any wedding invitations for this year, then chances are you’ll be on the hunt for a new frock ahead of time.
One that we think is perfect for any upcoming nuptials is Next’s Black Floral Print Kew Collection Long Sleeve Maxi Dress. Costing £79, it boasts a “stunning” all-over floral print that will ensure you stand out at any function, whether that be a wedding or a garden party.

Included in the firm’s premium range that has been inspired by the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, this maxi-length number doesn’t just look amazing, as proceeds from any sales will go towards gardens’ vital work.
Crafted from a mesh material, it is a breathable and lightweight layer that won’t feel too stuffy once the temperatures rise. It also offers a princess seam and high neckline for an “absolutely flattering” fit, according to reviews.
It’s not just the all-over botanic print that makes this frock standout, as it also features long balloon-style sleeves that offer a touch of drama. As of writing, the £79 floral dress is still available to buy in sizes six through to 22, with some sizes for tall shoppers also in stock.
To complete your special event outfit, we’d suggest not over-accessorizing to allow the stunning floral print do all the talking. For example, a pair of simple kitten heels and a clutch bag is enough to compliment an already statement piece.
While the Black Floral Print Kew Collection Long Sleeve Maxi Dress hasn’t gotten many reviews as of yet, it does average a perfect five star rating based on two reviews that have praised its fit and pattern.
One of the positive reviews read: “Got this in two different colours absolutely flattering dress.”
A second shopper echoed their enthusiasm: “Stunning dress, fits beautifully, great quality fabric, fits like a glove.. love it!”
While there are no negative reviews at the moment, it is worth noting that, as a maxi length dress, it might not be suitable for ‘petite’ shoppers who might find the length to be a little long. However, it’s always worth trying on for yourself.

Meanwhile, another dress we think is suitable for upcoming weddings is New Look’s £55 Yumi Green Floral Dip Hem Wrap Midi Dress. With its dipped hemline and floaty kimono-style sleeves, its a quirky style that is sure to be popular with shoppers.
