No matter what season we are in, a classic little black dress is something that will come in handy for all types of events.
If you’re looking to bag one, then Nobody’s Child has just launched a massive sale with a few styles available. With discounts on everything from dresses and skirts to trousers and tops, it’s the perfect opportunity to nab new season must-haves for less.
Offering a versatile style for all types of climates is the Black Gathered Tie Waist Mayall Midi Dress. Described by the brand as “your new go-to midi” thanks to its adaptable design, it is suitable for sunnier destinations and general UK weather.

Previously priced at £150, the Mayall has since been dropped to just £35, saving a staggering £115 off the RRP. It is described as “selling quick”, so if you have any fancy events planned, we’d advise bagging it while it is still in stock.
Available in the “classic” black colourway, this frock is a chic option for fashion fans who prefer an understated look, compared to the vibrant florals that tend to dominate the season. Its elegant design also boasts a flattering scoop neckline that takes away the need to over style with accessories.

One feature that we consider to be a highlight, and we think many shoppers will agree, is the self-tie belt at the waistline. This is a highly coveted feature on many frocks due to its ability to ‘cinch in the waist’, effectively creating an ‘hourglass effect’ on the body.
Its flattering design is further complimented with an all-over gathering detail that creates dimension to the dress, accentuating your natural curves. Meanwhile, its lightweight, floaty material will be perfect for wearing during the upcoming warmer weather, as it won’t cling to your body.
The long blouson sleeves don’t just add a romantic touch to the dress, but they are ideal for anyone who prefers to keep their arms covered. Falling to a trendy midi-length hemline, it is available to buy in sizes four through to 16, although we expect it to sell fast.
With its longer hemline and lightweight material, you can wear the Mayall dress in all types of weather conditions. In spring and summer, we’d advise pairing well with your favourite sandals or chunky trainers, for any at home events, or for when you are on holiday.
However, the hardworking number can also be carried through into the colder season, particularly autumn. With a pair of tights and chunky boots, it will be ideal for wearing when the temperatures drop and the weather gets a touch rainier again.
While we are certainly a fan of the Black Gathered Tie Waist Mayall Midi Dress, it does not have any official reviews as of yet. That being said, one piece of advice provided by Nobody’s Child is to ‘size up’, which is worth taking into consideration when buying.
If the Mayall Midi Dress has caught your eye, then you can buy it in Nobody’s Child sale for £35 here.
