Vicky Pattison has found the perfect midi dress to see you through the heatwave, praising the £65 Marks & Spencer dress and ‘summery and lovely’ with a flattering fit
The incoming heatwave has got us all struggling with what to wear to stay cool and comfortable, especially if you have special plans coming up. The idea of dressing up for a wedding, graduation or even just a nice dinner might feel like the last thing you want to do in these temperatures, but Vicky Pattison has tracked down the perfect dress to get you through it.
Posting on Instagram, Vicky praised the lime green Square Neck Panel Detail Strappy Midi Skater Dress she’d picked out from Marks & Spencer for a sunny day out. Hailing it for how “summery and lovely” it is, the £65 M&S dress is light, breezy and flattering without being restrictive – perfect for a special occasion in the sun.

The M&S dress has a beautifully fitted silhouette that’s tailored around the bodice, before flowing out into a skater-style midi skirt. The Midi Skater Dress has panelling details on the body, whilst the skirt is floaty and full, with pleats around the waist to give it some extra volume.
Despite being fitted, the material is lightweight and floaty enough to still be comfortable even in hot temperatures, with spaghetti shoulder straps and a square neckline still barring a little bit of skin. Its light lime green colour is also perfectly complemented by a tan (fake or otherwise) making it ideal for the summer.
If green isn’t your colour, there’s some similar silhouettes elsewhere, including this ASOS DESIGN Boat Neck Waist Detail Midi Dress which comes in chocolate brown, cream and black and is priced at just £34. Meanwhile River Island’s Sleeveless Belted Midi Dress comes in both pale yellow and bright red for £59, and features a V-neckline with a belted detail around the waist.
For a great deal, Boden’s Annet Linen Blend Midi Dress is now 50% off, bringing it down from £149 to £74.50. It comes in blush pink, navy, and white with black polka dots, and has a slightly more relaxed fit whilst still keeping the same flattering silhouette.
However M&S shoppers have loved Vicky’s Midi Skater Dress, granting it a solid five star rating. There are currently only 10 reviews, but every single one is five star, making it a super-popular purchase for summer.
One reviewer wrote: “The most beautiful summer dress. Fabric is super light and colour is lovely.”
Whilst another said: “I have bought this dress for a wedding abroad and it’s perfect. Beautiful colour and lightweight but also looks so smart. It will need a good iron but I am otherwise over the moon with it.”
A third added: “Perfect in every way!!! Perfect colour, Perfect fabric, Perfect style, perfect fit, perfect flow. Quite beautiful!”
Whilst a fourth wrote: “So pleased with this order. Beautifully made and it is perfect for the warmer weather.”
