Uniqlo’s £25 ‘super comfortable’ dress hailed ‘perfect for summer’

Summer is just around the corner, with many people already planning their wardrobes to remain cool yet stylish when the temperatures rise. Shoppers at Uniqlo believe they have discovered the “perfect summer dress”, available in six different colours.

The Ultra Stretch AIRism Dress (Sleeveless) is currently among the top bestsellers for the Japanese retailer. It is priced at £24.90 and is available in sizes XXS to XL. Customers can select from dark brown, off-white, black, yellow, green and blue.

The dress is made from Uniqlo’s AIRism fabric, which promises “stay fresh comfort” and “quick-drying technology “.

It also boasts “ultra stretch fabric” and side seam pockets. Uniqlo’s product description states: “Flattering fit-and-flare silhouette. Versatile crew neck design is easy to layer. Contoured, fit-and-flare silhouette. Longer length creates a sophisticated impression.”

Numerous customers who have bought the dress have been impressed. One remarked: “I now have 3 of these dresses in different colours. So versatile and a great dress for holidays. Lightweight and any creases fall out after unpacking.”

“Easy to wash and quick to dry. Great dress for the price. I’m a size 10/12 but I’m 32G bra size. I find the L is the best fit on me, the M fits but is snug on the bust.”

Another shopper noted: “I struggle so much to find dresses being only 5ft! The length is great. Lovely colour and has pockets! Perfect for summer!” Someone else commented: “Very easy to wear Summer dress. Great stretch fabric. Super comfortable. Side pockets always a plus in a dress and beautiful colour.”

A fourth wrote: “Very versatile dress. Dress it up or wear as it is. Extremely comfortable to wear.”

Despite the glowing feedback, certain shoppers discovered that the colours appeared quite different once seen in person. One remarked: “A lovely, comfortable dress that’s perfect for everyday wear or travel.

“Unfortunately, the yellow colour looked different in person than in the photo. It had more of a beige/grey undertone and looked a bit washed out, instead of a nice, vibrant lemon yellow. I’ll probably order it again in a different colour.”

Another added: “I have several colours of the dress. My review here refers only to the brown colour – it has a very strange, orangey-red undertone. I was expecting a chocolate brown. It’s much more reddish, which detracts from the perceived quality and appearance for me.”

One further shopper felt the bodice was too fitted for their frame, prompting them to opt for a larger size.

Uniqlo is not the only high street retailer stocking sleeveless midi dresses perfectly suited to the warmer months. Next offers a Navy Blue Scoop Back Jersey Maxi Dress for £20.

It is available in sizes XS to 2XL and is crafted from 95% cotton. Marks and Spencer, meanwhile, stocks a Jersey Ribbed Midi Drop Waist Dress for £28, ranging from sizes six to 24 in petite, regular and tall lengths.
