There’s nothing better than knowing you’ve nailed your holiday wardrobe before you even start packing, and a versatile and comfortable mini dress is one piece you can’t go wrong with. And if you’re already worrying about to pack for your upcoming getaway, allow us to introduce you to the ultimate holiday dress.
Next shoppers have been racing to snap up the Floral Embroidery Strappy Foldover Mini Summer Dress for £48 after it’s been hailed as a “super little dress for holidays” in reviews. It’s available in sizes six to 26, and there are regular, petite and tall length options to choose from.

As well as a range of size options, the Foldover Mini Summer Dress comes in six different colours and prints, from neutrals like black and chocolate brown to playful holiday-ready prints and patterns. Although the navy and white stripes and the red fish print versions bring some colour and whimsy to your vacation, the white with blue embroidery is a more subtle nod to sunny European destinations.
It’s been designed with an easy, breezy silhouette that’s primed and ready for throwing on in the heat, whether it’s by the pool, for dinner and drinks, or even just at home while pottering in the garden. The cami straps are adjustable to get just the right fit, and there are side pockets handy for storing room keys, money or your phone in.
The Foldover Mini Summer Dress is made from a linen blend, with 20% linen and 80% livaeco viscose. Whilst this does mean it’s not quite as light and breathable as a higher linen blend, or 100% pure linen, it does mean that it’ll be less likely to crease during wear or while in your suitcase.
If you prefer a higher linen content, the Twist-Detail Linen Mini Dress from COS has 70% linen in it, with a classic shift style that works on holiday and in the office. It’s also currently on sale down from £85 to £42.
Alternatively, Nobody’s Child’s Linen-Blend Palma Mini Dress is 70% organic cotton and 30% linen, meaning it’s incredibly breathable and lightweight, with five colours to choose from and a sale price of £41. If you prefer cotton to linen, this Cotton On Shift Mini Dress In Remi Polka Dot is just £30 and made from 100% pure cotton and offers wider straps and an A-line fit.
However, Next’s Foldover Mini Summer Dress has been a big hit with shoppers already, who’ve hailed it a great holiday buy. One said: “I bought this a few weeks for my holiday, it’s a great fit and very cool for the warm evenings.”
Whilst another agreed: “Super little dress for holidays and hot weather. Nice fabric, fun print, easy to wear. Size 8 fitted true to size. Great purchase.”
A third agreed: “Lovely mini dress with pockets. A line shape and really nice material great for holidays and hot weather.”
Some were less impressed with the Foldover Mini Summer Dress though, saying: “Nice little dress but did nothing for me – also very short.”
A different shopper complained: “If only this dress was the beautiful bright green as shown in the image. Quite a dull green. Sadly had to return it although the dress is a lovely fit.”
But others praised it, with one saying: “Love this dress it’s flattering and lovely colours,” and another agreeding: “So beautiful and comfortable dress.”
