Next’s 2-in-1 Jumper Lace Skirt is receiving positive customer feedback. One buyer remarked: “The dress was out of stock for ages, but I persevered and managed to get a lovely dress. Looks great with boots.” Another shopper commented: “Love this dress, casual and comfortable but can be dressed up if needed.”
A third fashion fan agreed: “Absolutely love this dress, lots of compliments when wearing it. Looks fab with tights and boots.”
However, one customer wasn’t as impressed with how it fitted: “I thought this would be a smart casual party piece. The fabric is quite stiff, which made it bunch near the armpit. I was worried before it arrived, but at 5.4ft, it came halfway down my shins. Had to return it.”
Another reviewer commented: “Dress was out of stock for ages, but I persevered and managed to get one – lovely dress, looks great with boots.”
“This dress is so comfy and looks great on. I got so many compliments. The lace details at the bottom just make this dress look so different. I would recommend”, penned a different customer. A penultimate buyer commented: “Very easy to wear for a smart casual look.”
A final person added: “I bought this dress for Christmas Day, and I am glad I did. Very easy to wear and comfortable. A good fit, I paired it with tights and brogues, but it would look great with heels or chunky boots. Very impressed.”
