Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt jokes that she looks ‘like an Easter picnic blanket’ in waist-cinching Next midi dress
If you’re looking for spring dress inspiration, Scarlett Moffatt has found the perfect Next buy that flatters all shapes and heights. Posing for new social media snaps in the high street brand’s Pink/Purple Seersucker Bandeau Midi Summer Dress, the Gogglebox star jokes that she looks like a picnic blanket – but of course, she looks incredible.
“Feeling like a little lilac Easter picnic blanket,” she captions the series of pretty snaps. “Dress I bought from Next, bag was a gift from my auntie, and the shoes are Bottega (that fun fact I got when I filmed an advert in Istanbul”.
You can pick up Scarlett’s exact dress for £42 on Next’s website, but you’ll have to be quick because the item is flying off shelves. Though the lilac colourway is ideal for Easter weekend, the dress also comes in a gorgeous butter yellow shade (the ‘it’ colour for spring/summer), and a monochrome colourway. If you pair this midi with a good pair of heels and a dainty clutch, it’ll give you a great wedding guest look.

So what makes it special? Breezy, easy and made for sun-soaked days, this Pink/Purple Seersucker Bandeau Midi Summer Dress from Next hits the sweet spot between casual and considered. The seersucker fabric gives it a light, airy feel that’s ideal for warmer weather while adding just enough texture to keep things interesting. The bandeau neckline sits neatly across the shoulders, creating a clean, flattering line that works just as well for city strolls as it does for beachside lunches. Plus, the waistband detailing makes it so that your waist looks perfectly cinched without you feeling constricted.
The A-line skirt offers movement without fuss, giving the dress a relaxed silhouette that still holds its shape. It’s a piece built for repeat wear—comfortable, uncomplicated and very versatile. Paired with white trainers, it leans into laid-back daytime ease; switch to sandals and a crossbody bag and it’s holiday-ready without trying too hard. A proper summer staple that does the work, so you don’t have to.
Scarlett pairs her Next dress with matching silver and lilac sandals, delicate gold jewellery and a neutral-toned bag. We think we can all agree on the fact that she looks much more chic than a picnic blanket!
Speaking of dresses that are perfect for this upcoming events season, we have another recommendation: Nobody’s Child’s Butter Yellow Puff Sleeve Zola Midi Dress, £120. This stylish midi features a flattering empire waistline, which can help to balance the silhouette and elongate the torso. The puff sleeves and feminine bow detail at the back add an extra touch of glam and drama to the simple dress shape.
The dress is currently available to shop in all sizes. However, it has been labelled as a ‘selling quick’ product on the Nobody’s Child website, so we predict this piece will soon sell out.
