Shoppers say the dress is ‘very versatile’ and ideal for taking on summer holidays
Summer is almost upon us, with many planning outfits to stay cool yet stylish when the heat comes. Shoppers at Uniqlo believe they have found the “perfect summer dress” that comes in six different colours.
The Ultra Stretch AIRism Dress (Sleeveless) is among the current bestsellers for the Japanese brand. It is priced at £24.90 and comes in sizes XXS to XL.
Shoppers can choose 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 has “ultra stretch fabric” with side seam pockets. Uniqlo’s description reads: “Flattering fit-and-flare silhouette. Versatile crew neck design is easy to layer. Contoured, fit-and-flare silhouette. Longer length creates a sophisticated impression.”
Many shoppers who have purchased the dress have been left impressed. One said: “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 added: “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 positive reviews, some shoppers found the colours of the dresses to look different in person. One said: “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.”
While another shopper thought the bodice of the dress was too tight for them so they sized up.
