London Bridge station the other day, weaving around tourists with headphones in, something brought me to a halt. It was a splash of indigo and white beaming through the window of


FatFace's shop which caught my attention and, naturally, I slowed my pace to take it all in. It was the dress I didn't realise I was missing. It wasn't my intention to shop,


promise. I was already late for a train that I would inevitably miss if I lingered even a second longer. Yet there it was, a beacon of teal amidst the sea of dark navy and grey suits


enveloping me, and pulling me in to try it on, reports the Mirror. You know that sensation when you try something on and it meets all your expectations? A mere ten minutes later, I was in


the changing room, trying on the FatFace Remi Teal Blue Shibori Midi Dress, priced at £69. READ MORE: Shoppers who 'didn't want to smile' get 'much whiter' teeth in


days with 20% off kit READ MORE: Uniqlo's 'light and flowy' £24.90 dress shoppers say is a 'summer staple' The dress was a perfect fit. Soft cotton that feels cool


against the skin, flattering without being clingy, and a silhouette that accentuates my waist while gently skimming over my thighs. But it was the print that initially drew me in initially.


Inspired by the ocean, it features a deep, rich blue that is striking yet not overwhelming. Shop the look £69 FatFace Buy Now on FatFace The Remi Teal Blue Shibori Midi Dress has a deep sea


inspired Shibori print and is ideal for warmer months thanks to its 100% cotton make up. Up close, the Shibori-style pattern is organic and fluid, as though it was designed for beach days


and balmy evenings. And somehow, it manages to be both bold and soothing simultaneously. The dress's silhouette and shape, however, is the main event. The V-neckline plunges just enough


to flatter without revealing too much, while the cuffed sleeves add a touch of structure. A subtle cinch at the waist enhances your figure without feeling restrictive, allowing the dress to


gracefully skim and softly flare as you move. While I'm not a fan of the term 'desk to dinner', this dress truly fits the bill for virtually any event – even a wedding, given


the right heels and accessories. Plus, can we also take a moment to appreciate the pockets? Genuine, deep, functional pockets. It's baffling how rare - and exciting - this feature


still is, but it feels like a victory each time. The dress is made entirely of cotton, making it ideal for those sweltering summer days when synthetic fabrics are out of the question.


It's breathable and easy to pair with sandals, trainers, or even a chic wedge. Despite having only recently purchased it, I've already donned it for a dinner, a weekend brunch, and


I'm set to wear it to a brand event later this week. Another fashion find worth noting this week is Boden's versatile dress suitable for any occasion. The Anna Linen Tiered Midi


Dress may be on the higher end of the price spectrum at £136. However, Boden is currently offering a 15% discount on full-price styles with the code PQ4D, reducing the price to £115.60, a


saving of over £20 from the original price. The frock is crafted from gentle linen and boasts a shoulder smocking detail, lending the sleeves an elegant puff effect. The cherry on top? The


layered skirt comes with side pockets, allowing you to ditch your handbag (should you wish) and enjoy the freedom of stashing your essentials such as your mobile, card holder and keys


directly into the pockets. Article continues below Another charming option is Nobody's Child's Blue and Yellow Linen Floral Demi Midi Dress, which made from linen is a great option


for warm summer days and cooler nights and can easily be worn for dinners and weddings. The Remi Teal Blue Shibori Midi Dress is available at FatFace for £69.
