Back at Next, the Linen Blend Short Sleeve V-Neck Kaftan Mini Dress holds an impressive overall star-rating of 4.6 out of five, based on 130 reviews. One customer said: “Love this dress. Fabric is of good quality and the colour is fabulous. Can’t wait to wear it.”
A second wrote: “Lovely material and colours. Very comfortable and flattering. I bought three of them in different designs. Love it.”
“I bought this for a holiday,” a third penned. “The material is lovely and the fit so comfortable. I never wear dresses but I loved this so much I bought the blue one too. So happy.”
Several shoppers have noted that the dress comes up large, which is worth bearing in mind when placing an order. “Nice,” one three-star review reads. “I only gave it three stars because it comes up big.”
Another shopper awarded the dress three stars as they ‘didn’t like the print’. They stated: “I love that there is a tall option and it’s an easy-to-wear style, but I returned because I didn’t like the print.”
On the other hand, one customer was happy with their latest Next purchase , commenting: “Great colour, quality fabric and I do love a pocket. I’d normally buy eight petite but as its loose fitting/quite roomy I went down two sizes. Great for holidays but also smart enough for daywear.”
A further five-star review reads: “This green floral kaftan is exactly what I looked for. Needed for a future holiday. It’s good value for money and a great cover up for going back and forth to the pool or snack. I took size 12 my usual and it’s true to size.”
