Fashion fans love Fat Face’s ‘flattering’ summer dress

Shoppers are probably familiar with Fat Face for its laid-back, comfortable aesthetic, which caters to those who enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle. In recent months the brand has released a wealth of on-trend pieces that have impressed fashion fans — from its popular geometric trousers ideal for festival season to its macrame cross-body we’ve been wearing daily.

And now that summer is officially here and the weather is finally getting warmer, the brand’s new Adele Mirrored Paisley Midi Dress (£69) is at the top of our wishlist. This colourful piece features an intricate paisley print for a fun boho look, and an elasticated waist to provide a comfortable fit while defining the waistline.

It also has adjustable puff sleeves that can be worn on or off the shoulder if you want to change it up, and pockets — a much-appreciated feature for any outfit. With a range of ten sizes, the Adele Mirrored Paisley Midi Dress is designed to flatter every shape and size. What’s more, you have the option to choose between two fits: short and regular, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. 

It’s easy to style for any occasion, pair it with flat sandals and a straw hat for a relaxed, summery daytime look, or dress it up with wedges and statement earrings for a date night. Although it looks fab on its own, it would work equally well with a denim jacket for cooler days. 

Fat Face shoppers are impressed with the midi dress, with one glowing review saying: “I ordered this dress for a casual summer wedding (along with several others), thinking that it really wasn’t very me and not what I would normally order, but I absolutely love it!

“It’s a perfect fit and very flattering. The colours and pattern are actually really lovely without being too much.”

Another fan remarked: “It would suit any occasion from smart to casual, giving you endless styling options.” While, one buyer said it was a “stunning dress (that is) perfect for summer or a special occasion, allowing you to dress it up or down as you please.”

Although it has little negative feedback, some shoppers complained the £69 price tag was too high. In that case, this paisley maxi dress is currently reduced to £48 from £80 at Monsoon — although it’s selling out fast, with only two sizes left in stock.  

For those seeking a slightly different style, French Connection offers a charming alternative. This version features embroidered detailing and an appealing pleated v-neckline. It’s available in a range of sizes and is currently discounted from £95 to £47, making it a great value option. 

But for those who can’t resist the Fat Face option, you can shop the Adele Mirrored Paisley Midi Dress via the brand’s website. We suggest snapping it up if you’re tempted, though, as we reckon it’ll be a sellout.
