bodice." Patrons have been quick to sing its praises, showering the frock with five-star reviews for its shape-enhancing design. The Square Neck Midi Dress from New Look is garnering

plenty of accolades, currently holding an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars rating, making it a top pick for those on the lookout for a new frock. Delighted by her purchase, one customer said:

"This dress is so beautiful, managed to get it with a 25 percent discount code but it's worth full price in my opinion, the fit is perfect on me and it's so flattering, love

it." However, some petite buyers have found the fit less than perfect due to its length, with one commenting: "I'm 5ft 1 and generally have a short torso so found the straps

were a little long. Returned but would probably repurchase if there were a petite option." One satisfied customer remarked: "Stunning dress that is mid/just below calf length

(I'm 5'6). Looks amazing with a tan and makes your waist look tiny and gorgeous neckline. Absolutely love it! Fits true to normal size." Another happy shopper succinctly put

it: "Love it! Nice item." Buy New Look's Square Neck Midi Dress here. If you're looking to expand the colours in your wardrobe, there are plenty of garments available
