'I found my Summer dress of dreams at Fat Face - it's flattering, reversible and has pockets'

Shoppers are heaping praise on fashion brand Fat Face for a 'flattering' and practical dress with the added benefit of pockets. The £59 dress is part of Fat Face's 'dresses with pockets' range, and is reversible, so can be worn for multiple occasions, including Summer weddings, picnics, beer gardens and BBQs.

Fat Face's Summer dresses are a similar price point to those at rival Marks and Spencer (M&S). But while most M&S dresses are available in sizes 6 to 22, Fat Face's offering comes in sizes 6 to 24.

One of the most popular Summer dresses on the Fat Face website is the Anna Vine Floral Midi Dress. The floaty £59 dress is made with environmentally friendly LENZING ECOVERO viscose - a lightweight fabric that will keep the body cool when the weather is hot.

The flattering midi dress ,which comes in sizes 6 to 24, and comes in petite and regular lengths, is the perfect mix of a funky print that will stand out from the crowd, and an easy to wear shape. It features a crew neck, thick strap sleeves and pleated skirt. A shirred top adds a flattering fitted feel and the addition of side pockets keeps your possessions safe.

The £59 Anna Vine Floral Midi Dress has seen near-perfect reviews from shoppers. One wrote: "Love the pattern and fit. Nice and lightweight. Very flattering. You can reverse it but I like it with the buttons at the back."

A second wrote: "Love this dress and have had lots of complements. I like the colour and pattern. The fabric hangs nicely and great to have pockets. True to size."

"I love this dress. The fit is flattering, the fabric is comfortable and it’s a beautiful design. I’m happy with my purchase! I’m size 8 and 5’5” and it fits perfectly," wrote another.

"Great dress you can wear it with buttons at the back or front, which ever suits your mood. Lovely fabric, great colour and true to size. You can dress it up or down perfect for any occasion," praised another Fat Face customer.

Another popular Summer dress is the £65 Corey Stencil Floral Midi Dress - which is also available in petite and regular lengths and comes in sizes 6 to 24.

The £65 Summer dress features thick straps, front pockets and tortoise button detailing. It is made from a soft material that is gentle on the skin.

Last year, Lea Dzifa Seeberg, a writer at our sister site My London, bought the yellow version of Fat Face dress for herself, and was blown away with it. Reviewing it, she said: "My dreams came true. My perfect summer dress existed: sunflower yellow, sleeveless, knee-length, and with pockets."

She added: "This year year the dress is back with a slightly different design, and has been revamped with a more summery palette. But its structure remains a practical beauty."

Similar lightweight dresses with gorgeous Summer patterns can be found at New Look - where there is currently a 25% off sale on hundreds of Summer styles. Marks and Spencer also has hundreds of flattering Summer dresses with near-perfect five star ratings.

Fat Face currently has a huge sale online with Summer dresses and skirts reduced to as little as £18. You can shop everything in the Fat Face Summer sale, which includes homewear, womenswear, menswear and kidswear here.
