We've actually shown you this dress once before, as part of our Dorothy Perkins summer preview, but now that it's available to buy, we thought it deserved its moment as a Dress of the Day.
The squad managed to inspect this dress "in the flesh" just a few days ago, and can confirm that it's as lovely in real life as it is in the picture. It's also available in black, and is £40. Buy it here.

I saw this on the mannequin in store and it’s gorgeous! Just like all of their other summer dresses!

Very pretty dress! Very reasonable price, too.

So pretty!
View CommentWhen I lived in the UK, Dorothy Perkins seemed a little bit “mum-sy” to me.
Have they totally revamped their image?

Ooooooooo!! It’s a clap-hands-together-with-girlish-glee moment.
View CommentHow pretty. How knock ’em out red! It looks like a lovely flattering cut. DP are only encouraging my increasingly feminine wardrobe choices (I AM female, though) of late.
Melanie – yes, I think they have stepped it up a bit, and are now braving all kinds of cuts & colours. Lemon-lime green and bright orange garments were in stock recently. (I bought a draped jersey dress in the former retina-searing shade just last week, and startled even myself by appreciating how nice it looked.) They take a fairly-recent trend, and tone it down to everyday/Sunday best wearability. Not in the TopShop zany zone, but no longer mumsy either.

I absolutely love this dress, I went to buy it and it’s out of stock 🙁

It’s okay, but the neckline looks a little too high to be comfortable there.
