Spring has sprung, and that means it's out with the winter wardrobe and in with the flowy, breezy dresses, perfect for a stroll in the park or a sunny coffee date with friends. Fit and flare designs, specifically, are all the rage right now — their timeless, flattering silhouette offers ultimate versatility, thanks to its structured bodice and looser skirt that skims the waist and hips to suit all body types.
This season, butter yellow has been one of the most popular colours in fashion, due to its calming, sophisticated alternative to brighter shades. The pastel hue also provides a softer, more approachable take on the colour.
So what if we told you that we've found *the* perfect dress that combines both of these elements?
Enter, Primark's textured corset midi dress in the most gorgeous butter yellow shade. On the racks for just £20, the dress wouldn't look out of place in higher-end, more expensive high street favourites like Zara or Urban Outfitters.
As for the finer details of the design, the dress features a corset-style bodice in a crinkled fabric, while the square neckline and wide shoulder straps give it an elegant feel. The top and skirt are separated by a gathered seam at the natural waist, which leads into a flowing midi skirt in the same crinkle effect. Elsewhere, the concealed back fastening keeps the fit neat, as the overall vibe of the piece gives romantic, milkmaid-inspired feels.
Wondering how to style the dress, whether it's for a summer garden party or a bottomless brunch? Take a leaf out of the model's book and keep things simple with a pair of brown ballet pumps and a straw mini bucket bag. Jewellery-wise, less is more — opt for some chunky gold earrings and a bangle.
