Next’s \u00a332 ‘Italy-inspired’ shift dress looks a lot like Dolce & Gabbana’s \u00a31,700 number (Image: Next)<\/p>\nNow that we’ve experienced our first proper heatwave of the year, fashion fans will no doubt be organising their warm weather<\/a> wardrobes before summer makes its appearance. If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect dress to wear while the sun is shining either here in the UK or while on holiday abroad, Boden has 25% off everything until next week<\/a> <\/strong>– including some real showstopper summer dresses.<\/p>\n Dresses, trousers, skirts, shoes and jumpsuits have all been reduced in Boden’s Bank Holiday sale, which you can shop here<\/a><\/strong>. Elsewhere, it’s worth turning your attention to Next.<\/p>\n The high street retailer is offering the Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress<\/strong><\/a> for \u00a332, which is a steal considering it looks like a much more expensive version. While not 100% identical, the shift dress has an uncanny resemblance to a Dolce & Gabbana piece.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Boden’s ‘spot on’ \u00a360 summer trousers new to spring sale ‘look great’ on pear shapes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE: Next shoppers race to buy \u00a344 Skechers sandals ‘so comfortable you’ll forget to take them off’<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you were to opt for the high-end Capri Printed Cotton Mini Dress<\/a><\/strong>, it would set you back a cool \u00a3850, currently slashed in half from its full RRP of \u00a31,700. That makes the Next version just under \u00a3820 cheaper than the luxury brand’s offering.<\/p>\n Available in petite, regular and tall cuts in a selection of sizes from six to 26, the \u00a332 dress is made from a lightweight linen blend that’s ready for summer. The mini dress features a scoop back neckline with side pockets and a split side hem.<\/p>\n The stand out feature of the dress, however, is the gorgeous print. The print has a European vacation feel to it, similar to the design on the D&G number which takes inspiration from the Italian island of Capri.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Roman’s Royal Blue Abstract Border Print Shirt Dress<\/strong><\/a> gives off ‘Mamma Mia!’ vibes and is available for \u00a337.20 down from \u00a342 with the discount code SHINE applied at checkout. Or there’s New Look’s White Amalfi Postcard Print Slit Hem Midi Dress<\/a>, which takes inspiration from the Italian coast.<\/p>\n The Cream Pink and Blue House Print Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress <\/a><\/strong>has been well received by shoppers, boasting an overall star-rating of 4.5 out of five based on more than a dozen reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “Very nice dress, .looks fabulous on. Bright and nicely different pattern.”<\/p>\n A second wrote: “Lovely little summer dress.
