They also thought it would be a "nice" choice for the races and described it as "classy" and perfect for a night out, further commenting that it's "very Odd Muse." They noted it was "such an elegant and classy dress."
Some customers have turned to the review platform TrustPilot to voice their opinions on River Island, particularly regarding the larger sizes, which could be something to bear in mind when ordering online. One individual mentioned: "Lovely quality but not great sizing."
Another shopper expressed: "The quality of most clothes I've tried on are good... but the sizing is HUGE!! I recently bought some new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans and trousers and they slid down my hips and legs! They wouldn't stay on my hips! The dress was huge on me too! I've had to return most of the order (kept the UK size 4 items)."
The dress resembles the upscale Odd Muse's The Ultimate Muse Split Sleeve Mini Dress. The premium dress retails at £135, while the River Island one is priced at £42.
Both dresses share a similar structured style, complete with long sleeves, ornamental pockets, and defined waists, although the Odd Muse creation features a raised neckline and broader, more flared sleeves than the River Island alternative.
For buyers not wanting to break the bank, choosing the River Island dress represents a potential saving close to £93. River Island's Long Sleeve Square Neck Mini Dress can be purchased online here.

First MAFS UK 2025 bride revealed as stunning dental practice manager months before new series hits screens
THE first bride of Married At First Sight's 2025 instalment has been revealed - and she's been hailed one of "the most stunning" yet. The Sun is first to report how dental nurse Leisha Lightbody is first to sign up for the E4 series. 6 6 Leisha juggles her role as dental practice manager with marketing and social media roles, often showcasing her lavish getaways and glam lifestyle on Instagram and TikTok. Yet the brunette will soon be switching vacations for vows during Married At First Sight filming, which will see her say I Do to a complete stranger. A source was first to tell us: "Leisha is one of the most stunning brides MAFS UK has ever had, and she's sure to catch the eye of all the grooms on the new series - not just her own. "Leisha is obviously sworn to secrecy about being on the show, which filmed earlier this year, so there are no signs of it on her social media yet. "The cast are set to be announced next month, with the show airing later in the autumn." The Sun has contacted a rep for C4 for comment and a spokesperson said: "We do not comment on speculation. "The MAFS UK cast will be announced in the coming weeks." Earlier this summer, Leisha flashed her figure in a bridal white two-piece on holiday in Ibiza. It followed a Barcelona holiday earlier that month. The bride-to-be, who turned 30 this year, is based in Edinburgh. Married At First Sight star reveals he's found love again eight months after bitter split with ex It remains to be seen who she will be paired with in the explosive reality series - which last year produced no successful partnerships or lasting marriages. SHOW SCANDAL Meanwhile, we reported how the matchmaking show is already facing an early scandal. A show star has alleged they were "sexually assaulted on honeymoon" by their partner during filming. Cops are now probing the claims. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." The 'non-recent' claim was reported on June 14 but we are not revealing the names of those involved, or the police force, for legal reasons. Scenes surrounding the alleged victim have already been aired. It is the latest scandal to hit the Channel 4 show — now in its ninth season — which sees 'relationship experts' match up singletons. The couple first meet at the altar before the honeymoon, after which they live together in a complex in the UK before deciding whether to split up. They are also filmed at dinner parties and a commitment ceremony. Channel 4, which advertises the show as a 'bold, social experiment', initially denied a complaint had been made before coming clean. A source said: 'It's a nightmare scenario for them. 'The show's been criticised for throwing strangers together and sending them on honeymoon for viewers' entertainment. "Now it's alleged someone was assaulted after tying the knot. "It is a disastrous look for bosses.' Police told The Sun: 'We received a report of a non-recent sexual assault on June 14. "Enquiries remain ongoing.' A spokesperson for the show told The Sun: 'We are aware that a report has been made to police about an alleged sexual assault during the filming of a dinner party. 'We take any issues on the show incredibly seriously. 'Producers follow strict welfare protocols as the wellbeing of the cast is always the first priority. 'Support would be offered to anyone who wished to report a matter to the authorities, and naturally we would cooperate with any enquiries or investigations.' 6 6 6

Watch mortifying moment Lady Gaga falls to the ground just inches away from fans in awkward live concert blunder
LADY Gaga fell to the ground just inches away from fans during an awkward slip-up at her Las Vegas concert over the weekend. Pop superstar Gaga, 39, was performing Vanish Into You during Saturday night's Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena when the mishap unfolded. It began when one of her cameramen lost his balance after departing the stage and had to be steadied by a nearby security guard. Gaga calmly adjusted the crew member's equipment and continued walking - only to trip herself moments later. She managed to catch her footing and carried on singing, but stumbled again just before the word 'fly' and fell sideways near the edge of the stage. The moment, caught on fan cameras, showed the singer landing close to the front row, where audience members were watching from just feet away. One shared the clip to TikTok, writing: "MY POOR MOTHER MONSTER FALLING DURING VANISH INTO YOU [crying emoji] AND THE CAMERAMAN JUST BEFORE." Despite the tumble, Gaga was helped up and immediately resumed the song without missing a beat. The incident took place during the first week of Gaga's global tour, which launched on 16 July and will continue through to January with a final run of shows in Japan. It follows a series of stage mishaps involving other major stars. Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show when a red car she was performing in got stuck. During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables. Katy Perry desperately clings on as prop malfunctions mid-air during gig leaving audience terrified She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side. The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signaled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground. Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: "I wanna thank y'all, for loving me. "If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me." Katy Perry, meanwhile, nearly fell from a giant sphere on her Lifetimes tour in Australia and later appeared to slip on a butterfly-shaped prop during Roar. She had climbed into the huge metal structure when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle. An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy - who was clinging on to the sides - could climb down safely. With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting "go, Katy!" as she made her way out and onto the floor. 5 5

The incredible fortune Ozzy Osbourne leaves behind after hugely successful rock 'n' roll and reality TV career - following music legend's death at 76
Late veteran rocker Ozzy Osbourne has reportedly left behind a fortune worth an estimated $335 million AUD (£163 million GBP). Osbourne, who died on Tuesday at age 76 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease, amassed his wealth after a hugely successful music career spanning 50 years. The former Black Sabbath frontman and best-selling solo artist also found a lucrative late-life second career as a reality TV star with MTV's The Osbournes. Osbourne additionally founded an enormously successful business as a music promoter with Ozzfest, a travelling heavy metal festival he created alongside his wife Sharon in 1996. Ozzy rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead singer of seminal heavy metal act Black Sabbath. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The UK band went on to sell an estimated 70 million albums, but Ozzy was booted out by his bandmates in 1979. Ozzy's own solo career bested his old group's sales, selling over 100 million records from 13 albums. Ozzfest, meanwhile, was also a gold mine for the 'wild man' rocker. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Osbourne made a whopping $76 million AUD (£37 million GPB) in merchandise alone. The festival was in operation between 1996 and 2006, attracting five million fans over the years. The cumulative gross for the event is estimated at a staggering $152 million AUD (£74 million GBP). Ozzy won a new generation of fans with his MTV reality series The Osbournes. Set in his Los Angeles mansion and covering the day-to-day life with his family, the series starred Ozzy, wife Sharon, daughter Kelly and son Jack.

Pictured: Osbourne on stage in 1989 The former Black Sabbath frontman and best-selling solo artist also found a lucrative late-life second career as a reality TV star with MTV's The Osbournes. Pictured with his daughter Kelly, son Jack, and wife Sharon Osbourne Launched in 2002, the series ran for four seasons, ending in 2005. According to Parade it was a nice payday for each member of the Osbourne clan featured. Each of the Osbournes made $30,500 AUD (£14,800 GBP) an episode for the debut season. In a canny business move, the Osbournes upped their salary demands for the second season, asking $7.6 million AUD (£3.7 million GBP) for each of them. Ozzy was also a keen real estate mover and shaker, buying a condo in Los Angeles for $6.1 million AUD (£2.9 million GBP) in 2014, after selling two prestige pads in California for a total of $29.7 million AUD (£14.4 million GBP). According to the Osbourne's later splashed $ 18.3 million AUD (£8.9 million GBP) on an LA mansion in 2015. The luxury pad, made famous in their TV show, meanwhile, went under the hammer in 2013 for $17.5 million AUD (£8.5 million GBP). It was sold to buyer Christina Aguilera after Osbourne purchased it in 1999 for $6.1 million AUD (£2.9 million GBP). Ozzy and Sharon, the rocker's second wife, were married on 4 July, 1982 in Hawaii, and the couple shared three children – Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. He also shared three children with first wife Thelma Riley – adopted son Elliot Kingsley, 59, Jessica, 53, and Louis, 50. The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005. 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020.
