Nobody's Child - loved by Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton and Louise Thompson - has brought back its beloved Cora dress and it's already selling fast
When high-street favourite Nobody's Child dropped the return of the internet-breaking and summery buttermilk yellow dress, our shopping team did a collective shriek of joy. The brand is beloved by celebrities and fashion fans alike and has a tendency of quickly selling out its dreamy dresses.
And Cora, its best-selling summer frock, is one of those. Costing £79, the Butter Yellow Linen-blend Cora Midi Dress sold out in just days online when it first launched earlier this year and as it's already labelled 'in demand', we can certainly see this happening again.
The popularity of this dress can be attributed to its pastel-yellow hue, which is a major trend this year, as well as an ultra flattering shape that hugs the wearer in all the right places and floats into an A-line skirt. It's an undeniably timeless piece.
With a sleeveless design and square neck, the dress is fastened with fabric covered buttons at the front, along with a concealed zip. A scoop waist and enhances the shape, while a lined skirt falls beautifully at just above the ankles.
Available in sizes four to 18, the Nobody's Child number isn't just available in yellow. It also comes in black, olive green, ditsy floral, striped white and black linen and pinstripe blue. Plus it not only comes in a midi length, but also a mini version too - we love the Brown Drop Waist Cora Mini Dress, £75.
If shoppers aren't keen on the Cora midi, Next has a lovely alternative in its White/Blue Floral Square Neck Puff Hem Midi Dress which, as the name suggests, comes decorated in blue flowers on a white background. While this dress doesn't have a button-up front like the Nobody's Child dress does, the Next dress costs £86 and has a similar silhouette. It also has a bubble hem for added swish.
Alternatively, Marks and Spencer's Pure Cotton Textured Midi Waisted Dress, £35, has a square neckline and shirred bodice, flowing into an A-line skirt.
Although, the Cora dress from Nobody's Child consistently receives high praise on social media with people commenting on how gorgeous it is. The brand has recently introduced reviews to its site and one glowing four-star shopper raved: "Lovely dress well made & very pretty, looks like the picture, lined so not see through, all good apart." Their only qualm was that it simply didn't suit them as they said: "It did not suit me, my hips are too wide & the fullness on them made them look even bigger unfortunate."
It's important to note that another customer remarked how the bust fit was 'tight' - although that being said, the brand recommends sizing down if between sizes to avoid it being too baggy. If in doubt, refer to the size guides.
Someone else, who bought the dress on ASOS, loved it and said: "It's a cute dress - lovely colour." With heels and some statement jewels, this yellow ensemble could be the perfect option for a summery wedding, while sandals and a denim jacket will dress it down for a casual day out.
Cora isn't the only viral dress the brand has restocked as its Brown Felicity Midi Dress, sported by Louise Thompson last year, is now back for £99, alongside its alternative pattern variations that make us seriously swoon.
