It's wedding season, which can end up being quite the pricey time. Travel, accommodation, and gifts can cost a fair few quid, and that's before guests have even considered what they're going to wear.
Finding a wedding guest dress that can easily be worn for other occasions is a great way to make the cost feel more justified, and Next might have the perfect solution. The Love & Roses Black/White Scallop Detail Pleated Midi Dress - which also comes in green and red - is fancy enough for a summer wedding but versatile enough to be worn for other events, too.
For £68, shoppers can bag a beautiful dress with scallop detailing, polka dot pattern and a tie-waist, and the midi cut makes it perfect for formal events as well as brunches and even the office.

It's available in sizes 8 to 22 across the regular and petite ranges, and would look just as lovely with a stiletto heel as it would with a smart pair of trainers for everyday wear. The pleated skirt adds a little extra flair, and the sleeveless design ensures wearers will remain cool whatever the weather.
If this dress isn't quite what shoppers are after, they could try the Draped Sleeveless Midi Dress for £67 at & Other Stories. This one comes in a range of colours and styles from Red Floral to Dark Pink, and is fully lined for a luxurious feel. For a cheaper option, wedding guests could take a look at New Look's Green Frilly Trimmed Mesh Midi Dress which is now £32.24 down from £42.99. Also available in pink, the frilly detailing on this dress adds a romantic touch and it has a trendy asymmetrical cut.
However, shoppers who've bought the Next midi dress have rated it highly on the site. One said: "Lovely dress, fits well, could wear for any occasion."

Although all the reviews of the dress were positive, some shoppers have shared issues buying from Next online. On Trustpilot, one wrote: "The products were lovely. But items should have been ready for collection last Tuesday but were sent to the wrong store thus having to wait another 5 days before we could collect the items."
