I am pretty sure I’ve found this year’s ‘Zara Dress’ and it’s only £25

Let me start this by saying, I am horrendously fussy when it comes to choosing a'midaxi' dress.

I need it to be long enough to cover most of my calves, yet I don't fancy tripping over on the train escalator.

I want the material to feel nice on my skin. I want to look good regardless if I've eaten a full roast dinner and I want it to look smart enough for work, vibey enough for drinks and it to be completely above board to wear on the weekend.

I also don't want said dress to be 1) too expensive 2) one block colour 3) too short.

Before you ask, reader, yes I am a Virgo.

I essentially want that Zara dress but a nice, shiny new version that has been slept on.

Clears throat introducing the Midi Smock Dress from Missguided, which is a steal at £25.

It cinches in at the waist, which cleverly ensures you don't look like a human potato (lol).

The drop hem and fluted sleeves ensure it looks bang on trend and the neutral pattern? Love her.

Wear with chunky boots, white trainers or heels for a look that's hella versatile.

An outfit that can be worn again and again? Well if it's good enough for Jane Fonda at the Oscars...

Watch it seamlessly become your everyday uniform and don't be surprised if you spot a colleague adding it to their shopping basket the moment they catch a whiff of you wearing it (yes, it happened to me).
