As a fashion writer, I’m frequently asked by family and friends where to shop for specific pieces. Sometimes it’s about trending items - like the best summer linens or the ultimate basic white tee - but more often than not, the top question I get is, 'Where can I find the perfect wedding guest dress?' Luckily, I have the answer.
River Island is a dependable go-to for classic occasionwear that delivers a designer-inspired look - without the steep price tag. Known for their glam embellished styles, cool co-ords and gorgeous accessories, they really do it all. And their latest release is no exception.
River Island have released a new dress that's got everyone talking. The Green Bandage Sleeveless Bardot Midi Dress, available in sizes XS to XL, is priced at £49 and designed to flatter both regular and petite body types.

It has a flattering bardot neckline, a sleeveless design and a fitted silhouette. The shape strikes a balance between relaxed and form-fitting, featuring a bodice that softly contours the figure and a midi-length skirt that subtly enhances the shape around the hips. The lime green dress can be paired with drop earrings, heels and a matching clutch bag for a glam outfit for a special occasion. Perfect for summer weddings and graduations, this River Island dress is best suited for more formal occasions where you want to make an impression.
It's made from lightweight polyester, offering moisture-wicking benefits while being easy to wash and more resistant to wrinkles. It’s elegantly finished with a split hem and features a sleek bandage-style design for a modern, sculpted look.
My absolute favourite design detail with this dress is the cross-over bardot neckline - the most flattering neckline there is. It highlights the collarbones, creates the illusion of a longer neck, and offers a comfortable fit without feeling restrictive.
