The high street has some amazing dresses this summer: from the polka-dot maxi dress from Zara to Kate Middleton’s floral midi dress.
Now, we’re having a new love affair: Topshop’s Austin floral midi dress. With draped sleeves and an open back, it’s reminiscent of the gloriously clashing prints synonymous with Rixo. But for £39 it’s a fraction of the cost.

First available in April, it proved so popular that it quickly sold out, including all the tall, petite and mini versions too. Topshop brought the original back with five new prints, ranging from monochrome polka dots to jacquard jewel-toned shades. You’ll need to be quick however as only four prints are still in stock.
It’s the perfect wedding guest outfit, cut in a form-flattering fit that isn’t too fitted nor oversized either, while the thigh high split on each leg means the long length won’t overwhelm smaller frames. If you’ve got bigger boobs, you might be a bit cautious of the open back, but you can always wear a vest top or a bandeau underneath.
Here are the ones you can get your hands on now.
