River Island's £35 elegant and stylish midi dress will make a statement at summer and spring special occasions

The promise of spring is just a few weeks away. The warmer climes will bring special occasions including weddings, baby showers, hen dos and more.

River Island is selling a beautiful tuxedo dress that is bound to make a statement at any spring and summer gathering you have planned. The smart tuxedo style makes the dress stand out and adds an elegant touch.

It is on sale for £35 down from £70, meaning shoppers can make a 50% saving. Available in beige and black, it has buttons down the centre and a modest split. It is available in sizes 6 to 18 in both colours.

Due to its simple design, it can be worn over and over again for many different occasions. The dress is strapless so if you like the design, but would prefer a dress with sleeves, we have spotted a similar one on Debenhams.

This Tuxedo Tie Waist Midi Dress by Coast is now on sale for £76, down from £125, meaning you can save 39%. The dress was available in lots of difference colours but only the black shade is still available.
