Versatile John Lewis dress you can style for any occasion now on sale
Torrential rain, gusty winds, stubbornly low temperatures... spring, wherefore art thou? It's time to take matters into our own hands and start dressing for the weather we want instead of the weather we have — starting with this must-have floral dress from John Lewis, especially now it's on sale.
We've fallen head over heels in love with the versatile and lightweight John Lewis Agnes Tea Dress, which features three-quarter length sleeves with ruffled cuffs, pleated detailing at the neckline, and a midi-length skirt.
Originally costing £65, it can now be all yours for £52. While it's an investment, it's versatile enough to be worn all year round, as well as styled for pretty much any occasion. Shoppers who have already got their hands on the number are singing its praises for how "comfortable and elegant" it is.
The colourful green print can be dressed up for big occasions or down for everyday wear.
Currently reduced by £13 as part of John Lewis's spring savings event that runs until 22 April, here's why it deserves a spot in your wardrobe.
Why we rate it
For starters, the green and cream pattern exudes springtime, but in a subtle, not overpoweringly floral way.
The ruched bodice and blouson sleeves make the dress look so much more expensive than it is. One shopper agreed that although the dress silhouette is rather simple, the finishing touches "elevate this dress to another level".
The dress has also been designed to be super flattering on your figure. One shopper even said that it "fits like a dream" and is a "joy to own".

Keeping the warmer weather in mind, this tea dress has also been made from a super lightweight fabric to keep you cool on summer days. It also means it's a great throw-on number, with one shopper saying they recently chucked it in a suitcase for a holiday and it didn't crease at all.
The versatile nature of this dress means that it can be styled for any occasion. Going to a wedding? A pair of heels and some elegant jewellery will elevate the look. Heading to the office? Throw on a blazer and trainers.
We foresee this dress flying off the shelves as John Lewis has really knocked it out the park with its own-brand spring and summer dresses this year. In fact, this shirred midi dress in a similar style sold out within days, so you might want to get your hands on this pick as soon as you can.
What the reviews say
It may only have nine reviews on the John Lewis website at the moment, but the Agnes Tea Dress has already garnered a stellar 4.7 out of five star rating. Here's what customers are saying:
"The perfect spring dress! Fits like a dream, beautiful material, and my joy to own!"
"I bought this beautiful dress for a wedding and it is perfect, although the pattern is simple, the styling is not. The sleeves and rushing on the front elevate this dress to another level."
"A beautiful dress, well-cut and not oversized. So figure-flattering, actually gives my slim frame shape."
"Looks good all day, very little creasing, flattering fit for those with curves."
"The fabric hangs well and has a soft feel. Bought for a Spring visit to Spain so was lightweight and comfortable and didn't crease in the suitcase. It fitted well which pleased a "petite" customer."
