Thie John Lewis dress is less than £50 and perfect for your summer wardrobe. (John Lewis)

You can't beat a good midi dress. They're one of the most versatile wardrobe pieces that can be worn to the office, as a wedding guest and everything in between.

John Lewis is one of our favourite places to shop for flattering pieces and we've just spotted this AND/OR Brielle Animal Print Tiered Jersey Dress that's going straight in our basket.

Costing £49, it's a great investment item that'll get plenty of wear all year round, but it's especially great now the weather is warming up.

It also comes with rave reviews from shoppers, so we suspect this will soon be flying off shelves.

Why we rate it

Available in sizes six to 20, it's designed in a tiered style in a jersey fabric that's lightweight and flowy.

This is perfect for days when you don't know what to wear, throw it on with a pair of boots or sandals and you're food to go. (John Lewis)

We love the olive colour and the timeless leopard print, while the puff sleeves provide added volume.

Great for year-round wear, in the summer we'll we styling it with sandals, and in the winter we'll be throwing it on with boots and tights.

What the reviews say

It's become a hit among John Lewis shoppers, with many rating it "excellent" and "true to size". Here's just a snippet:

  • "Really pleased with this dress. I have worn it several times now and got compliments. I like the sleeves and the length. It doesn't have pockets."

  • "Fits well. True to size. Not too long. Good fabric, a little weight to it , but not too thin. Lovely colour - it's a keeper."

  • "This is a very comfortable and easy dress to wear and ideal for between season. Can be dressed up and down. Received many complements."

  • "Simple but stylish dress for everyday use. Not fussy, easy care and comfortable. A real staple for a busy person's wardrobe."

  • "This dress is cotton jersey and ideal for summer with sleeves pushed up or down but giving the coverage so as to not get sunburned."

  • "This is a good cut (smooths over any bumps), but there's not so much fabric that I felt swamped. The green is lovely. The puffed sleeves are a nice touch, not too puffy, but just add interest. I have had lots of positive comments - it's a keeper."
