They also do a Sponge Bob hoodie, a quick search of their website has revealed. Just in case pringles didn't disgust you enough

What the F is up with dresses at the moment? Clearly along the same lines as the Zara dress... Who would look good in this?

I have to admit at seeing a J Crew version and thinking that looks nice before slapping myself.

There was an article in the Guardian this weekend about that bloody dress as well. I can’t remember the last time there was such a fuss over a piece of high street clothing.

Next did a couple of dresses about 10 or 15yrs ago (Christmas party dresses I think) that people went gaga over I think. I didn't understand that either!

I’ve seen a Next version of the Zara dress now too. Not in real life though. Basically we’re going to see a lot of copies of it now too.

I wonder if people genuinely like them or just like being part of the hype? They should do those studies where they hang the same item in Primark, M&S, Boden and somewhere currently popular, like Zara, and see how it influences if they like the item without the furore around it.

I always find Zara to be a mishmash of utterly insane things. I'm surprised this doesn't have a fishnet panel over the bum.

Why? It’s not as though the original is very expensive.

Topshop have a copy too. Probably more expensive than Zara!

They just all copy each other, don’t they? The thing with a Next version is that it will cater to larger sizes, unlike Zara.

Has it made it to the States yet?

I don’t mind it but it actually doesn't look great on that many people. This whole prairie dress thing is not for me.

I like it. I saw a woman wearing it at Wrest Park and she looked really nice. I think the idea it would suit anyone is rubbish (I would look TERRIBLE in it :lol: ), and the ubiquitousness silly, but I don't think it's horrible.

I dislike anything with the weird divan ruffle.

That’s definitely the most offensive bit.

I haven’t seen it here yet - on anyone or in the shops.

I don’t usually like that style of dress but I think the thought of being cool and comfortable in this heat is drawing me to it.

I prefer this J Crew version though as I think the Zara one would drown me.
