Just When You Thought The Zara Dress Was Over, Theres A New Rival

But now we have news for you – and we’re not sure if it’s good or bad.

There’s a new it-dress in town and it’s also from Zara. The white poplin piece is half-way between a midi and a maxi thanks to its asymmetric hem, with elbow length sleeves, round neckline, bow fastening at the back and “invisible in-seam pockets”, which sound magical and practical in one.
And at just £29.99, the dress is a full £10 cheaper than its spotty older sister.A word or warning: the new Zara dress is not one for the Phoebe “I need to live in a land where people can spill” Buffets – or you risk ending up with a red-wine disaster like this woman and her white jumpsuit.
But we do reckon it has the same roomy, one-style-suits-all vibe as the polka-dot, even if less 101 Dalmatians appeal.Surprise, it has already sold out – but HuffPost UK has contacted Zara to find out when it will be back in stock and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear.Now, we just need to decide who’s starting the Instagram fan club.[Read More: Love (Or Hate) The Zara Polka-Dot Dress?
