I bought this Zara dress and so have at least 10 other people I know

I don't mean to brag, but I think I've found the perfect summer dress, and my friends all agree with me.

It all started when I visited the Zara showroom to take a peek at their summer collection. Amongst the many racks of pastel and neon goodies, this white number stood out to me immediately in its simplicity.

The spaghetti straps, slightly curved bodice and full skirt all gave it that classic-in-the-making potential.

It hadn't launched yet, so I waited and waited, refreshing the Zara website everyday until finally, it appeared, for the very friendly price of £39.99.

I tried it on yesterday when it arrived, and what can I say? It's even better than I remembered, and quite possibly the most flattering thing I've worn in a while. So excited was I that I immediately shared it on my stories, and got so many compliments.

In fact, at least 10 people I know have now either bought it or are about to, testament to the dress' power.

So my advice to you: get it before it sells out, you won't regret it.
