You know, the one all the bloggers are fighting over

If you’re worried you still haven’t found the perfect summer dress (if the Next white dress and Emily Ratajkowksi Zara dress weren’t your thing that is), then worry not, because River Island may have the answer.

Enter the white maxi dress that was so popular it sold out instantly, and you’ll be lucky if you can get it in store at all.

Why the mass hysteria? Well, the long-sleeved dress features broderie anglaise detailing, so it’s the ultimate beach holiday gown, especially thrown over a bikini and paired with a basket bag.

But you can easily dress it up too with a pair of gold heels or red wedges.

The fact it’s a button-down dress helps too, as influencers have also opted to wear it as a long jacket, over a pair of jeans or shorts with a colourful top.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
