There seems to be a new 'it' dress every summer, and this season is no different.

Réalisation Par’s Cora midi dress has taken over the internet this summer, only recently restocking many of its sizes after a 4,000 person waitlist. I mean, talk about hype.

The dress has a flattering cowl neck and is made from 100% silk georgette with a built-in slip, making it lightweight and perfect for summer. Its bias-cut makes it universally-flattering and definitely lends itself to an air of 90s nostalgia.

While the dress actually comes in three different prints, including a tortoishell and pink floral, its striped pattern (Mirage) has proved the most popular.

Described on the website as “the kind of dress you can wear to a wedding or beyond”, we’d have to agree. But dressed up or down, just don’t be surprised to find yourself ‘twinning’ with others rocking the viral dress.

The dress launched in March and has since been worn by celebs including Apple Martin and Camille Rowe.

The dress is undoubtedly eye-catching but so too is its eye-watering £325 price tag. So, we’ve hunted around and scoured the high street for some more budget-friendly alternatives.
