If you were to clear out your whole wardrobe and start afresh, one key piece I’d encourage everyone to add to their collection is a denim dress, with the style being a timeless ‘throw on and go’ classic for almost any eventuality. And one particular frock we’ve found has been hailed by fashion enthusiasts as ‘flattering’ and ‘very slimming’.
Priced at £40, the Very Collection’s Denim Seamed Midi Dress is stocked in sizes 8-20. The piece is crafted from 100% cotton, making it perfect for warmer days thanks to its naturally breathable qualities.
Dark wash denim is generally regarded as appearing more upmarket than paler finishes, lending the midi dress an elegant aesthetic, while the discreet back zip closure maintains its premium feel, reports the Express.

Yet it’s the tailoring that has customers singing its praises, from the figure-enhancing panelled construction to the short capped sleeves and tie-back waist feature that assists in sculpting a more defined shape. The contoured bodice transitions into a fuller skirt, producing a timeless silhouette that flatters various body shapes.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, achieving an impressive 4.7-star rating on the Very website. One delighted shopper said: “This dress has a beautiful cut. It flows perfectly and fits true to size. I ordered a 14 and I’m really pleased with it. The length is nice and long, just more than a midi length. Defo worth the price.”

“Very flattering dress. Beautiful thin denim material. Love it! Order your usual size,” said another while a third added: “Lovely denim dress, material not too heavy, very slimming.”
The dress hasn’t suited everyone’s figure, however, with one reviewer writing: “Bought recently for the forthcoming warmer season. The dress is lovely, quite soft for denim, but the skirt is much fuller than it looks in the picture, and unfortunately didn’t suit me, so sadly I had to return it.”
Yet overall, it’s proved incredibly popular, with another five-star review reading: “This dress is just gorgeous. It sits flatteringly on the hips and bust and the tie at the back belt really flatters the waistline. It’s a little long on me, I’m 5′ 2″ but it still works. Like long midi length. I got so many compliments at work on it.”
Should the Very dress not quite tick all your boxes, there’s no shortage of alternatives available on the high street, given their huge popularity this season. The Roman Denim Panel Detail Midi Dress is priced at £42 and available in three shades, featuring a v-neck and sleeveless cut in a flattering fit and flare silhouette. That said, sizes are limited to 10 through 20.
For anyone preferring more arm coverage, Boden’s Zip Puff Sleeve Denim Dress has been reduced in the sale. Previously £149, it’s now half price at £74.50, distinguished by its zip fastening, statement puff-ball sleeves and figure-enhancing panelled skirt.
When it comes to styling a denim midi, the options are virtually limitless. Since the dress does most of the work, understated accessories are ideal – whether that’s white trainers and a crossbody bag for casual outings, tan sandals and gold jewellery for summer lunches, or elevated looks with espadrille wedges and a woven clutch for holidays and garden parties.
At £40, Very’s denim dress represents one of the more budget-friendly ways to embrace the trend. Shoppers can browse the offer here.
