That sell-out Topshop dress is now available in a new print for AW18 and I want it bad

Remember the sold-out Topshop polka dot dress that was selling for triple the price on eBay? Well, it hasn't come back in stock, but the good news is, it's back in a new print for autumn/winter, and it makes me want it even more.

Say hello to the zebra print pinafore dress - a bold choice I agree, but animal print is a huge trend for AW18, and this is a great way to dip into it now.

As with its predecessor, you can wear this style on its own, preferably with a minimalist sandal, or over a t-shirt and with plimsolls for a more casual vibe.

Come autumn, I'll be wearing mine over a black rollneck jumper and pairing it with some chic ankle boots. In fact, if I'm feeling particularly bold, I'll wear it with faux snake skin ankle boots. Because more is more with this trend.

The dress is so popular it's already sold out in a couple sizes, so if you don't want to have to buy it on eBay for an extortionate price, this time round, make sure you get it sooner rather than later.
