Word of mouth is always the best way to source a hidden sartorial gem, and three of my editor friends have bought this ASOS Design dress, which makes me think it's a good investment.
In the office, our digital beauty editor Katie and fashion editor Lucia have already bought it. They're both expecting and have found it's perfect for pregnancy style, thanks to its full skirt and high waist, which leaves plenty of space for a growing bump.
And it's not just a hit with mums-to-be. My pal Frankie Graddon, recently highlighted the dress in her weekly The Wingwoman newsletter, and posted a snap of herself wearing it on Instagram too.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't need anymore convincing to snap it up as well. With its shirred bustier and puff sleeves, it has that nostalgic feel to it, though I'll give it a modern twist by wearing it with a pair of Tevas or minimal sandals.
At £38, it would be rude not to.
