I’m a size 16 & tried summer dress from Next – my kids joke I look like a Victorian doll, but I need it in more colours

A MIDSIZE mum has found the perfect summer dress in Next – after fearing she’d look like a Victorial doll.

Zoe Sullivan, who shares 12 kids with husband Ben, loves doing clothing hauls for her bumper brood but rarely buys anything new for herself.

In a recent clip, however, the 43-year-old revealed she’d picked up a new wardrobe staple in Next.

On her vlog Zoe, from Lossiemouth, Moray, modelled a white tiered frock with short sleeves.

She said: “This is from Next. I’m being pretty brave, going for white.

“It’s like a shorter dress, it looks like a night shirt. Hopefully it doesn’t look like a night dress on because if it does, it’s going back.

“It’s a bit baggier and I don’t like showing my legs that much but I thought this might be quite nice.

“We did run the risk, as the girls said, of looking like a Victorian girl. But it’s actually really nice. I quite like it.”

The mum added: “It’s not something that I would normally wear. I don’t really wear dresses very much but it’s nice to have something like that to wear every now and again, and I’m trying to change my style up a bit.

“I’ve hidden in leggings for years. It’s nice to have something different to wear.

“This is a size 16 from Next. I might get it in one of the other colours.”

The £22 dress comes in seven colours including orange and pink.

And social media users are loving the bargain buy.

One gushed: “I love the white dress!  It looks great!

“I find myself gravitating towards this style lately.  You can dress it up with jewellery or down with sneakers.”

A second agreed: “The white dress looks wonderful Zoe you will find that it is so easy and comfortable to wear. I have one in every colour.”

Meanwhile, a third added: “The dress is lovely on you Zoe . Well done for getting out of your comfort zone ( trousers ) as it makes you look great.”
