When it comes to statement midi dresses there are two prints that rule: leopard and floral print.

Want to treat yourself to a new on-trend buy, but can't decide between the two patterns? What if we told you there was a dress for that?

The Floral Leopard Shirt Dress from Somerset by Alice Temperley combines two of summer's most popular prints, to create the perfect fusion frock.

Plus, with its flattering shirt dress silhouette and midi length it's the perfect throw-on style for any occasion this summer, from a reunion BBQ to a special occasion.

Why we rate it:

This dress is practical as well as versatile and beautiful, made from a lightweight fabric that makes it both cool in the summer and easy to layer in the winter.

Plus, we love that it's a unique, updated take on the leopard print trend.

And it has pockets - the holy grail of dresses.

The dress comes in a midi style (which is almost sold out), as well as a slightly longer maxi design which is available in all sizes - but we'd snap it up quickly!
