River Island's 'instant slimming effect' £45 dress is the perfect spring wedding guest option for mid-size figures

River Island shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a £45 dress that has an instant slimming effect, and is perfect for upcoming spring and summer weddings, as well as holidays and nights out. Ruched dresses are flattering on all women, but especially for mid-size figures as the dress hugs the body and accentuates natural curves whilst effortlessly concealing any tummy rolls and other trouble areas.

And if you are after the Kim Kardashian look, but without paying the Beverly Hills price tag, then look no further than River Island. The high street retailer is offering a stunning grey bodycon midi dress for less than £50, which would be perfect for any upcoming weddings or posh events planned for throughout the year.

River Island's Grey Plisse Ruched Bodycon Midi Dress comes in at £45 and we think it looks a lot more expensive than its modest price tag. The budget-friendly number has been fabricated from a non-iron and non-itch pleated fabric, that will remain comfortable to wear all day long.

The standout feature is, of course, the ruched detail that cinches the waist at the front of the skirt, as well as the split hemline which adds a sexy and practical touch to the piece. The dress features a high crew neckline, which is ideal for women with larger busts who would rather not have the girls on show, but the backless design ensures the dress still has sex appeal.

The Grey Plisse Ruched Bodycon Dress has been cut to a midi length, which is flattering on both petite or taller women. This
