GMB’s Susanna Reid wows in £69 midi dress that ‘fits and flatters’

When it comes to picking out the perfect midi dress, Susanna Reid never fails to impress. The Good Morning Britain presenter is well known for her impressive collection of chic, flattering and adaptable midi dresses, and her latest choice is no exception.

Susanna stepped up to the GMB news desk wearing the Dark Green Angelica Utility Ponte Midi Dress from Hobbs during the programme on May 12, and it’s a prime example of just how effortlessly a midi dress can slot into your everyday wardrobe. The shirt dress is versatile enough to take you anywhere, from a relaxed Saturday brunch to a full day at the office – and what’s more is that it’s currently reduced.

Normally retailing at £110, it’s now on sale for £69, meaning savvy shoppers can pocket a saving of £41 on the Angelica Utility Ponte Midi Dress. Yet beyond being a brilliant bargain, this is a piece that will truly earn its place in any wardrobe.

Its understated silhouette makes it equally suited to dressing up or down, pairing just as effortlessly with ballet flats, trainers or loafers as it does with knee-high boots or strappy heels. The fit-and-flare cut skims smoothly over the tummy and hips, while the shirt-style bodice features a collared neckline and practical utility pockets, reports the Mirror.

Boasting luxurious touches such as gold buttons and refined seaming, the dress is crafted from a soft stretch ponte fabric, ensuring all-day and all-night comfort. The Angelica Utility Ponte Midi Dress is available in sizes six to 20, though certain sizes are already beginning to sell out.

There are plenty of other worthy alternatives worth considering, including Boden’s Zoe Short Sleeve Shirt Dress, priced at £129 and available in navy, rust and olive green. It offers a somewhat more relaxed, flowing silhouette compared to the more tailored midi style, making it a versatile choice for everything from holidays to the office.

For those seeking something lighter and more breathable ahead of the warmer summer months, Nobody’s Child’s Cream Linen-Blend Dillon Shirt Dress is an excellent option, currently reduced from £120 to £84. Meanwhile, the ASOS Design Cinched Detail Maxi Shirt Dress In Neutral Stripe is a bargain at just £55, featuring a relaxed yet waist-defining cut for a flattering finish.

Hobbs shoppers have been full of praise for the Angelica Utility Ponte Midi Dress, with one customer remarking: “Fits and flatters at the same time. Very good fabric, not flimsy.” One shopper did note: “Love the colour and style. A little disappointed with the fabric that creases easily. Fit is on the small size. Had to buy a size larger than usual.”

Yet many others were equally impressed with the Angelica Utility Ponte Midi Dress, with one enthusing: “Very nice dress, good fabric, and nice shade of green. Hangs well and its the kind of dress that you can have forever.”
