Costing just £65, it looks much more expensive and is ideal if you love a super chic, flowy silhouette that is sure to turn heads.
Available in pale pink and a deep berry shade, the elegant waterfall silhouette with ruffle detailing makes it very similar to designer options on the market, which retail for up to an eye-watering £3,780.
This flowy, ruffled maxi dress is perfect for party season and beyond.
The dress is also available in a festive red hue.
So, if you're looking for a show-stopping dress that will earn you endless compliments at your next special event, this affordable John Lewis dress is not one to let slip away.
Why we rate it
For starters, the luxury-looking design features an impeccable silhouette with flattering asymmetric ruffle detailing around the waist and neckline, along with dramatic fluted sleeves that perfectly finish off the flowing, elegant dress.
It comes in sizes eight to 20 and is the ideal special occasion dress you'll be glad to have in your wardrobe for Christmas parties, spring weddings, date nights, and everything in between.
We particularly love the dark rose colour option for the festive season - the deep red hue would look incredible paired with gold heels and matching jewellery. In fact, we think people wouldn't believe you if you told them the dress is from John Lewis.
While the show-stopping silhouette will ensure you look and feel great, the floaty design also means the dress will be super comfortable to wear, as it isn't restrictive or form-fitting. Just imagine how good it will look swishing around on the dance floor.
While the maxi dress is a true style statement, if you're after a more smart-casual ensemble, John Lewis has brought out the same floaty, ruffled style in a blouse.
This floaty blouse is the ideal 'nice top' to pair with jeans this festive period.
The John Lewis Long Sleeve Ruffle Blouse retails for £45 and would look fab with black jeans and boots for a more low-key dress code.
The John Lewis Ruffle Maxi Dress is hands down one of the best items we've seen on the high street this year, and there's no doubt it will prove popular among John Lewis shoppers, so make sure to snap it up quickly before it sells out.
