We've been searching high and low for great seasonal frocks in the spring sales and have found an absolute gem.

The Somerset by Alice Temperley Powder Leopard Shirt Dress is one of those rare finds that combines a designer label and a high street price tag. Plus, it has just been further reduced in John Lewis' Spring Sale, down from £99 to only £29.

Why we rate it:

Exclusive to John Lewis & Partners, the affordable Somerset by Alice Temperley collection is a collaboration between the high street store and renowned designer Alice Temperley, whose high profile fans include The Duchess of Cambridge.

While Temperley’s creations often range well into the thousands, the collection sees the majority of items under £100, our dress of the day included.

This flattering pencil cut dress nips in at the waist and has an elasticated back to nail that balance between being comfortable and flattering.
