'Vibrant' spring dress 'perfect for special occasions' cut by 25% at Debenhams (2025)

Invites rolling in? Don't worry, as Debenhams has a deal on a striking frock perfect for garden parties, weddings and more.

Spring doesn't just bring warm weather, but also the arrival of event season. If you have invites to weddings and other functions rolling in, you'll be on the lookout for a new outfit.

It doesn't have to be expensive though, as many retailers are offering sales ahead of the busy season. This includes Debenhams, with the retailer offering up to 60 per cent off everything from fashion and beauty to homeware and electricals.

For garden parties, weddings and other occasions, there is this Oasis Occasion Ruffle Sleeve Jacquard Midi Dress. Usually retailing at £89, the retailer has dropped its cost to just £66.75, allowing shoppers to save 25 per cent off the RRP.

With its "vibrant" green and pink colourway and "eye-catching" all-over floral print design, this dress will ensure you standout from the crowd wherever you go this spring. Florals are often a huge trend at this time of year, so we can imagine this will be popular.

Crafted from a lightweight, satin material, it won't cling, meaning it is ideal when the temperatures rise. It falls to a trendy midi-length hemline that ends in a flared skirt, creating an "elegant, swishy silhouette", according to the fashion brand.

Said to "move gracefully with each step", this Oasis dress won't just be ideal for when you need something breezy to wear, but its floaty material will create non-restrictive movement that will come in handy when you are on the dancefloor at weddings this year.

Its "feminine" design is further complimented with a flattering v-neckline and romantic short cap sleeves. The back zip fastening is also concealed, which tends to be a common feature on formalwear, so you don't need to worry about it being on show.

With its standout design and floaty materials, it's easy to see why the brand has said its Ruffle Sleeve Jacquard Midi Dress will allow anyone who wears it to "radiate confidence and charm."

As of writing, the 25 per cent discount was still available on a selection of sizes from a six through to 18.

Since it is classed as formal wear, our advice would be to dress it up for any fancy events, rather than any casual outings. For example, pair it with your favourite strappy heels, clutch bag and maybe even a lightweight jacket for when you are at any BBQs and the weather gets a bit chillier.

However, it can still be worn out for lunch or a light dinner, just pair it with your favourite sandals.

Although the Oasis dress hasn't amassed any reviews on the Debenhams website, positive or negative, the fashion firm has been popular for occasion wear for years, earning a positive reputation among shoppers. So, if you have any fancy events coming up, we'd advise bagging it while you can.

It's not the only retailer offering a sale for shoppers looking to update their wardrobe for the warmer weather. White Stuff is offering up to 70 percent off at the moment, with the vibrant Freya Midi Dress down from £85 to just £34.

River Island is also another popular go-to for fashion fans, and we have spotted a few items in the sale. For a fancy outing, the Pink Ruched Open Back Bodycon Midi Dress, also available in four other colours, has been dropped from £60 to £25.
