Christine Lampard wowed fans during her appearance on Lorraine this week, with a flowing white midi dress that hails from Michelle Keegan’s very own fashion line
Lorraine viewers were thrilled when they tuned in yesterday (July 10) and discovered Christine Lampard was appearing on the show. They were even more impressed with her chosen outfit for the show, which was a beautiful flowing white midi dress which Christine later revealed on Instagram was part of Michelle Keegan ’s collection with Very.
Her exact dress was the Pleated Corset Sleeveless Dress , which is currently on sale down from £70 to £56 saving you £14. The structured shape and soft white colour were a great nod to the Wimbledon whites trend that’s still dominating as we head towards the end of the tennis tournament, and would make a great last minute outfit if you’re planning on attending any Wimbledon events.

Christine said she was “loving” the dress, and a quick look reveals it’s still available in all sizes from a six to a 20, with Very recommending you take your usual size. It has a midaxi length which measures approximately 54.5 inches and is designed to land somewhere between a midi and maxi dress, although where it falls depends on your height.
The fit and flare shape of the Pleated Corset Sleeveless Dress also makes it flattering on all body shapes and sizes, with a fit and flare silhouette which is fitted on the top before flowing out around the hips to create some movement. The corset-inspired bodice and dropped waistline also help accentuate and create the illusion of curves for a feminine shape.
Although its structure and shape are what make the dress such a statement, it can make it lean a little more formal than you might want for everyday wear. For a slightly more casual look, this White Sleeveless Tiered Charlie Midi Dress from Nobody’s Child is a great alternative, and it’s also on sale down from £85 to £72.25.
It keeps the same fitted on top, flowing midi skirt silhouette, but rather than a corset bodice, it has a stretchy shirred top with a tiered skirt that keeps it more laid back whilst still looking elegant. For something a little more holiday-ready, the Sleeveless Crochet Patch Maxi Dress from ASOS is £40 and has crochet detailing on the top, with a maxi length skirt that has less volume than Christine’s Very one.
Very shoppers have been loving the quality and fit of the Pleated Corset Sleeveless Dress , however. One called it a “Lovely dress” and added: “I am so pleased with this dress. The neck is slightly tight but as over all it came a little large for me so I won’t be sizing up. It’s a very heavy dress so fits nicely and hangs well.”
Another shared: “I wore this dress to a funeral, it was very beautiful.”
The main issue most found was with the neck with one saying: “I originally ordered a size 12 that fit like a glove but strangled my neck. So I ordered a 14, as I love the dress and really wanted it, so I thought the neck wouldn’t be as tight. The neck was the same on the size up aswell. I’m gutted as I really wanted to wear this to Royal Ascot. All sent back.”
And another agreed: “The dress is very pretty and fabric feels decent quality, but the neck it quite high, stiff and tight which makes it uncomfortable.”
However others loved it despite the snug fitting neck, with one saying: “This dress is absolutely stunning! The quality for the price is amazing, considering I nearly bought a very similar dress for £198 I was so pleased I came across this. Only problem is the high neck felt like it was choking me. The zip is very delicate so had to size up so it didn’t break. Hoping once the bigger size arrives the neck area is solved as I can’t wait to wear it. If your curvy I would suggest sizing up.”
