If you’re a regular Yahoo Canada Lifestyle reader, you’ll know we have a particular affinity for Anthropologie’s Somerset Maxi Dress.
A cult-favourite among Anthropologie shoppers, the “universally flattering” dress has become one of the retailer’s most sought-after styles, earning the approval of thousands of shoppers and two of our very own Yahoo Canada editors.
While the Somerset’s summer dresses are perhaps its best-known (P.S. — several of them are on sale), the collection’s new fall and winter styles are already winning over shoppers. To get your hands on this year’s perfect holiday dress, scroll below.

The details
Anthropologie’s Somerset Maxi Dress is the retailer’s “bestselling” and “best reviewed dress, ever.” The versatile style has been dubbed the dress equivalent of the “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants,” thanks to its V-neck design and figure-flattering smocked waist.
The Somerset is available in petite, regular and plus sizes — and comes in an array of colour, print, fabric and length options. While the cotton version of the maxi dress went viral this past summer, we expect to see the shiny Somerset make the rounds come holiday party season.
For those who aren’t fans of the lustrous fabric or would prefer one of the brand’s famous printed styles, the Somerset collection includes mini dresses and varying lengths of skirts: Click here to see them all.
What people are saying
Since Anthropologie’s 2023 holiday collection is still relatively new, the shiny Somerset has yet to collect any reviews. However, fans of the original Somerset say it’s “universally flattering on so many body types” and call it “pretty much perfect.”
“It’s comfortable, feminine, well-made, looks beautiful and even has pockets,” writes one shopper. “I get compliments every time I wear [it]. It’s also convenient because it can be dressed up or down and it works as well for the office as it might for dinner or brunch. I would own this in every pattern and colour if I could.”
It’s a “dream dress,” says another. “So comfortable and beautiful.”
