New Look fans are rushing in their hundreds to snap up a skirt with a 'hidden' feature that helps to disguise muffin tops, tummy rolls and lumps and bumps. The high street fashion retailer's £26 summer skirt is said to be as flattering as it is gorgeous to look at.

New Look's £25.99 Black Diagonal Stripe Mesh Midi Skirt is part of Nadine Coyle's Edit for the brand, and is already a bestseller thanks to its gorgeous design that will suit any body type and figure. It features a stunning monochromatic stripe design, which can easily be paired with plain blouses, shirts and vests for a chic summer outfit.

It has a mesh overlay and scalloped hemline, which both work together to give it an elevated and feminine flourish. It has an elasticated high waist which will cinch you in for a slimming effect, while ruching over the stomach area will help to disguise any lumps or bumps you may be concerned about.

New Look's £25.99 Black Diagonal Stripe Mesh Midi Skirt has been heaped with five-star ratings, with almost every review entirely positive. Fashion fans love its flattering design, and say it 'fits like a glove'.

One New Look shopper said of the Black Diagonal Stripe Mesh Midi Skirt: "Lovely skirt, so comfortable and true to size. The slight ruching of material over the tummy is so flattering. I love it."

A second said: "OMG!! Wow what a skirt, It’s beautiful, and flatters me so well. It fits to your body like a glove and there’s still room. Very stretchy for girls like me who have a big bum. I will be getting another one of these if they bring more prints out!"

A third penned: "Beautiful skirt very flattering." While another said: "True to Size! Love it! Its so comfy!"

Somebody else wrote: "Gorgeous skirt! Lovely quality and super flattering. It is very long - I’m 5”7 and it comes to my ankles. It also has no slit at the back so can be hard to walk in without waddling… fine in heels."

Commenting that it may be a little narrow for some, somebody else said: "Lovely material and very comfortable. I was worried the elastic would dig in my sides/waist but it doesn’t. Very comfy. A little narrow to walk in but lovely for an evening out on holiday and bikini cover another day."

But another added: "Excellent, the layers of material make for a very flattering look for any body type."

Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer's 'Greek goddess' skirt is said to be the 'it' piece for this summer. The £32.50 M&S Collection Pure Cotton Midi Skirt comes in two colourways - black and white.

Or at River Island, the Black Ruched Mesh Midi Skirt is £28. It comes in a whimsical polka dot pattern, and should hide a multitude of sins.
