Boden's 'flattering and incredibly comfortable' summer dress is now 50% off
Floaty, breathable and pretty dresses are a must-have for effortless summer chic, keeping you cool as the temperature rises. With the summer season now in full swing, numerous beloved high-street stores are slashing prices, offering discounts of up to half price - including Boden.
The popular retailer has reduced the cost of its coveted Sofia Trim Jersey Midi Dress, normally ranging from £90 to £98, to just £49 for the 'Paintbox Daisy' pattern, effectively cutting it to half-price.
This particular design boasts a figure-flattering fit-and-flare shape, handy side seam pockets, and a removable self-fabric belt for added adaptability. If the ditsy print doesn't tick your boxes, the frock is also available in an array of colours like navy, black, terracotta red, poppy red, multi and bright blue, all adorned with patterns and offered in both petite and regular fit.
Sizes four through 16 are still up for grabs for the dress, which features eye-catching puff sleeves and intricate scallop trim detailing. Its jersey composition, blending 50% cotton with 50% TENCEL Modal, promises both softness and comfort – a fact that shoppers have been keen to praise.
With it's 4.5 star rating, one happy customer said: "Purchased this dress for office-to-evening days, and it's perfect - comfortable and stylish."
Echoing the sentiment, another fan of the dress wrote: "I'm in love with this dress, it's so flattering and incredibly comfortable. I wish there were more colours available."
Whilst another raved: "This dress fits so well. Even though I've gained a few extra pounds recently, it does a great job of hiding them - I'm already thinking about getting it in more colours."
Despite the majority of positive feedback, a few shoppers had issues with the sizing, particularly the length: "I am 5ft2 and it was too long even though I had bought petite. It was also a bit unflattering around the waist."
Some weren't fond of the gathered waist, stating it didn't flatter their figure as much as they'd hoped. Alternatively you could opt for the Maxi Shirt Dress with Tie-Waist from La Redoute, priced at £67.99. The dress is available in several neutral shades including dark green, navy, and black, reports the Express.
The dress has been a hit with customers, boasting a 4.5-star rating from 248 reviews. "I love this dress, I get loads of compliments and it goes seamlessly from day to evening," one happy customer raved.
Meanwhile, New Look's Dark Khaki Crinkle Texture Tie Front Midi Shirt Dress is currently on sale for £20.99, reduced from £27.99. The dress offers both comfort and style with its elasticated waist and tie front detail, and comes in versatile shades of black, dark khaki, and navy.

The 'best true crime movie out there' is a 'must watch' for The Godfather fans
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp Kill the Irishman is a biographical crime film based on the life of Irish-American mobster Danny Greene. It was adapted from Rick Porrello's book To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia. The film's synopsis reads: "Kill the Irishman tells the true story of Danny Greene, a scrappy union representative who rose through the ranks of the Cleveland underworld and became a force to be reckoned with, ultimately engaging in a turf war with the Italian Mafia." The narrative focuses on Greene's ascent to power and his subsequent assassination, both depicted in the film. It delves into Greene's ambition, his face-offs with the Mafia, and the ripple effects of his deeds on organised crime in Cleveland and beyond. Helmed by Jonathan Hensleigh, the movie boasts a star-studded cast including Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Val Kilmer, Christopher Walken, Linda Cardellini, Tony Darrow, and Robert Davi, among others, reports the Express. (Image: Code Entertainment, Dundee Entertainment, Sweet William Productions) It has won over gangster film buffs, with one IMDb reviewer raving: "Great cast, great acting, and an absolute must-see for mafia-philes. "Unlike many bio-dramas, this one moves along at a rocket pace, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats." Another fan dubbed the film as "very underrated". Upon its release, the film garnered mixed reviews and was criticised for its similarities to Martin Scorsese's iconic "Goodfellas" (1990). (Image: Tommy Reid) It received a split reaction, with a Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of 63%. Reviewers say, "Kill the Irishman may not add much in the way of new ingredients to its crowded genre, but the admirable efforts of a solidly assembled cast add extra depth to a familiar story." Fans were eager to defend the film, as one audience member labelled it "the best true crime drama out there," and another professed their adoration, declaring they "absolutely love this [film]." Kill the Irishman is up for streaming on Amazon Prime.

Pippa Middleton's affordable Grand Prix wedge espadrille heels are selling fast
Pippa Middleton copied her big sister Kate with a comfy-looking pair of espadrille wedges from a readily available brand Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has been spotted on countless occasions in a certain pair of espadrille wedges, wearing them with everything from wide-leg jeans to flowing midi dresses for all kinds of occasions. Now, her little sister Pippa Middleton has followed suit, choosing to sport the comfy-looking shoes to the Silverstone Grand Prix over the weekend. The wedges in question are Castaner's Carina self-tie canvas wedge espadrilles, £120 on Selfridges. Word has gotten around about Pippa's shoe choice because there's now limited stock in many of the popular sizes. So, if you're keen to get a pair of your own, we'd suggest acting fast. As we say, Kate is also a big fan of this exact style of wedge, having worn them on many occasions, including the Chelsea Flower Show and Henley Royal Regatta. It's also easy to see why the Castaner Carina shoes are a top Royal pick for casual and more dressy events. The espadrilles are made from 100% canvas and feature self-tie fastenings, closed round toes, woven patterns on the sides, all-over canvas texture and, most crucially, a comfy low wedge heel that measures 2.3". Essentially, it's the perfect shoe choice for days when you're spending a lot of time on your feet but you also still want to look polished. If you love a bargain, La Redoute is also offering a version of the Carine canvas wedges for £64.99 in a slightly darker colourway. However, stock is dwindling fast. If you're interested in the rest of Pippa's F1 outfit details, she also carried a new accessory to the racing event: Emmy London's Mabel Bag in the tan leather colourway, £595. As for her dress, it's from Usisi Sister and is priced at £415. Currently, stock is still available in sizes S through to XL. Her jacket, which matches perfectly with the bag and heels, is an old-season Sezane piece. Although the Castaner wedges aren't breaking the bank by royal standards, the £120 price tag on Selfridges may be a little steep still. If this is the case, we've managed to track down an almost identical pair at Crew Clothing which will save you some pennies, with the Faith Classic Heeled Espadrille priced at a much for budget-friendly £60. The Faith sandals mirror Princess Kate 's thanks to their espadrille style, with a jute wedge heel and suede closed toes. The suede is made from real leather and comes in a range of three colours, including beige, pale pink and black. Alternatively, we also love New Look's versions, the Off White Faux Leather Woven Closed Toe Wedge Sandals, £35.99. Their adjustable strap and wedge heel ensure a comfortable fit, while the raffia trim and ribbon tie detailing around the ankles give the shoes an elevated feel.
