Another commented: "I'm very happy with this purchase, really cool and easy to wear for our recent heatwave."
"I love this dress! It's so comfortable to wear which is perfect for summer days and evenings. I really love the fact that it has pockets," penned a third.
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earned the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Love this dress! Flatteringly flowy and cool and too nice to just be saved for holidays!"
"Very comfortable to wear. May buy another one to put away for my holiday!' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Fits perfectly. Lovely and soft, comfortable and flowy. Gorgeous pattern details. I call it my Lobster Dress."

We just tried Tesco's viral 'birthday cake' sandwich – and we have mixed thoughts
M&S no doubt started the latest food trend when it launched its viral strawberry and creme sando earlier this summer. Now, Tesco have unveiled its own version of the hybrid sweet treat: the birthday cake sandwich. Celebrating 30 years of the Tesco Clubcard, the limited-edition sandwich is available in more than 1,000 stores nationwide - but only until 31 August. M&S's sandwich became so popular it daily sold out in most stores across the UK, and there's similar hype mounting for Tesco's take. The idea of a sweet sandwich is derived from the Japanese fruit sando, a popular snack that includes fresh fruit, sliced white bread, and fresh whipped cream. This isn't the first time Tesco has nodded to the signature treat –14 years ago, the supermarket chain launched a strawberries and cream sandwich to mark Wimbledon. But its latest offering has a playful spin thanks to its strawberry jam and cream cheese filling with a colourful sprinkling of rainbow confetti. Better yet, it costs £3 and is included in Tesco's office-favourite meal deal (a main, side and drink for just £3.60). But is it a nostalgic homage to childhood birthday parties or a sickly addition to the meal deal line-up? Four of our team testers at IndyBest swapped their usual sarnie for the new birthday sando – here are our (mixed) thoughts.

I can see straight through Rochelle Humes' slap-in-the-face swipe at Myleene Klass after her cheating confession. No wonder tongues are wagging: LIZ JONES
Is there no such thing as the sisterhood? Solidarity? Do famous women now play out their entire lives as though in a giant game of Love Island – vying to get one up on each other while wearing a skimpy bikini and sipping spicy margs? Rochelle Humes, the former Saturdays popstrel, and her husband, JLS star Marvin Humes, are on holiday in Ibiza celebrating their 13th anniversary. Unlucky for some!

Amazon slashes 424-wash Fairy fabric conditioner mega-pack – £24 down from £40
Washing detergent and conditioner can be pricey especially if you get through a lot, but now's a great time to stock up with the current deal at Amazon. There's a mega-pack of Fairy Outdoorable Fabric Conditioner, reduced from £40 to £23.80. If your preference is for a particular popular laundry brand, then you're going to want to listen up. One of the most frustrating things is going to put a washload on and realising you've run out of laundry detergent or fabric softener. The best way to avoid the problem is to stock up, and Amazon sometimes does special deals if you're willing to buy in bulk. The current deal on Fairy Outdoorable Fabric Conditioner gets you eight bottles which last for 53 washes each. That's 424 washes in total, so if you were to do a washload every other day, it would last you over two years. The scent is Cherry Blossom and Nordic Cotton, and the Outdoorables range is designed to mimic the freshness of hanging laundry outside. If you have sensitive skin, you don't need to worry either, because it's hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. Those with children will know that during the school holidays, washing is a seemingly endless task, and so it's handy to be stocked up on supplies. Rather than lugging eight bottles back home from the supermarket, the Amazon bundle would be delivered straight to your door. The cheapest you can buy the 53-wash bottles individually is for £4.50 at Sainsburys, while at Tesco they're £5.50 each. Amazon shoppers are praising the fabric conditioner bundle, with one saying: ''Smells amazing, stays fresh-smelling for days, clothes feel soft.'' Another added: ''Absolutely scent lasts a long time, maximum satisfaction, soft and fragrant laundry.'' While a third commented: ''Very happy with the product, smells superb.'' best washing machine deals for a rundown on the biggest discounts available right now. cleaning hacks for your kitchen, The Sun Shopping's pick of the best steam mops is worth a read.
