These dresses are also a staple for the suitcase if shoppers are planning to travel abroad over the next couple of months to take in the tropical air. Normally designed to be lightweight, this dress can be slipped into a bag without taking up too much space.
For those in the market for a new dress, New Look shoppers are currently raving over the Broderie Anglaise V Neck Mini Dress. Normally retailing for £27.99, shoppers can grab certain colours for only £16.79.
Available in seven different colours, shoppers are left spoilt for choice. To get the 40 per cent discount, shoppers can buy either the black, white, blue, bright red or orange dress. However, green and pink options are also available at the slightly higher - but still discounted - price of £20.99.
Crafted from 100 per cent cotton, the summer dress includes a relaxed fit with a flattering V neck, reports Essex Live. Featuring three buttons and an elasticated waist, this stylish dress incorporates embroidery into its design to create a fun and unique look.
Along with a back waist tie so shoppers can tailor the dress to their preferred fit, this mini-length dress is said to be an effortlessly stylish pick for sunny days no matter which colour shoppers choose.
For those wanting something a bit longer, New Look has also reduced the price of their Red Gingham V Neck Midi Dress.
Normally priced at £36.99, shoppers can now grab the dress for slightly cheaper at £33.39. Featuring short, puffed sleeves, this playful dress is also designed with a charming open back and bow tie detail.
Alternatively, Nobody's Child is selling the Kharian Mini Dress with either a navy polka dot or brown floral lace design for £49. Featuring a v neck and short sleeves, this dress gives a relaxed A-line shape that is perfect for warm summer days.
Many shoppers have left rave reviews over New Look's Broderie Anglaise dress, which currently has a four star rating.
One shopper gushed: "Really cute! I'm 5'2 for reference and it's not too long on me, sits well above the knee."
With another shopper writing: "I like the fact that this dress is lined (so it isn't transparent), and that it's cotton. The pattern is pretty and there's a good range of colours and it certainly covers my stomach."
However, they did also add: "The skirt section is very flared, and probably oversized, which some might find unflattering." Another shopper also noted: "Nice but very short length of skirt."
Despite this, another five-star reviewer wrote: "Gorgeous dress, lovely fabric & quality."
A further customer also praised: "Very comfortable and lightweight," with a sixth shopper also saying: "Amazing clothes, so cute and stylish."

M&S' 'flattering' £29.50 linen top is 'light and comfortable'
Shoppers love the 'light and comfortable' linen top that's been praised for its 'flattering' shape M&S shoppers are smitten with a "stylish" linen top that's "very flattering" and "comfortable." Customers have shared glowing reviews for the £29.50 Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top. Not all sizes are available, but the top is currently in stock in sizes 8 to 20. M&S ' product description says: "Breeze through sunny days in style with this lightweight linen-blend top. It's designed in a regular fit with a flattering square neckline for a modern touch. The sleeveless style keeps you cool while offering effortless freedom of movement." Similar styles from M&S include the £25 Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top, the £35 Linen Rich V-Neck Lace Insert Top, and the £39.50 Linen Rich Cutwork Detail Top. Elsewhere, various retailers offer alternative styles. For example, Next has a £26.50 White Sleeveless Shirt With Linen that could suit shoppers looking for workwear, Nobody's Child has a £42 White Linen-blend Swing Top that could impress those looking for a relaxed fit. Seasalt Cornwall also offers a £47.95 Lighthouse Station Linen Vest. That said, shoppers may still prefer the M&S Linen Rich Square Neck Vest Top. It's loved by reviewers, who praised the look and feel of the product. However, some reported sizing issues, with many commenting on the straps. One happy shopper said: "Lovely material, falls really nicely, wide straps are very flattering, bought for summer, good with jeans and satin skirt etc." A second reviewer wrote: "Very flattering, light and comfortable summer top." Another fan agreed: "Easy and flattering. Some of us need a sun top which is more than a vest top. This one ticks that box very well. Good feel to the fabric." However, a shopper who had a problem with the fit said: "This top is light weight and very versatile. My only gripe with it is that it makes this weird looking crease in the middle & the straps fall down (a lot!) I suggest sizing down." A similar response read: "This is a nice top and this may be down to me but when trying it on the left shoulder kept slipping off onto my arm, so returned it." Someone else replied: "Great fabric. Good value. But no strap adjustment. "Liked the style and fabric. Good cover on the top, however had to return as the straps would not stay up when I tried it on and there is no adjustment. Bought for holiday." There were also mixed views on the silhouette. A reviewer shared: "Lovely top which will be perfect in warmer weather. My only slight criticism is that it's rather shapeless but I'm sure I'll be grateful for it being baggy when I'm hot." But another wrote: "I love a denim top, this is nice but I didn't like it quite enough to keep for the price. It's nice fabric but I would have liked it to have a bit more structure. The neckline is a good shape though." Despite some criticism, the majority of shoppers liked the top. For instance, someone said they liked the top when they sized down, explaining: "Fabric is soft and looks very fresh for summer. But it sizes very big. "Buy small otherwise it does a strange crease in the front." Another pleased fan said: "Love this top, great quality, comfortable and stylish."

My sister wants to wear a Bridgerton-style dress to my wedding – I think it's ‘too white', others say I'm overreacting
YOUR wedding day is meant to be one of the biggest and happiest days of your life. But things were left up in the air for one bride-to-be after her sister shared the dress she planned on wearing to the celebration. 2 Posting on Reddit, the bride explained that she had asked the female members of her family to wear blue, so they could collectively be her 'something blue'. But when her 19-year-old sister wanted to wear a pastel blue dress she wasn't sure what to make of it. "Am I being a bridezilla for thinking this is too bridal/not on the mark?" She asked fellow Reddit users after showing a picture of the garment. Although the dress was pale blue, it could easily look white under certain light. Not only that, but the dress featured a white strip down the front, which many thought pushed the boundaries. "I thought this was a wedding dress at first," one person commented on the post. A second agreed: "It looks more white than blue. I would suggest a better colour, material, and style. The material looks heavy too." "That's nuts, it's obviously bridal, put your foot down," a third wrote. Another comment read: "Is she a Bridgerton? Yeah, I can see why you don't like it is is very pale." And someone replied with a reference to the hit Netflix show: "Scrolled way too far for this haha. Immediately when I saw it, in my head I heard 'DAPHEEEEE, YOU MUST MAKE HASTE!' Meanwhile, others were more concerned by the style of the dress than the colour, as some slammed the dress as "matronly." Laura Nolan says 'yes to the Dress' One joked: "Is she trying to look like she lives in 1800's London?" "It looks like a set piece from Downton Abbey or Bridgerton," a second slammed. "Tell her she can wear that dress on the prairie when she helps John-Boy with the potato crop," someone else chimed in. But others thought the dress was even worse than that. "I think it looks like a panty liner, with the absorbent strip down the centre. What an unfortunate dress," one said. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. And another thought it looked more like toilet paper as they commented: "I'm sorry but that's the ugliest dress I've ever seen. It looks like crumpled up toilet paper. Tell her no." After the responses, the bride decided to confront her sister over the dress, and luckily she agreed to ditch it. "I told her it would likely photograph super light during the day and offered to pay for another dress she would like to wear," she explained. The bride was praised for putting her foot down by many of the Reddit users. One said: "Good for you, it's your day and you shouldn't have to compromise." "There are so many better dresses, help her pick something," another suggested. Wedding makeup do's and dont's Paige Williams, Founder & CEO of the iconic makeup brand shared her tips. DO: Go timeless over trendy We all love a trend babe, but for your wedding day? Let's keep it classic. Think soft glam, radiant skin, neutral tones with a pop of sparkle - You want to look back in ten years and still be obsessed with your glam. Classic never goes out of style. DON'T: Try something totally new Your wedding day is not the time to switch it up with neon liner or completely new brows babe. You want to feel like you, just the most elevated, glowing version. Stick to what you know makes you feel confident and gorgeous. DO: Prioritise long-wear formulas Your wedding is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not just walking down the aisle, you're dancing, hugging, crying, and posing all day long. You need makeup that's in it for the long haul. Go for waterproof, transfer-proof & cry-proof products. Your face needs to slay from 'I do' to the last dance and be able to handle those happy tears. DON'T: Overload your base Babes, less is more. You want coverage, not cake. Go for that breathable, buildable base that lets your real skin glow through. You're aiming for flawless, not flat. Trust me, your photos will thank you. DO: Book a trial Non-negotiable. Whether you're DIY-ing your glam or booking a MUA, a trial is your makeup dress rehearsal. Test it in daylight, take selfies, wear it for hours. It's the only way to know it'll hit just right on the day. DON'T: Forget your neck & chest Don't stop the glam at your jawline, babe. Blend that foundation, bronzer and glow down to your neck and chest, we're going for seamless, snatched and sculpted from every angle. You're the main event, let it show.

Help! I'm almost 6ft tall – how do I find trousers long enough?
PROBLEM 'I'm very tall and only seem able to shop for long trousers online, which means I can't tell the quality or try them on. I need ideas for stores that cater to women like me.' SOLUTION While dresses can fall to almost any length and still look stylish, trousers are much harder to pull off when you're tall. Nobody wants them flapping around their ankles. My advice would be to look for stores that offer Tall ranges: Karen Millen, New Look and M&S are all great places to start. VERDICT 'These trousers are fab – I feel so stylish in them. They're comfy and ideal for everything from a summer BBQ to a fancy dinner. I couldn't be happier!'
