Millie Mackintosh's ‘very comfortable' Nobody's Child midi dress is one of her ‘summer staples'
Sometimes the best summer staples are those that are effortless and easy to style, and can be worn in multiple ways. That's why when Millie Mackintosh shared that she had just three wardrobe essentials to get her through summer, fans were quick to beg for details on her looks.
One of her standout pieces was a black broderie midi dress, which hails from LoveShackFancy for £446 – but it's now completely sold out everywhere. However Millie offered up several alternative options on her LTK page which help you get the look for considerably less, including the Black Tiered Lia Midi Dress from Nobody's Child that was our personal favourite.
Just like her designer version, the Nobody's Child dress has puff sleeves and a subtle V-neckline which bares some skin whilst still being modest enough to wear anywhere from the office to a wedding. The V-neck features a feminine bow detail at the bottom, with a fitted waist that helps accentuate your shape.
Although Millie's LoveShackFancy dress has a more streamlined midi skirt, the Nobody's Child Lia Midi Dress has a tiered design, which gives it some extra volume and movement, making it extra flattering and adding a subtle touch of drama. It's also much more affordably priced at £69, saving you almost £400.
The main difference between the two, however, is that the Nobody's Child dress is missing the broderie details of her designer one. If you do want these extra details, we found some other great options like the Cutwork Detail Midi Dress from Boden, which retails for £130.
Boden's midi dress has broderie-style cut out details along the hemline and neckline, and fastens with a tie belt around the waist. We also love the Black Broderie Midi Tea Dress which also hails from Boden, but is now on sale at Next down from £155 to £75.
Other great options include the Mango Broderie Gathered Cinch Waist A-Line Dress, which you can pick up for £79.99 at ASOS and has a more tailored, fitted silhouette with a flaring A-line skirt. We also spotted another Nobody's Child option, with the £85 Black Broderie Anglaise Sophia Midi Dress having a comfortable shirred bodice, puff sleeves and broderie details throughout.
However the Black Tiered Lia Midi Dress from Nobody's Child that Millie suggested also comes in three other colours; red, butter yellow and a ditsy floral pattern, all of which are perfect for summer. It's also available in sizes four to 18.
It currently only has one review, which is a five star rating saying: 'Lovely dress very comfortable.'

IT'S that time of year again when many of us are preparing for a holiday in the sunshine. From making sure you have the right luggage to filling it with summer staples, and Sainsbury's has just the thing. 2 Shoppers are going wild for The Lobster Printed Strappy Midaxi Dress that is currently available in stores and online. The print features mosaic tiles each filled with different Mediterranean-inspired themes. Printed on the tiles are an array of summer items such as lemons, starfish, chillis, crabs and lobsters, making you reminisce about sitting by the beach enjoying a plate of fresh seafood. The dress features hints of blue, yellow and sunburnt orange to add to the summer vibe. It comes in a midaxi length and it's loose fit makes it classy and comfortable all at the same time. It features a low V-neck front and back with thin straps, making it an effortless style you can dress up or down. The dress is perfect for the beach with a pair of sandals and can also be styled with heeled shoes for the evening. It comes in an inclusive size range starting at a 6 and going up to a size 24. The best part is that the dress is super budget-friendly coming in at just £22.50. TU bosses say: "Designed in a orange lobster print for a distinctive summer look, this sun dress is a chic choice for beach days and sun-soaked getaways. I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit "Cut to midaxi length, it comes in a loose, flowing silhouette - finished with shoulder straps and a v-neckline." Shoppers who already bought the dress raved about it online, scoring it 4.9 out of 5. One person wrote: "Absolutely beautiful dress, lightweight and perfect for this hot sticky weather! Get lots of compliments when wearing this dress." 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

‘Another couple ventured an orgy at our holiday villa in Provence'
This is certainly something Millie*, a 43-year-old London lawyer, can vouch for. She enjoyed an annual holiday with a large group of university friends – and their partners – following her 2002 graduation. As the years progressed, the shared holiday properties grew in size to accommodate growing families. But trouble came in 2022 with the group's first post-Covid get-together. One couple, following some kind of Damascene epiphany, had become suburban swingers. 'They tried it on with one couple on the first night in the house in Provence and we swept it under the carpet, but when they ventured an orgy the following summer too, we'd had enough,' says Millie. 'Three years later, they are divorced, they've managed to split up another couple in our group, and no one ever mentions them.' 'Emotional disasters' A few years ago Lisa Baptiste, 60, from St Albans, was invited on a weekend break to West Sussex with her husband Ray by a couple she had recently met through her children's school. The couple turned out to be 'emotional disasters,' explains Baptiste. 'We drove down in separate cars and they arrived four hours late on the first night, at 10.30pm, with the husband very glassy eyed and possibly drunk,' she recalls. 'The next morning the wife came down to breakfast late and said she was leaving her husband and the pair of them proceeded to have a big row in the hotel grounds, screaming and pushing each other around. It was a hate-hate relationship and we were stuck in the middle of its breakdown'. Sometimes irritations can arise from couples' conflicting lifestyles. Tanya Christen, 47 and a yoga teacher from London, travelled around the Thai island of Koh Samui with her boyfriend and a German couple – her boyfriend's childhood pals who had become devout 'fruitarians' during their travels. 'They scowled at everyone most of the time, but particularly at mealtimes,' she says. 'They very much had this superior vibe: which ruined everyone's good mood.' Christen says she snapped, and refused to continue travelling as a group, when 'the man [of the pair] ate falafel, claimed to be 'high' from the protein intake, and started dancing in a restaurant in his man bun.' 'A fight ensued' Holidays involving multiple couples can be a handful for holiday providers, says James Chisnall of Untravelled Paths, a travel company that combines fringe destinations with high-octane activities. 'We have had a few dramatic incidents with couples, usually involving alcohol and British guests,' he said. 'One time at the Hotel of Ice in Transylvania comes to mind. We had two married couples, who booked together and were in their late 50s. 'Somewhat inebriated, one wife accused the other of flirting with her man. A physical fight ensued, and we were left with two women who should have known better at their age covered in blood.' Sam Willan from accommodation provider SPL Villas says child-free couples hiring large shared properties are a growing trend. He says such groupings often benefit from off-peak rates, but need to book judiciously to give everyone some space. 'I'd recommend opting for a villa with a pull-out sofa bed in the living room or an additional bedroom in case someone needs to sleep alone one night,' he adds. 'It's important to avoid boredom as much as possible as it can often lead to arguments over what to do and who's going to pay for it, so properties with games rooms and pools, where there are free activities on site, work well.' With finances and scheduling being flashpoints, couples can also avoid stress by holidaying with other couples who are well-matched in terms of incomes, says Baker, as well as similar attitudes to micro-planning their days, or letting holidays unfurl spontaneously. Baptiste, for her part, would be 'very wary' about accepting a trip away with new couples in the future. 'You feel trapped if things aren't going well,' she says.
