Shoppers race to grab ‘dress of the summer' from supermarket – it's bloat-friendly & perfect for holidays or weddings

The Sun5 days ago

WITH summer on the way, we're all looking for ways to revamp our wardrobes.
And there's one fashion buy that shoppers will be rushing to put in their basket.
A new summer dress from Tesco ticks all of the boxes to make it 'dress of the summer.'
Sharing the dress on their TikTok account, Tesco said: "Perfect summer dress. Gorgeous tiered midi dress with embroidery in the colour of summer," and we couldn't agree more.
The stunning F&F Pure Cotton Broderie Anglaise Tiered Midi Dress comes in this season's must-have colour, butter yellow.
It features wide straps to offer support and comes in an inclusive size range from a 6 to 22.
To give it some extra glam, it also has off-the-shoulder Broderie arms to match the tiered skirt.
The summer dress is made from 100% cotton, making it perfect for the warmer months, whether you're relaxing on holiday or enjoying the sun in the UK.
The midi dress can be dressed up with wedges for an elevated look or worn with trainers for a casual outfit for a day in the park.
Tesco bosses say: "Step out in summery style with this pure cotton tiered midi dress, designed with pretty broderie details and a scalloped hem.
"Featuring wide straps, a tiered skirt, and a flattering bandeau style fold over top, it looks perfect with wedge heel sandals and a straw hat."
The dress costs £36 and can be purchased online.
I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too
It's not the only Tesco fashion buy shoppers are loving.
Fashion fans have insisted the new Tesco polka dot two-piece looks "stunning on" and hailed it as a must-have for summer.
The black polka dot midi skirt is priced at £22.50, while the matching puff sleeve cropped top will cost you £16
Both pieces come in sizes six to 22 and are available in-store and on the newly launched F&F website.
How has Tesco's F&F upped its game
By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend
ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices.
But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity.
However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead.
F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands.
They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame.
F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner.
I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes.
So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.
They can be worn together, or pair the top with jeans and heels and the skirt with a Skims dupe bodysuit to get extra wear out of them.
Describing the co-ord online, the Tesco team say: "Complete with a split hem detail, this midi skirt adds a classic touch to your daily essentials.
"Designed with an all-over polka dot print, the relaxed silhouette and gathered waistband make it ideal for dressed-up events.
"Team with the matching top for a statement look.
"From its polka dot print to its short puff sleeves, this top is a on-trend piece in your dressed-up wardrobe."

Fast, fun and reassuringly expensive: the posh motorcycles produced by car brands

'The neatest-looking and most luxurious sporting machine offered to the public. The Rolls-Royce of motorcycles.' When journalist HD Teague penned his observations on a new machine for The Motor Cycle, in 1923, he unwittingly created a brand collaboration that has endured for more than a century. Teague was referring to the Brough Superior SS80, which was hand-built in Nottingham by George Brough and designed to be the ultimate motorcycle. Brough's Super Sports model was guaranteed to achieve 80mph (hence the name) thanks to a lightweight frame and a 988cc V-twin engine – and each machine was vigorously road-tested to prove it. Brough was determined his 'superior' luxury bike would appeal to wealthy gentlemen at a time when the class system still dominated British life. Teague's comparison with Rolls-Royce was manna from heaven; naturally, Brough didn't think twice about using the quote in his marketing campaign. When news of the unofficial association with a motorcycle brand reached Rolls-Royce HQ in Derby, its top brass was not impressed. Letters were exchanged but Brough, unperturbed, seized the opportunity and invited Rolls staff to inspect the meticulous work of his engineers for themselves. Rolls-Royce approval Remarkable as it might seem today, when any unauthorised association ends in a 'cease and desist' notice, the delegation from Derby concluded that Brough could indeed call his exceptional bikes 'the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles'. Spurred on, Brough set about building a new, faster machine, with improved handling and brakes, that could compete with the very best of the era. The SS100 was capable of doing 'the ton' but was also beautifully styled around a teardrop-shaped fuel tank. Breathtaking to behold, the new superbike was revealed in the 1925 Brough Superior catalogue. Only a lucky few could afford the £170 price tag (for comparison, a Ford Model T car cost approximately £200 at the time). Each SS100 was crafted to individual customer specification – even the handlebars were bespoke – and every Brough bike was hand-made twice: first to ensure that all the parts fitted perfectly, then dismantled for paint or plating before the final build. Brough's desire to appeal to the aristocracy worked. Playwright George Bernard Shaw and, later, actor-director Orson Welles chose a Brough Superior. The motorbike also achieved a spate of speed records, including a Brooklands lap best of 124mph in 1939. Famous fans Brough's most ardent supporter was Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence. British officer, diplomat and hero of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire, Lawrence of Arabia bought one of the first SS100s in 1925. A dedicated biker, Lawrence was waiting for his eighth model to be delivered when he died while riding a SS100 in Dorset, on May 19 in 1935. He wasn't wearing a helmet and suffered serious head injuries. The accident encouraged Lawrence's neurosurgeon, Hugh Cairns, to begin a long study that ultimately resulted in more riders using crash helmets. Brough Superior continued manufacturing motorcycles until 1940, when the Nottingham factory shifted to wartime production. The company had built 3,025 motorcycles since the first machine was crafted in 1919. Today, original Brough Superiors are among the world's most exclusive and expensive classic motorbikes. The business was revived in 2008 and is now based in France. The latest Brough model, the Lawrence Dagger, is a modern sports bike costing £60,000. Brough Superior, as the firm is now known, like many other motorcycle marques, has collaborated with car brands. Here are some of the best. AMB 001 by Aston Martin and Brough Superior Quite what Lawrence might have thought of the track-only AMB 001 is anyone's guess. Limited to 100 examples, the hand-built racer weighs just 180kg yet produces a mind-boggling 180hp. The 997cc machine is the first Brough to feature a turbocharger, with engine covers machined from a solid billet of metal. For extra thrills, the £130,000 Pro version increases the power to 225hp and is said to be inspired by Aston Martin 's Valkyrie AMR Pro – a car that will mark the company's return to the top class of the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race next month in a bid to win the race outright for the first time since 1959. Brabus 1300 R The German car tuning specialist is best known for creating high-performance versions of Mercedes-Benz sports cars, such as the SL and SLK. The brand has also worked with Maybach and Porsche – not forgetting the Brabus Smart ForTwo of 2006, as driven by a young Lewis Hamilton when he signed to race for McLaren in F1. Collaborating with KTM, Brabus has more recently created a series of high-end machines based on the Austrian firm's Super Duke R model. The 2024 R Masterpiece Edition costs about £37,000 – roughly double that of a standard Duke. With only 50 examples built, exclusivity is guaranteed. Ducati Diavel for Bentley Possibly the most unlikely collaboration between two- and four-wheeled brands, the £58,000 Ducati Diavel for Bentley is said to have taken its design cues from the ultra-rare, £2 million Bentley Batur, based on the Crewe marque's Continental GT Speed. Only 18 Baturs were produced. The Italian-built Diavel is restricted to 500 examples, with an extra 50 offering more customisation for customers of Bentley Mulliner, the firm's bespoke division. Luxury touches include carbon-fibre bodywork and an Alcantara seat. A standard Diavel V4 costs £24,000. Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini A more obvious Ducati collaboration given that Lamborghini is part of the Audi group, plus the brands neighbour each other in Italy's 'Motor Valley' in Emilia-Romagna. Based on the £30,000 Panigale V4 S, some of the parts reference Lamborghini's latest Revuelto supercar, including a lot of carbon-fibre. A matching helmet and jacket set cost extra. Launched at Milan Design Week earlier this year, the superbike is still the cheapest way into Lamborghini ownership. 'If you own our Revuelto it's highly desirable to add a bike, potentially in the same livery as your car,' said spokesman Federico Foschini. MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR Lewis Hamilton Mercedes-AMG announced a 25 per cent ownership stake in high-end Italian bike brand MV Agusta 11 years ago – then opted out three years later. The most memorable result of that partnership was a hand-built version of the three-cylinder Agusta Brutale Dragster, with special input from bike nut Hamilton himself. Only 244 were made, selling at £18,000 – a bargain price for such an exclusive machine.

Manchester United sign Matheus Cunha in £62.5m deal from Wolves

Manchester United have announced the signing of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha in a £62.5 million deal. Ruben Amorim, the United manager, identified the Brazilian as a priority target. The club have landed their first signing of what is expected to be a busy summer at Old Trafford after triggering Cunha's release clause. United have agreed to pay the £62.5 million fee in three parts over two years and it is understood that Cunha, a £43 million signing from Atletico Madrid in December 2022, will earn around £200,000 a week at United and appeals to Amorim because of his ability to play in all three positions in the front line. The former Atletico Madrid forward will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of a further 12 months. The 26-year-old has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances in two-and-a-half seasons at Molineux and will be looking to add to his 13 appearances for Brazil at the World Cup next summer under Carlo Ancelotti. Wolves said in a statement: 'Everyone at Wolves would like to thank Matheus for his contributions in old gold and wish he and his family the best of luck for the future.'

Man United agree Matheus Cunha transfer with contract length set

Manchester United have agreed to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m. The forward will put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with United possessing the option to extend his deal until 2031, after agreeing personal terms. The transfer will be officially completed when Cunha returns from international duty with Brazil and subject to a visa, which is expected to be a formality. United triggered Cunha's release clause at Molineux last week and will pay the fee in instalments over the next two years. Cunha will become United's third buy in Ruben Amorim 's reign, after Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu, and much the biggest. But while he is the first part of their plan to reshape the attack, they face defeat in another with Ipswich's Liam Delap preferring to join Chelsea instead of United. Cunha scored 15 Premier League goals for Wolves last season, earning a further six assists, while no United player scored more than eight times in the top flight as they came 15th, their worst finish in half a century. Amorim was quick to target Cunha as a player who could add goals to the United attack, but there is uncertainty about who else will be in contention for a place next season. Captain Bruno Fernandes has received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, which he is considering, though Amorim has said he is confident his fellow Portuguese will stay. Marcus Rashford will return to Old Trafford after the end of his loan spell at Aston Villa, but seems to have no future there with United putting a £40m price on him and Barcelona going public in their interest. Antony's productive loan spell at Real Betis has ended but he is likely to be available for transfer while United are waiting to discover if Chelsea will complete a deal for Jadon Sancho or pay a £5m penalty and return him to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho is unsettled and was unhappy not to start the Europa League final.
