One delighted shopper said: "I haven't bought from Next in quite some time so this was a bit of a risk-but the risk was certainly worth taking! The dress is a good length, generous in it's sizing (could have gotten away with sizing down too) with comfy fabric that allows for a very flattering figure for the wearer.
"However the main feature is its pockets which are nice and deep allowing for comfort and ease. Overall an absolutely lovely dress that can be worn in any weather on any occasion!!
Fashion deal of the week
In need of new trainers, but don't want to pay Skechers prices.
Then these STQ Women's Slip-On Trainers are said to be "much better" than the famed brand. Even better, they are currently priced from just £30.99 on Amazon.
With their slip-on style design and ultra-breathable mesh material, these trainers are said to be a fuss-free option for anyone who spends long periods of time on their feet, alongside anyone who suffers from foot pain issues such as plantar fasciitis.
The flexible knitted material features an elastic cuff, making them easy to pop on and take off, while the wide fit fabric has been designed to make it feel like you are wearing nothing on your feet.
Crafted with over 1,000 ventilation holes, they ensure that feet don't get to sweaty during wear, while the memory foam insole provides good arch support, making it feel "like walking on air".
Available to buy in sizes three through to eight, shoppers can select from eight colours including black, grey and pink. However, it's worth noting that the £30.99 price-tag is available on the black colourway.
With the STQ Trainers posing the cheapest price-tag, shoppers might be happy to hear that they have earned a 4.4 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that suggest they are "light as a feather" and "really comfortable".
One delighted shopper said: "Super lightweight, comfortable and a fab colour pink. Much better all round than the Skechers I bought at four times the price! Your feet will love these."
A second shopper remarked: "So soft and comfortable, the fabric is lovely it looks nice on and perfect length just had it on my holidays had nice compliments."
Another shopper who snapped up the frock wrote: "Lovely dress, can't wait to take it on holiday."
One shopper did leave a three-star review under the blue colourway for the length, writing: "Great for holidays, very comfortable. Only gave 4 stars as I would have preferred it about 3 inches longer."
Meanwhile, another positive review read: "Perfect length for petite, lovely colour for holiday, can see me getting a lot of wear out of this dress."

Beats wireless earphones now nearly half price as shoppers say they are superior to other brands
Beats Powerbeats Pro earphones are now 49% off on Amazon, offering 9-hour battery life and over 24 hours with the case. Wireless earbuds have become a go-to choice for those seeking high-quality audio, hands-free calls, and workout-friendly durability. Among the most talked-about options are the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones, which currently have a significant price drop on Amazon. Priced at £139, down from £269.95, they're now 49% off and available in Black, Ivory, and Navy. The Powerbeats Pro offers up to 9 hours of listening time on a single charge, with the case extending playback to over 24 hours. Designed with adjustable, secure-fit ear hooks, these earbuds are built for comfort and stability during intense workouts. A reinforced, sweat- and water-resistant build adds durability, while volume and track controls on each earbud, built-in microphones, and auto play/pause features round out the functionality. Several other options are also available in the wireless earbuds market. The Anker Soundcore Sport X20, for instance, features rotatable and extendable ear hooks, IP68 waterproofing, and up to 48 hours of playtime. It is currently priced at £74.99 (RRP £89.99) with a 4.3-star rating from 5,472 reviews. Another popular choice is the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which includes active noise cancellation, personalised spatial audio, and USB-C charging. At £189 (RRP £229), they've earned a 4.6-star average from over 15,000 reviews. But for those considering the Powerbeats Pro, there's plenty of positive feedback backing the choice. These earbuds hold a 4.1-star rating from 11,699 Amazon reviews. One user shared: 'My Powerbeats Pro is the best hearing aid I have ever bought... The battery lasts almost all day... With the hooks, my Powerbeats Pro sits comfortably in my ears with my glasses... Overall to me at least the Powerbeats Pro is superior to similar headphones in its class.' However, not all experiences have been flawless. One reviewer said: 'There are two negatives... No ANC. And the earphones tend to have a common flaw whereby in-case charging can be an issue... I normally spend a few seconds carefully placing them in my charging case but still have turned up to the gym with one earbud dead.' Other reviewers praised build quality and performance: 'Everything about these earphones scream quality... The sound quality surprised me... They are incredibly well balanced... Probably not as tight [a seal] as some others... but I don't find myself having to take them out because of a build up of pressure.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

While others were less impressed: 'The sound quality is just average, and they tend to fall out once I start sweating... there are times when only one headphone turns on after I take them out of the box.' Another user was particularly enthusiastic: 'These headphones are game changing... Sound quality is possibly the cleanest I've heard... Also these are the only earbuds that stay in and I can wear for 12 hours no issues.' The Beats Powerbeats Pro may not be without flaws, particularly when it comes to the size of the case and occasional charging issues—but they remain a strong contender in the premium workout earbud space. Get the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones HERE at £139 while the offer lasts.

Small Scottish distillery wins international award for wood-fired drink
A small Lowlands distillery has won gold for its wood-fired unaged spirit, scoring 96 points for its depth, clarity and character. A small Scottish distillery tucked away in the Lowlands has struck gold on the international stage, quite literally. Moffat Distillery, based in Dumfries and Galloway, is celebrating a major milestone after its Moffat Moonshine scooped a prestigious gold medal at the 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). The award comes just as the distillery prepares for its highly anticipated first whisky release. The unaged spirit, described by the distillery as a 'wood-fired, unaged spirit made entirely in Dumfries & Galloway ', earned an impressive 96 points, with judges praising its 'depth, clarity and character.' That's a remarkable result for what is essentially the debut offering from the fledgling distillery. 'This is a huge moment for our small team,' said founder Nick Bullard. 'Moffat Moonshine is where our journey begins, raw, honest and full of character. "We're proud it's been recognised on a global stage and we hope it puts our small but perfectly-formed corner of Scotland on the spirits map.' Moffat Distillery is no ordinary producer. It claims to be the first and only distillery in Scotland to heat its stills using wood fires, a method not seen in over 200 years. With an output of just 6,000 litres per year, the distillery prides itself on sustainable, small-scale production. Sharing their excitement in a social media post, the team wrote: 'We've just won a Gold medal! Our Moffat Moonshine has been recognised by the IWSC, a huge honour for our wee distillery. 'This is a win not just for us, but for everyone who's supported us along the way, from those who've shared a dram, to our brilliant partners at Crisp Malt, WHC Lab, and Camlachie Cooperage.' The award-winning Moffat Moonshine has been bottled at two strengths, 48.5% and a fiery cask strength of 61.25% ABV. Distilled in the open air, the team say each run carries its own unique character, with the spirit matured in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks for just seven months. 'Not wanting to drown our own spirit's character in sherry, we decided to bottle the fiery potion when we felt it was ready,' the distillery says on its website.

While Moffat Moonshine has stolen the spotlight for now, the distillery is also no stranger to blended malts. In 2018, it released The Moffat Blended Malt Scotch, and more blends from its Local Dram series are on the way. These unique creations are developed in close collaboration with local people, drawing on regional culture, history, geography and language to produce a dram that truly reflects the character of its community. 'We create unique recipes,' the distillery explains. 'We source our spirit directly from producers, avoiding the secondary market, since consistency and authenticity of supply are vital to the brand.' All bottling is currently done under contract, and each blend is dressed in bespoke packaging designed by a local artist, echoing the spirit of the community behind it.

Easy and tasty three ingredient shortbread recipe ready in just over half an hour
Shortbread is a beloved Scottish treat said to date back to Mary Queen of Scots, and a simple three-ingredient recipe now makes it easy to enjoy year-round Shortbread has long been a cherished part of Scottish heritage, with its buttery, crumbly texture beloved for generations. Legend even credits Mary Queen of Scots with its creation, and it remains a staple of Hogmanay celebrations to this day. But there's no rule saying you can't enjoy it in the summer, too, and now, an easy homemade recipe could help you do just that. Culinary experts at Taste of Home have shared a fuss-free recipe requiring just three simple ingredients and a little over half an hour of your time. Better still, the recipe yields four dozen shortbread fingers, perfect for sharing, or not. Submitted by Rose Mabee from the town of Selkirk in Manitoba, Canada (a fitting name for a Scottish-inspired bake), the recipe calls for: 500ml of softened butter 250ml of packed brown sugar Between 500g and 600g of all-purpose flour To make it, preheat your oven to 180°C and cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 450g of flour and mix well. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead for five minutes, gradually adding the rest of the flour until you have a soft, workable dough. Roll it out to a half-inch thickness and cut into strips, 3 inches by 1 inch is ideal, or get creative with circles or triangles. Prick each piece with a fork, place them an inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool before serving, if you can keep any hands off them, and enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee. If you're feeling adventurous and want to add a twist to the classic, food creator Dee, of Dee & Sweets, has turned heads with her indulgent cinnamon roll version of shortbread. The bars have all the buttery richness of a traditional shortbread base, layered with a sweet cinnamon filling and topped with vanilla frosting. Dee's creation has quickly become a favourite among foodies for its clever combination of comforting flavours and beautiful presentation. Cinnamon roll shortbread recipe: For the crust: 225g butter, softened 150g caster sugar 1 tbsp vanilla extract 312g all-purpose flour ¼ tsp salt 1 tbsp demerara sugar For the filling: 55g butter, softened 100g brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract For the frosting: 55g cream cheese 112g butter 125g icing sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract Start by preheating your oven to 175°C and lining a 9×9 inch baking tin with greaseproof paper. Cream together the butter and sugar for the crust until light and fluffy, then mix in the vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add to the wet mixture in stages, mixing until just combined. Press two-thirds of the dough into the tin, saving the rest for later, and chill the base for 15 to 30 minutes. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Bake the crust for about 15 minutes until just turning golden and set it aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, mix the filling ingredients into a soft spread. Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the base and spread evenly. Roll out the reserved dough and tear into flat clusters, loosely placing them on top to create a lid. Sprinkle demerara sugar on top and bake again for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. While it cools, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and vanilla together until smooth and creamy. Spread over the bars once they've cooled slightly, slice into squares, and serve. Whether you stick to the classic or try the cinnamon twist, shortbread remains a timeless treat that proves some traditions never go out of style.
