Boden cuts £61 off 'simply stunning' summer midi dress ahead of UK heatwave
Parts of the UK are set to be hit by another mini heatwave next week. With temperatures reportedly soaring to 27C, many of us will be planning days outside.
That possibly means updating the wardrobe for summer. Fortunately, fashion retailer Boden is running a massive sale across new season must-haves in time for sunny weather and balmy weekends.
One item that has caught our eye is the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress that has been dropped from £136 to £74.80, saving shoppers over £61 off the RRP. Hailed as "simply stunning", we think it's perfect for summer weddings, BBQ's and picnics in the park.
Crafted from a flowy, breathable material, this midi dress features a fit-and-flare design and a tie-belt at the waist that offers a "flattering" effect on the body. Meanwhile, its "super-swishable skirt" adds a touch movement and drama to the overall look.
The all-over multi-coloured means it is a statement wardrobe item, while a few other sought-after features include handy side pockets, alongside full lining to ensure it doesn't look too sheer or see-through.

Product Description
Designed in petite and regular lengthways, the Bria Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 20, although Boden has advised it is "one to watch", meaning it's pretty popular with shoppers.

For something a touch more muted, yet no less stylish, there is this Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Summer Dress for £49 from Next that is available in three other colours.
For the fashion fans keen to take advantage of Boden's discount on the Bria Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, it's worth knowing that shoppers have been hailing it in reviews as "simply stunning" and "extremely comfortable."
One five-star review read: "This dress is simply stunning. I am five foot 2 and the regular length falls just right for me. It's extremely comfortable, the print is bright and it fits perfectly. This may be the best dress I have ever had.
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."

Thank you Boden for not making it too low cut and for proper sleeves! I can't fault it- the fabric is gorgeous and I am going to wear it for my graduation at UCL in May."
A second eager fan wrote: "This dress is beautiful! It's well made and super colorful. It's a perfect dress for either a casual or dressy event in the summer. I love it!"

While someone else added: "I can't tell you just how beautiful this dress actually is the fabric is lovely soft cotton and the cut is superb. When it arrived and I tried it on it felt so lovely to wear and so flattering and it has pockets. Can't wait to wear this on my next cruise."
Not everyone found the dress suited their style, as one shopper said: "The colours and print on this dress are very vibrant and beautiful, the quality feels good, and it could be worn with accessories in a wide range of colours.
"However, although the dress fitted me, it did not suit me at all, but made my hips look big, and gave me a very 'matronly' look, which was not good. Sadly, I have returned the dress."
Although, another shopper said in return: "Classy! Love the fit and the fabric! True to size."

Debenhams' 'beautiful' lace dress is a hit with summer wedding guests and it's now £24 off
The lace fit and flare dress has proved a hit with Debenhams customers who have been quick to snap it up and wear to weddings, and it's now been reduced by 30% Searching for the perfect dress to wear at a wedding can be quite the conundrum, but the trick lies in snagging an outfit that's both comfy for all-day wear and makes you feel utterly fabulous. The Debenhams sale is just the place for finding discounted special occasion dresses, like the much-loved Wallis number that's captured the attention of shoppers. The coveted Wallis lace fit and flare dress is now up for grabs at a 30% markdown, priced at £56, slashed from its original £80. Available in a striking cobalt blue or a delicate blush pink, the latter might be a tad too close to white for wedding guest etiquette. Customer reviews have been raving about the Wallis dress, calling it the perfect pick for its style, comfort, and affordability. One satisfied shopper wrote: "Very pretty lace. Flattering shape and very comfortable to wear." This Fit and Flare Lace Dress oozes class and it's sophisticated blue colour makes it the ideal choice for a coordinating fascinator or hat. Its timeless appeal isn't just for one-off events; many shoppers have worn it to a wedding time and again. Another customer raved: "Love this dress, lovely material, good sizing. Bought for family wedding, beautiful. Reasonably priced." Meanwhile, another shared their joy: "Beautiful dress, true to size, arrived quickly, value for money. Wore dress to my son's wedding and received loads of compliments." Similarly, another buyer enthused: "I bought the blue version to wear to my son's wedding. It's a beautiful dress and feels very special. It's true to size, an excellent fit and midi length." The Wallis Lace Dress may not be everyone's cup of tea, as one three-star reviewer remarked: "Very nice dress beautiful colour. Unfortunately it wasn't suitable for me as cut away under armpit, I hadn't noticed that when I ordered." For those after a bit more coverage, Phase Eight's Verity Floral Lace Dress could be just the ticket. Currently on offer for £109, slashed from £169, it comes in a stunning cornflower blue shade. Over at Next, you can snag its Dusty Blue Occasion Lace-Embellished Draped Maxi Dress for £82, exuding a dreamy charm perfect for summer nuptials, yet versatile enough for autumn or winter wear. Pairing the Wallis Lace Dress with metallic accessories, such as glitzy silver sandals or a matching clutch bag, is a top tip, though you could just as easily keep jewellery understated to let the striking blue hue do all the talking, reports the Express. Yet another happy shopper said: "Lovely dress, also feels really nice on. Very happy with it." Meanwhile, another added: "Beautiful, true to size. Delighted with the dress and planning to wear it to my son's wedding in a few weeks time."

For shoppers looking for animal -themed decor, other options include Robert Dyas' £29.99 Highland Orb Solar Powered Garden Ornament Light, which also has glowing reviews. Customers looking for something different might prefer Dunelm's £16 Personalised Highland Cow LED Lantern, which allows them to add a personalised message over four lines. Elsewhere, B&Q offers a First Choice Lighting Angus Highland Cow Table Lamp With Oatmeal Linen Shade for £29.99.

Although kept up to date with progress, had to shop elsewhere to purchase another until this item was arrived." A customer who purchased a lamp added: "Now that I have assembled the reading lamp I am quite pleased with it, it looks smart, unobtrusive and works well. However, an envelope within the packaging said 'fixings enclosed' - it was empty, no fixings inside. "The assembly instructions were on a scruffy, torn piece of paper and clearly didn't even relate to my purchase. Fortunately, it was pretty obvious what was required for successful assembly. "It was very sloppy and irritating to include the incorrect information, please look at your supplier's quality control!" However, it's worth noting Next's overall rating on Trustpilot is 4.2, which is classed as 'great.' For shoppers interested in Next's Natural Hamish The Highland Cow with Basket Feature Light, the standard cost of home delivery is £4.95, or store collection is free.
