Another shopper added: "A must buy! I eagerly bought these for my bridesmaids (2025 bride) and I am SO glad I did. The dress looks perfect on all of my bridesmaids (size range 8-16).
"Very flattering, feels expensive- not cheap and thin, hides bra's well, sleeves are gorgeous, and is really comfortable. Would agree with the recommendations to size up if you've got bigger boobs. Very very very happy with these, so happy I found them."

His ability to adapt his style to different genres has made him a go-to collaborator for many: Beck Waronker first gained significant recognition in the late 1990s through his extensive work with Beck. A left-handed drummer, he contributed to pivotal albums such as Odelay, Mutations, Midnite Vultures, Sea Change, Guero, Modern Guilt, and Morning Phase.

Waronker has been described as someone who "makes it possible" for musicians to perform without 'showboating,' prioritising the collective sound and supporting the other musicians, rather than seeking the spotlight and allowing the music to breathe while performing. His work is noted for its "clear, focused stick sound" and "glassy crash tone," which suggests a precise and articulate approach to his instrument. His signature ride cymbal is designed for a "range of drumming styles and genres," further emphasizing his adaptability. One comment from a forum discussing his recent work with Oasis notes he is "a competent drummer," but some perceive him as "too soft to hard sound Oasis live." This suggests his subtlety might be perceived differently depending on the genre, reinforcing his nuanced approach rather than raw power. Referring to his drumming on Beck's Sea Change album, it's mentioned that the desired sound involved "not wacking the drums that hard... if you listen to those records, there is a laid back vibe about the drumming even though they are hammering at them, it's not with as much force and aggression."

Not everyone found the design to be flattering on their figure, as one two-star review read: "Nice fabric. The waist was gathered and sat at the point where I looked enormous." Although, more customers were impressed with the dress than not, as another positive review read: "So flattering and comfortable. I get compliments from everyone. It's simply perfect."

Liam Gallagher threatens to quit social media after faking major announcement

Liam Gallagher has threatened to quit social media after backlash from fans for attempting to 'rile up' fans for 'craic'. Liam, 53, found himself at the receiving end of vitriol from fans as he pulled at their heartstrings with a fake announcement. 'BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 6.30 am,'the Oasis singer announced at 6.20 this morning on X, leaving fans on tenterhooks as they waited to hear what the artist may have to tell his loyal followers. However, when the time came, Liam left fans baffled as he simply announced: 'I WORK OUT' 'Gotta admit that was good craic gotta you all riled up to ras' he said less than 10 minutes after the flat response to his announcement. Fans were less than impressed, with some concerned that the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour was about to be cancelled, or that he was suffering from a health issue, or perhaps he was announcing more tour dates for the fans who were unable to attend. 'What made you wake up and think i'm gonna cause absolute CHAOS today for no reason,' asked buckysvader on X. By 7am he was feeling apologetic: 'If I caused any distress and upset anyone this morning I'm deeply sorry that wasn't my intention I thought it was a bit of fun I got it wrong please forgive me LG.' 45 minutes later he threatened to leave social media. 'Guys I think I'm gonna close my twitter account and think long and hard about my EXISTENCE this morning has been a real eye opener' More Trending By quarter to ten he'd seemingly forgotten about the incident and was tweeting about the usage of the title Sir: 'Don't know what all the fuss is about receiving a knighthood and being called SIR all my teachers in school were called SIR and they were all massive C**TS dya get me bruv LG x' If I caused any distress and upset anyone this morning I'm deeply sorry that wasn't my intention I thought it was a bit of fun I got it wrong please forgive me LG — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) June 9, 2025 Guys I think I'm gonna close my twitter account and think long and hard about my EXISTENCE this morning has been a real eye opener — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) June 9, 2025 This comes as the excitement for the Oasis reunion tour increases. The tour takes place 15 years after the band's acrimonious split in 2009 as brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher famously fell out and ended their friendship and band, dissing each other publically for years. Starting in Cardiff in July, the Oasis Live 25 tour will conclude in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in November, with five sold-out Manchester dates pencilled in for mid-July. With the big tour just a month away now, fans were delighted to learn more about the Oasis' setlist after an iconic song was heard in rehearsals. Got a story?
