The £12 Asda dress that's the perfect transitional piece, stretchy and big boob-friendly

The Sun2 days ago
SHOPPERS are going wild for a "lovely" mini dress in Asda that is the perfect transitional piece for autumn - and it's only £12.
George is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and regularly delights fashion fans with its stylish buys at bargain prices.
And if you're in need of a lightweight denim frock to add to your summer wardrobe, that also works for the colder months, then this is the one for you.
The Leopard Print Denim Shirt Mini Dress is available online and in store, and comes in sizes eight to 24.
It has a loose, oversized fit which is perfect for big boobs or mum tums.
And it's currently marked down in the sale for just £12, reduced from £22.
Thrilled shoppers have been raving about the animal print dress which they've hailed as a five-star buy.
One said: "Bought this is the sale and it's perfect I'm 5ft 4 and the length is just above the knee.
"I am 10-12 and I found the 10 fitted the best the 12 was hanging off me. Light, slight stretch denim with pockets which are handy.
"Also bought the denim blue version in store. Happy with both dresses would highly recommend for summer months ahead."
"Abs great on have had so many compliments comes up large though", a second gushed.
A third wrote: "Bought a size 10, this dress is an oversized fit but still perfect for size 10 has some stretch and pockets not heavy denim but not a thin denim either still perfect for the summer.
I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out

Elsewhere in store, shoppers are going wild for a £20 floral dress in that's "perfect in every way" and has you sorted for holiday or weddings.
One gushed: "Just love this dress, great colours, style and fabric. Just perfect."
And fashion fans are loving the "prettiest" £35 Tesco dress that's perfect for weddings and comes in an on-trend, classy colour.
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 earnt 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.

'Don't let me turn into someone who doesn't recognise the people I love most', says Dame Joanna Lumley as she speaks out in favour of assisted dying

Dame Joanna Lumley has spoken out in support of the controversial assisted dying policy, saying she would not want to carry on if she couldn't recognize her loved ones. The actress, 79, said she supported the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which would allow adults with less than six months to live to apply for assisted death. The bill passed a vote in the House of Commons last month, despite objections from Labour ministers and Health Secretary Wes Streeting, and will be discussed in the House of Lords in the autumn. Dame Joanna, known for starring as Patsy in the BBC comedy Absolutely Fabulous. was asked about the bill in an interview with Saga Magazine. She said: 'People are terribly anxious about it and think you may be coerced. 'But I'm saying this now, when nobody's coercing me - don't let me turn into somebody who doesn't recognize the people I love most, where I'm having a miserable time. 'When I get to that stage, when my mind is gone and I have to be fed, that won't be me any more - and I wouldn't mind saying "farewell".' TV presenter Dame Esther Rantzen has been another vocal supporter of the bill and recently urged the Lords not to block the legislation. Dame Esther, 85, has terminal cancer and is being backed by her daughter Rebecca Wilcox. The support from Dame Joanna has been welcomed by campaigner Louise Shackleton. Mrs Shackleton, 58, is currently being investigated for taking her terminally ill husband Anthony, 59, to Switzerland last December to assist his suicide, after he had suffered from motor neurone disease for six years. She told The Mirror that she is set to bury his ashes today on what would have been his 60th birthday She added: 'He would have been overwhelmed that such a huge star has spoken out. 'I would like to thank Joana on behalf of fellow campaigners for having the courage to speak out and to represent the vast majority of people who are in agreement with what she is saying but haven't got her platform. 'Hopefully there will be measured, educated and community focused progress to move this forward.' The bill did have opponents from all parties including Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick. Writing for the Daily Mail, he revealed how he helped look after his grandmother, Dorothy, as a teenage boy – and how she continued to bring joy to the family as she defied a terminal diagnosis for nearly a decade. He said the prospect of legalising assisted dying 'fills me with dread', adding: 'My Nana felt like she was a burden. I know how much she hated the indignity she felt at having to ask my Mum or us to help her with basic needs. 'People like her – and there are many such people – may consider an assisted death as another act of kindness to us. How wrong they would be. 'Our society pays little regard to end of life care. We need to do much more as a country to help the elderly, like my Nana, in their final years. 'But my experience has taught me that there can be dignity in death, and that even in someone's twilight years, there is joy to be extracted from life. 'So I'll be voting No. And as I do so, I'll be thinking of my great pal – my Nana, Dorothy.' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged her MPs to vote against the legislation, describing it as 'a bad Bill' despite being 'previously supportive of assisted suicide'. Mother of the House Diane Abbott also asked MPs to vote against the bill, saying: 'There is no doubt that if this Bill is passed in its current form, people will lose their lives who do not need to, and they will be amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised in our society.'

Eva Longoria shows off her jaw-dropping figure in a glamorous white cut out gown as she attends the Global Gift Gala in Marbella

Eva Longoria looked sensational in a stylish white cut out gown as she attended the Global Gift Gala at Hotel Don Pepe Gran Meliá in Marbella on Sunday. The actress, 50, made sure to turn heads in the eye catching halterneck floor-length number which boasted a cut out flashing her toned abs. Eva elevated her frame in a pair of towering heels and accessorised with a pair of chic star drop earrings. The Desperate Housewives star flashed her gorgeous smile as she chatted with pals at the glamorous event. In May the actress, who shares son Santiago, seven, with husband José Antonio, said she always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood. Eva has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent. The actress told Byrdie: 'When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me'. 'Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. 'They were everything I wanted to be.' Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: 'I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, "Oh my god, who would have thought?" 'And I said, "Me. I thought it. I dreamt it." If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.' Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years. The brunette beauty shared: 'When you're young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life. 'Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritizing differently,' explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney. 'I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love. 'Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now.' Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years. The actress said: 'I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well. I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.' This comes after the mother-of-one shared her top three diet hacks last year. Eva's three diet tips are intermittent fasting, clean eating, and moderation. She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates The star also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage. She generally eats within an eight-hour window, typically between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to Women's Health.

The six biggest make-up mistakes that are making women over 50 look older, according to top beauty experts

If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more I have a big birthday looming – no, not that one, not quite yet - but the one that nudges me into my 50th year. And, somehow, this feels significant. Perhaps it's not that surprising - the Chinese Medicine practitioner Katie Brindle told me that, for women, the landmark birthday is not 50, but 49, because according to TCM we move through life in seven year cycles – and the start of the eighth marks the beginning of our 'second spring'. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that yet, but when I look over pictures from the last year I can definitely see any wisdom I may have accumulated thus far in life showing up far more than it ever did before. I've never had Botox, fillers and the rest and I haven't yet decided if I will, but like most of us, I wouldn't mind slowing the progress of time on my face. And I know that make-up can work magic – if it's done well. So, I decided to ask the experts about the most ageing make-up mistakes they see women making – and their fixes. Read on to learn how to roll back the years with a flick of your mascara wand… NEVER OVER-POWDER Frances Prescott, Make-up artist and founder of Tri Balm and Maeva Rae A common mistake is to over powder. Don't! For a gorgeous dewy finish, use a hybrid product combining make-up and skincare ingredients, like Katherine Daniels Pure Pigment Foundation Drops (£42 / 20ml which has a supple texture that doesn't cake. Or look for tinted moisturisers instead. Pure Pigment Foundation Drops £42 / 20ml Shop GET CLEVER WITH CONCEALER Sascha Jackson, lead make-up artist Stila One of the most common ageing mistakes is using concealer that's too light and applying too much of it. The key is to choose a shade close to your foundation—no more than half a shade lighter. If you're dealing with dark circles, apply a peach-toned corrector first to neutralise purple tones, then follow with a small amount of concealer to brighten. Use a soft, fluffy brush to apply concealer gently—especially under the eyes, where too much product can settle into fine lines. Gabriella Elio, Make-up artist and founder of Sweed Beauty Women who are peri or menopausal, don't need to be afraid of blusher, but they (i)do(i) need to use it differently. Ignore the apples of your cheeks and apply to the top of your cheekbone instead, then blend down. Then put a flick of highlighter on top – you're focusing on lighting up your face at eye level. Blusher, like the Sweed Air Blush Cream (£28, used at the top of your cheeks replicates the fullness of lost fat pads. As we age, we all lose structure and fat – a swirl of blush creates the illusion of fullness, and youth! SOFTEN YOUR GO-TO SHADES Suzy Griffin Dunne, Make-up artist, founder of Hildun Beauty As we age, we need to reconsider not just the placement of make-up but also the textures of the products we are using. Generally, we need more hydration and creamier textures that are going to move with our faces instead of getting stuck in lines. Another important factor to consider when is that the colours we used to wear may be a little harsh, and we might need to soften those shades, perhaps changing our traditional black eyeliner to a brown. We have found this approach very popular with lots of our customers. In fact, we now have three shades in our ultra creamy brown eyeliner with a fourth launching later this year (£16, Award Winning Silk to Set Kajal Liner £16 Shop PLUMP UP LIPS LIKE A PRO Vincent Ford, Global Make-up artist When you apply your lip pencil or lipstick avoid taking the product all the way to the corners of the mouth. This pulls the mouth down and ages you. Instead only apply the lip colour to the centre of the lips and blend outwards, softly diffusing the colour. It will give the appearance of a fuller, more youthful mouth. Easy! OPEN EYES WITH A TOP LASHES TRICK Caroline Barnes, celebrity make-up artist Applying mascara to your top lashes only can really lift your eyes, especially if you use a mascara that dumps a lot of the product at the root of the lash because this creates a lovely invisible line that doesn't weigh the lid down. Try Elf Extender (£6.94, which has a really thin barrel that deposits the mascara very close to the lash, or Sweed mascara (£24, which deposits the mascara right to the roots of your lashes. Obviously you could open out your eyes by having mascara on the top and bottom lashes, but making it a little bit top heavy really does create a beautiful lift. Cosmetic Craving Eyeam Magnesium Butter, £25 for a 60g pot ( This brand is the brainchild of the Organic Pharmacy's Margo and her daughter Roxy, so I had high hopes – and I wasn't disappointed. After applying a good dollop to the soles of my feet I had a super deep sleep…Not surprising given that 5ML contains 200mg of magnesium. I felt so good afterwards that I've passed my pot on to a friend who has had trouble getting enough rest recently. I'll report back, but, at the very least, I know their feet will soon be sandal-ready. @katherine_spenley MAGNESIUM GLYMPHATIC SLEEPY BUTTER £25 Shop
