The fashion influencers were eager to see whether the collection would suit both of them and
Hayley said: "Mother and daughter size 6 versus size 12 try on haul."
The first M&S dress they tried on was the Denim V-Neck Tie Detail Midi Waisted Dress.
Hayley was impressed as soon as she put it on, saying: "You know what I love about it on me. first of all I can fit my boobs in it.

"I love the length of the sleeve that hides my wobbly arms. It has pockets."
The mum said she wasn't usually a fan of pockets as it makes her hips look bigger, but didn't find it a problem with this dress.

dress, but it didn't impress them as much.

Hayley said of her daughter: " She looks like something out of Little House on the Prairie."
"I love the colour, the look the pattern. I think it's better for an over 40s but it's gorgeous."
The UK's best M&S for clothes
They also tried on an oversized white broderie blouse and denim skirt, which neither of them was impressed with.
The top was far too big with Hayley adding: "It makes me look like I'm pregnant with the triplets."
While the haul wasn't an overall success, the denim dress was a favourite with the duo and viewers.

Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of
Barbie
in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
One person wrote: "The denim dress looked the best!"
Another commented: 'Stunning."
"She won't know what Little House on the Prairie is," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "M&S clothes seem to be so large this season."
"I like the denim dress the best,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'That green dress looks amazing on mum!!"

Fashion editors' top tips on how to style the nineties Bermuda shorts trend that's having a resurgence

WHETHER you're looking for something new to add to your summer workwear wardrobe, or want another option for your holiday, the Bermuda style could be for you. With their longer length and versatility, the '90s shorts style has been trending for a few years, and they're not going anywhere this summer. Advertisement From smart pleated pairs perfect for the office or events, to relaxed denim versions that make a great swap for your usual jeans, there's something for everyone. Our Fashion team has rounded up their top picks from the high street, plus how to style them.

Advertisement They're just as comfortable as my trusty jeans and look so stylish when dressed up with a crisp white blazer. M&S stores are rammed with tons of sizes of all its stock, because of its online struggles, so it's never been a better time to shop in-person. It was love at first sight with this blazer, and I know I'll wear it hundreds of times throughout the summer, to work or on holiday. Most read in Fabulous I've paired them with these New Look heels I already have in my wardrobe that are comfortable for the nine-to-five (trust me!), and this designer-inspired bag from H&M makes an effortlessly summery look. Advertisement Finally, I'll add a flash of colour with this stunning Abbott Lyon jade green necklace. Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 4 Abby has found her perfect Bermudas in the colour of the season, pale yellow Credit: T-shirt, £12.99, H&M - Shorts, £87, & Other Stories - Bag, £55, Damson Madder at Harvey Nichols - Sunglasses, £86, Quay Australia - Sandals, £20, Tu at Sainsbury's - Gone are the days when I used to pull out my very short denim shorts for the summer - these days, I'm all about the longer length. Which is why the Bermuda style is great for me. Advertisement I love this belted yellow pair from & Other Stories - not only is pale yellow one of the big colours this season, but the belt also gives me some extra shape at the waist. While these shorts are fairly smart, I've made the look a little more casual with a graphic T-shirt (this one is a bargain at just £12.99) and some flat fisherman sandals. With an extra pop of print thanks to this Damson Madder leopard bag and a pair of sunnies, this is a look I'll be wearing on repeat all summer long. Tracey Lea Sayer, 53, Fashion Director 4 Tracey's Bermuda shorts come as part of a co-ord set with a matching jacket Credit: Advertisement Jacket, £135, COS - Shorts, £85, COS - Necklace, £22, Arket - Sunglasses, £45, Le Specs - Bag, £175, & Other Stories - Sandals, £28, Next - I love a tailored short suit for when the temperature soars in the city, because it is the perfect alternative to a trouser suit. This summer, it's all about Bermuda shorts - a longer, baggier style than I am used to, but I definitely want to give them a go. While in my head I dream of being that cool COS model who wears their Bermudas low-slung and skater style, the fact is that my mum-tum will pop over the top, which is so not cool! So, I have gone for a smarter option. Advertisement These long-line pleated shorts give great coverage around my waistline, plus they feel office-appropriate because of the longer length. I've teamed the suit with buttermilk accessories and a pair of Le Specs sunnies. Summer in the city? Bring it on! Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 4 Emily proves that Bermudas can work for your holiday wardrobe Credit: Advertisement Shirt, £64.99, H&M - Vest, £8.99, Zara - Earrings, £16, River Island - Belt, £22.99, Mango - Shorts, £18, Primark - Bag, £45.99, Parfois - Sandals, £16.99, New Look - I've enjoyed wearing Bermuda shorts in my workwear wardrobe for a couple of years now, and recently I switched them in for my denim pair while on holiday. If you're yet to try the trend and don't want to spend a fortune, this cream pair from Primark's Edit range is under £20. The shorts are super-versatile and come complete with pockets and belt loops. I've styled them with this gorgeous printed shirt from H&M, matching beaded earrings and a raffia bag, plus some sandals that you could easily swap for gold heels in the evening. Advertisement See you at the airport! Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous . It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30!

‘Need this so much it hurts' cry shoppers as they leg it to Tesco for denim summer dress that's giving noughties vibes

IF you're searching for the perfect beer garden or festival outfit this summer, then Tesco's got you covered. The supermarket's in-house fashion label, F&F, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices. 3 Shoppers are racing to Tesco for a new £25 denim dress Credit: Getty 3 Shoppers insist the denim frock is giving noughties vibes Credit: Tesco 3 It's already sold out in many sizes online And fashion fans have insisted the new denim dress is a must-have for summer, and they "need it so much it hurts". The 'OH ME OH MY Pure Cotton Halter Neck Denim Dress' is priced at £25. The supermarket find ranges from a size 6 to a size 22 and is available to order online. It 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. Read more in Fabulous The denim frock can be dressed up with sandals for an elevated look or worn with trainers or boots for a casual outfit for the perfect festival vibe. According to Tesco bosses, the F&F buy is a ' retro-inspired addition to your summer collection". Their online description adds: "Featuring a collared halter neckline and button down front, standout seam details add a sophisticated feel. "Wear solo on sunny days or add a chunky knitted cardigan for extra warmth when needed." Most read in Fabulous Fashion fans beam Fashion fan Not only this, but it's also amassed 23,000 likes and 230 comments, with many social media users left seriously impressed. I work at Tesco and there's so much newness in store - I love it all, but a holiday co-ord is sure to be a sell out "This is a need and a want, it's a must", one cried. A second wrote: "I had one of these back in 2000s." "It's coming back into fashion", echoed a third. A fourth gushed: "Omg I need it RIGHT NOW." A fifth insisted: "That is gorggg I'm going tomoz !!!" Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "I NEED this so much it hurts." Reasons to shop supermarket fashion When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap. They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply. They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought The supermarket frock's not the only noughties fashion buy that's got shoppers talking this week. Fashionistas have been left totally divided after spotting an iconic noughties trend that has made its way back to the high-street. The bandage dress first hit the catwalk back in 1989 as the grand finale of Hervé Léger's runway show, but it wasn't until the likes of Victoria Beckham and other celebrities went crazy for the dresses in the 00s that they became mainstream. And now, shoppers will again be able to get their hands on the iconic bandage dresses, as they are now back in House of CB. The much-loved chain took to Instagram to share the exciting news, leaving many totally stunned. Alongside the social media post showing off the new frocks, the chain penned: 'She's baaaaaack. Shop the birthday bandage collection now and be ready to serve some cake.' But many are fuming and are describing it as 'cheap and tacky'.
