Christina Mitsi, a content creator from the UK, shared her candid thoughts on seven outfits from F&F, which are not only affordable but incredibly flattering too.
The 5ft3 fashionista is a size 12/14 and posted her haul on social media with the caption 'If you're after budget wedding guest dresses then F&F Clothing at Tesco have a lovely selection at the moment and all under £36!'
As part of her recent wedding guest dress series, Christina gave her followers a close-up look at the new-in supermarket buys, as she said: 'Wedding guest dresses from Tesco - yes, Florence and Fred have a lovely selection this year.
'None of these are above £36 - absolute bargain.'
To kick off her haul, she modelled a blue and white floral frock, as she beamed: 'First of all, we've got this lovely blue one with the flowers. I thought the shape of this, the neckline in particular, is lovely.
'I love the puff sleeves, I think it's really nice and stretchy at the back.'
Next up, Christina tried on a black and white maxi dress, as she explained: 'This one as well is a size 14 and I think this is perfect for me - the back is absolutely gorgeous.
'The length as well is actually really good, I'm only 5ft 3in so this will be a little bit shorter if you average size, but I love this one.
'It's black and cream but I still think it's wedding appropriate - and a lovely neckline there, not showing too much, lovely.'
Following on from this, Christina was left beaming with a long-sleeve floral dress, as she continued: 'Look at this - perfect for twirling.

'I know it's black, but because there's so much pink and green in it, it is like a really nice colour. The ruffles make it ever so fancy and nice.
'This is one of the £36 ones, the rest were a lot cheaper as well, some even in the sale.
'Lovely one this one. The length is really good on me.'
She then modelled a 'gorgeous' sleeveless top and a maxi skirt, as she shared: 'So this is a skirt and the top separately - beautiful.
"I think together in the same colour, it would be gorgeous. I really, really liked this.'
And that wasn't all, as Christina then tried on a floaty mini dress, as she acknowledged: 'This one was lovely, I love how floaty this is, look at the arms.

'It makes you feel ever so floaty and feminine and nice, and I love that it's a little bit longer at the front than the back.
'Something a little bit different and really nice and comfortable to wear.'
The bargain hunter then shared her honest thoughts on a tiered dress, which will set shoppers back £36.
'To be honest it was a bit hard to get into it first because it has a tight dress underneath it.
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not.
Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride.
'It does give a lovely figure, everything's sort of sucked in and in place and nice.
'The colour I think is just a little bit ageing for me and doesn't really go with my skin tone, but it's still a lovely shape dress and I think this would suit a lot of people,' she reflected.
And finally, Christina looked gorgeous in the viral satin polka dot frock, as she concluded: 'Finally - I know what you're all gonna say, you can't wear white to a wedding, but I couldn't resist getting this one as well.
'As a lovely polka dot dress, I think this is gorgeous.'

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.
