Some customers were disappointed in the fabric, however. One said: "Don't buy this set unless you are a fan of either a crumpled bed or of serious ironing. I fully expected to have to run an iron over it, after washing it, but this was hard work. "
And another found the dimensions were too big for her duvet saying: "Duvet cover too big for our duvet which is such a shame. It looks nice but cut too big for a king size duvet so lots of excess cover."

'Luxurious' Dunelm bedding that's 'soft and snuggly' gets 20% price cut in sale
'Love this bedding, great quality, velvet material, vibrant colours and washes well! Well worth the money.' For those who want to change up the style and vibe of their bedroom, all they need to do is switch up their bedding. As there are so many different styles of bedding out there, simply switching from a checkered style to a vibrant floral pattern can have a big impact. For those in need of some new bed clothes, Dunelm is currently holding its summer sale, which is seeing some popular items get price cuts as big as 50 per cent. With loads of bedding included in the sale, shoppers are spoilt for choice. For those looking for something vibrant, Dunelm has slashed the price of the Tropical Treasures Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set. Usually retailing for between £36 and £52, the homeware retailer has taken a 20 per cent slash to every bedding size. Shoppers can now snatch up the single for £28.80 and the double for £33.60. For those who own a king size or super king bed, the prices are slightly higher at £38.40 and £41.60 respectively. Dunelm promises that this Treasures Bedding set will transform a bedroom into a lush oasis, due to its stylish tropical pattern, reports The Mirror. Crafted from recycled polyester, the botanical design will infuse your space with colours and natural beauty. Including matching pillowcases for a cohesive look, the bedding features a secure button closure to ensure that the duvet stays in place during the night. Additionally, for those who want to complete the aesthetic, Dunelm is also selling a range of items in the same design, including pillows and curtains. Tropical Treasures Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set £36 - £52 £28.80 - £41.60 Dunelm Buy Now Product Description Another gorgeous set in the Dunelm sale is the Watercolour Circles Teal Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set. Normally retailing for between £14 and £30, shoppers can snap up this calming set for the slightly cheaper prices of £11.20 to £24. Alternatively, Argos is also selling their Home Cotton Botanical Floral White Bedding Set. The single is retailing for £20, the double is £24 and the king size is £28.

Back to Dunelm's Tropical Bedding, shoppers have awarded the set an almost perfect rating of 4.8 stars. On top of this, of the 65 reviews, 58 of them gave the vibrant set five-stars. One delighted shopper said: "Love this bedding, great quality, velvet material, vibrant colours and washes well! Well worth the money." With another happy shopper adding: "Absolutely beautiful duvet set. Luxurious, great to sleep in and a great price. I loved it soo much I purchased the curtains to match. I would highly recommend this product." However, one shopper wasn't impressed, writing: "The quality and colours look and feel lovely, but after one wash a noticeable change in colour fading which was very disappointing." With a four-star reviewer noting: "Only one minor criticism, and that's the way my duvet moves around inside it. Every morning I have to work out where the corners have gone because it's no longer sitting straight inside the cover. "This is probably because the duvet has the patterned textured side and a lighter weight smoother underside. It was annoying at first, but I've got used to it." On the flip side, a five-star reviewer commented: "These feel luxuriously soft and beautifully made. With the matching cushions and curtains, this design has made a drab room look great!" While a sixth shopper added: "Very luxurious and great quality! Can't wait to get in to bed each night. Best purchase I've made in a long time! The material is beautifully soft and snuggly."

‘I NEED that bag!' fashion fans yell about Next's fruity new accessory as they praise store's ‘insane' summer collection
A GOOD bag has the power to elevate any ordinary outfit into something extra special. So it comes as no surprise that fashion fans are racing to their nearest Next, in a bid to get their hands on one of the stunning new lemon handbags. 6 6 6 6 The store shared some of its favourite summer items in a picture slideshow on TikTok. "Psssttt - wanna see some of our fave accessories for summer?" they wrote over the top of the first snap. They then showed off the bag in question - a gorgeous beaded bright yellow number designed to look like a segment of lemon. "They need no introduction," they wrote over the picture. The £55 beaded bag also comes in an equally cute watermelon design. And it was clear the bag is going to be a sought after accessory this summer, judging by the hundreds of people commenting on the TikTok. "Neeeed that lemon bag," one wrote. "We love the lemon and watermelon bags, Next!" another praised. "Fruitylicious on the beach." "The lemon bag is going on the wishlist!" a third gushed. The summer trend dividing style queens - some call it a 'girl's best friend' but it brings back bad memories for others "Obsessed, beaded heaven," someone else said. "Sold. God sakes!" another joked. Other items included in the picture slideshow were a gorgeous shell necklace, which was paired with a green co-ord. And there are a fair few bags to choose from in store at the moment too. Like the "perfect summer beach bag" - a stunning cream option with tassels and intricate crochet detailing. Cow print is also a big trend this summer, with a neck scarf coming in the pattern to "elevate any outfit". 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. And there are even lace-up cow print loafers - sure to divide style fans. Fruit continues to be a big theme, with a red bag featuring miniature strawberries on it. The comments section was once again filled with people praising Next for the epic offerings, with one insisting: "Omg need it all!" "Next have excelled this summer," another added. "I fear Next is eating the other high street shops up atm???????" a third mused. "Erm ok slay!!!!!!!!" someone else commented. "Your summer pieces are insane!" another mused. While someone else said they "can't afford this". "Next is doing so good this season!" someone else concluded. 6 6
