Meanwhile, a stylish mum-to-be has revealed a new maternity dress from Dunnes Stores - and it's perfect for summer.
Pamela Laird, who posts under @pamela_laird on Instagram, shared her fabulous find at Dunnes Stores.
I'm pregnant and tried on new bump-friendly dress from Dunnes Stores for summer - here's how I styled it_1
Starting the video, she said: "Okay, it's day one of trying to find cute and comfy, most importantly, bump-friendly outfits.
"The bump has really popped in the last few weeks so it's been interesting trying to dress it but I picked up this lovely black dress in Dunnes."
Pamela revealed the stunning Savida Polyamide Twist Shoulder Dress for €25.
The dress plays with sculptural detail, draping across the body with gathered ruching and a twisted shoulder strap.
It is cut from a fluid fabric, it skims the figure before falling to a midi hem, striking the balance between ease and impact.
It's the perfect light layer choice for a warm day, and it can be seamlessly styled for many occasions.
She added: "It has kind of ruching over the stomach area so it's super comfy."
The dress is a dupe of SKIMS Petite Long Slip Dress, which is currently retailing at a whopping €96.
This means that fashion fans can save up to €71 when buying the Dunnes Stores' dupe version.
It is crafted from 94 per cent polyamide and 6 per cent elastane.
It's available in sizes XXS to XXL.
However, fashion fans are urged to act swiftly as it is expected to be a sell-out as the summer season fast approaches.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
"Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
"Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas."
The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
"Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England."
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

I'm celeb stylist on Dancing With The Stars – here's how choose swimwear, dress on a budget and the looks to avoid
AN Irish celebrity stylist revealed her top tips for rocking swimwear, trends to avoid and how to dress on a budget. Fiona Fagan told how she went from being a dancer to dressing DWTS hosts 5 Fiona Fagan revealed her top tips for dressing to impress this summer Credit: 5 Fiona works tirelessly to come up with new ways to impress DWTS viewers Credit: Instagram @fionafaganstylist 5 The Dublin native styled chat show host Graham Norton Credit: Instagram @fionafaganstylist She told The Irish Sun: 'I'm from Finglas but I moved to London. I lived there for 21 years where I was a dancer. 'Then I was a fitting model for lots of fashion brands which led me then into styling. 'So I used to be a fit model for Victoria Beckham, 'It was through that I got into styling because I worked very closely with the designers.' The Dubliner told how Fiona said: 'It was before her brand became really big. Her clothes are really good quality. They really are, they're cut so well.' While working in London for five years, Fiona built up a star studded client list. She gushed: 'I 'I also styled Randy Jackson, a judge on American Idol. We got on like a house on fire. 'He's so cool and he's so into fashion for a musician. We would go shopping in Brown Thomas every time he comes over. I would pick out a load of things for him. Jennifer Zamparelli shows off DWTS look 'He will ask for my opinion. It's like he's a fashion designer. So we have so much in common. I love working with him because he's so into fashion. 'I love working with Laura Whitmore as well, I work with her quite a bit. She always looks fabulous.' After making the big move home, Fiona became a stylist on RTE's Fiona said: 'That was so cool. It was just like going back to when I was a dancer and being on set. Recording live, all the costumes, all the lighting. 'It was just so familiar to me. It was like it was in my DNA. 'I loved it, it was so much fun and there were some great people on it. It was nice to come back to Ireland and do something like that. 'It's a really good show, it's done really well. And it's really nice to see that being done in Ireland. 'It's just fun. It's hard work now but it's a great team effort as well.' While everything looks cool and easy on screen each Sunday, there's a number of factors that come into play before style. Fiona explained: 'I will pick something I think that suits them. But it's generally the producers [who decide]. We have to camera test it to see if it looks good in the lighting. 'Then I'm also trying to pick stuff that's in stores now so people can go and buy it. 'But you don't always get to put what you want to put on them [the hosts]. 'Options, options, options, that's the key word. You always have to have loads of options.' CAMERA CAPTURES ALL A main struggle in dressing for TV is lighting and how items appear on the camera. Fiona said: 'Lighting can make things look funny. On camera things do look different than they do in real life. So a lot of shape and structure is really good for TV and the camera.' The stylist suggested influencers and vloggers choose what they wear in their videos wisely. She said: 'Horizontal stripes generally do make you look wider for sure. 'Sometimes a really fine polka dot is fuzzy on your eyes. So sometimes it doesn't look so good.' Fiona told how DWTS glitter and sparkle is not just for Christmas as it has already hit the high streets this summer. She said: 'Sequins is a trend that seems to be adapting from Dancing With The Stars. I have seen quite a few bits in Zara for summer. 'A little skirt with sequins can look really good with flip flops or even a trainer. You see Joanne McNally often rock something like that and it looks really cool.' STAPLES FOR EVERY WARDROBE Whether dressing for online, TV or daily life, Fiona insisted 'classic' and 'timeless' staples are key. She said: "I always say style tips for your wardrobe always have really core basics. 'Whether it's a good pair of jeans, a nice relaxed fit, high rise. Always look super clean and super classic and stylish. 'And you don't even need to go overboard with buying,spending lots of money. It's just about finding stuff that fit you really well and that's the key. It's trying and trying and trying things on. 'Wearing things that suit your body shape I think is really important. Don't follow fads and trends so much.' BUDGET STYLING The fashion lover insisted looking stylish can be done on a budget. She said: 'Buying key core pieces like a good fitted blazer, have that on your wardrobe. A nice pair of black trousers. 'I go into a load of vintage shops and charity shops as well. They have amazing stuff at the moment, especially NCBI. You can find lots of designer stuff in there.' Fiona stressed the importance of dressing for your body shape and size. She said: 'If you're really short, don't cut yourself off with a pair of boots, a long skirt and a top - then you cut yourself off in three ways. You're just going to look shorter. 'If you are tall, you can wear things that cut you in half a bit, if they make you look in proportion.' As the temperatures rise, Fiona urged shoppers to spend time finding swimwear that flatters your shape. CHOOSING SWIMWEAR Triangle bikinis, microkinis, tankinis, crossover, bandeau, cut-out swimsuits - the choice can be overwhelming. The former dancer said: 'I think the triangle bikini just really looks good on young people, in their 20s, that don't have big boobs. 'I love a really nice fitted swimsuit, a really nice black fitted swimsuit. 'A one shoulder swimsuit always looks really stylish on people who have busts. Also on older people, people more in their 30s or 40s. 'A high waisted bikini bottom looks great with a bandeau top, on all sizes of women. They suck your tummy in.' The DWTS stylist told how Marks and Spencer is her go-to place for swimwear at the moment. She said: 'Marks and Spencer are just brilliant at the minute. They've had a load of new designers in. The quality is really good. 'I know it's a bit more expensive. Their swimwear collection is so good. They've got lots of nice cover-ups, really cute cover-ups for swimwear.' STYLE NO-NO When it comes to fashion-faux-pas this summer, it's long denim skirts that are top of Fiona's no list. She said: 'They are not flattering. I know they had a bit of a comeback last year but I thought 'oh god no'. 'I just don't think they are flattering on anyone - whether you are slim, tall or curvy. I don't think they look good and they cut you off. I think they're an absolute no-no.' Sparkly or glitter trainers are also another fashion fail for Fiona. The number one thing for shoppers to remember this summer before hitting stores is to plan ahead. Fiona said: 'You are wasting your time if you go into the high street shops thinking 'It's summer, I just want to buy a lot of stuff'. 'Think clearly about what you're missing in your wardrobe. Think clearly on what you will wear that might carry you over into the winter. 'I would think 'buy more cleverly'. Buy your timeless pieces that will stay in your wardrobe and you think you will wear again.' 5 Fiona told how American Idol's Randy Jackson is very into fashion Credit: Getty Images for Fox 5 Fiona explained key factors that go into dressing Jennifer Zamparelli and Doireann Garrihy Credit: Instagram @fionafaganstylist
