Nobody's Child cotton dress with pockets is under £50 and ideal for the heatwave
The pink mini dress is the perfect way to nail this season's boho chic trend whilst keeping cool and comfortable in the heatwave, and it's now got £20 off
With the heatwave still in full swing and summer approaching, our wardrobes are finally ready for the official switch to warmer weather clothes. Lightweight, breezy and comfortable is essential, as well as being flattering and easy to wear – and this Pink Long Sleeve Starlight Mini Dress from Nobody's Child checks off every box.
The pale pink mini dress is an easy to style wardrobe staple, and combines this season's love of the boho chic trend with a timeless design. Plus as an added bonus, it currently has £20 slashed off the price, taking it from £69 to £48.30.
Fabric is one of the most important choices when it comes to your summer wardrobe, as you want things that'll help keep you cool whilst also wicking away sweat. The Starlight Mini Dress nails this with its 100% organic cotton fabric, which makes it breathable and lightweight enough to wear even on the hottest days.
It comes in two different lengths, petite and regular, and is still available in all sizes from a 4 to an 18, so you can get the perfect fit. The low V-neck and fit and flare design is flattering on all body shapes, and the panelled waistband helps accentuate your waist without being too tight or clingy – two things you definitely don't want when the temperatures are rising.
The A-line skirt skims your body and flares out, keeping it light and floaty. Although the long sleeves might be a little much on a truly scorching day, they help protect your skin from the sun's rays as well as giving you some extra coverage on a chilly summer night.
Their loose puff design stops them being too hot or suffocating, though, as well as adding a little extra drama. You can also pick up a short sleeve version, as well as being able to nab the dress in other colours like pale blue and black.
If you want some other short sleeve options, this Navy Blue 100% Cotton V-Neck Jersey Mini Summer Dress is a bargain at £19, with a V-neckline, puff skirt and loose relaxed fit. Meanwhile Uniqlo's Linen Blend Mini Dress is £34.90 and made from another summer essential material – linen – which keeps you cool in the heat.
For something more fitted, the Wren Double Cloth Short Dress from Boden is slightly pricier at £89 and has a nipped in waist with a loose flowing skirt and bodice to keep you from overheating. It's also available in petite, regular and tall lengths, and sizes 4 to 22.
Our favourite design feature about the Starlight Mini Dress, though, is that it has two side pockets. It's also super easy to style, whether you wear it with sandals on holiday, heels for dinner or even loafers for work.

‘Pretty' summer dress ‘flying off the rails' at Sainsbury's – it's only £22.50, easy to wear and keeps you cool
SHOPPERS are racing to snap up a "pretty" supermarket dress that keeps you cool and comfortable - but still fashionable. Tu Clothing, the in-house fashion label for Sainsbury's, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices. 2 And if you like to look on-trend on a budget, this supermarket frock is for you. Shoppers have hailed the new Sainsbury's shirt dress as a "fabulous" outfit for summer holidays, and the animal print is the perfect extra touch. The "pretty" Brown Printed Popover Shirt Dress is priced at £22.50 and is available in sizes six to 24. Describing the mini dress online, Sainsbury's bosses said: "An easy-to-wear option for summer outings and city breaks, our brown shirt dress comes in a popover style with a collar and v-neckline. "Designed in a contemporary print, finished with front pockets. Cut to a mini length." Although it's being advertised as a summer frock, fashion fans have also insisted it will be the perfect transitional piece for autumn with a pair of tights. And it has already racked up five-star reviews from satisfied shoppers - who have insisted it's "flying off the rails". "Great style, so versatile and lovely colour", one person gushed. A second wrote: "Absolutely love this beautiful material washes lovely Lovvvvve it." "Very cool and comfortable dress, great value", chimed in a third. Tesco fans are set to love the latest items in stores for 25 per cent off when you use clubcard A fourth added: "I couldn't resist this very up to date dress, they had flown off the rail so I ordered online. "Such a pretty safari type print, quality material. It worn over leggings or a thin top on cooler days and keeps the sun off the neck area on a hot day." "Fabulous holiday piece", cried a fifth. Meanwhile, a sixth said: "With dresses mostly being maxi or dragging along the floor I was pleased to find a better fitting length as I'm only 5ft. "Sits below the knee, nice material & colour. I purchased my usual size & although roomy I prefer more loose fitting clothes." 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.

Boden's new swimsuit looks just like the one Sophie wore in the Mamma Mia movie
"Very figure-flattering on D cups and plenty of coverage" If you're after a swimsuit that mixes summer style with clever built-in support, Boden's new Levanzo Halter Swimsuit in Blue Dahlia is worth a look. With its flattering neckline and Mediterranean print, we think it looks just like the iconic blue and white suit Sophie wore in Mamma Mia. You know, when she was dancing around on the rocks. Her exact swimsuit from the movie is an out-of-stock Michael Kors one, which would have set you back hundreds of pounds. However, Boden's Levanzo suit is on offer for £76. Better yet, use the code JM7D and you can nab it for £64.60 thanks to a summer promotion the website has this week. The halter style of the suit has a definite retro charm. With a ruched front and supportive lining, it's designed to shape without squeezing, and several Boden customers have said the fit is particularly flattering. One reviewer shared, 'Very figure flattering (D cup plenty coverage). I bought the long after reading reviews (I'm 5"5 average body length) and it fitted well. I like a decent chest coverage.' That same customer went back for another colour– a clear vote of confidence. The print itself is Blue Dahlia, a soft floral design in oceanic tones of blue and white. It's a pattern that works equally well poolside or on a beach, and it's not too loud. Paired with a sarong or simple shorts, it has that relaxed, Grecian-holiday appeal without feeling overly styled. In terms of sizing, there have been mixed comments. One shopper noted, 'Far too small,' while another said, 'I ordered two sizes (my usual size and a size up) and went with the bigger size as it gives a bit more chest coverage but would say it's roughly true to size.' So if you're between sizes or after a bit more coverage, sizing up might be the better option. It's also worth mentioning the attention to quality. 'Quality feels great (although I haven't used it yet),' said one reviewer. 'Great customer service — my return was processed very quickly.' The swimsuit is made from recycled materials too, so there's a feel-good factor that goes beyond just the style. For those wondering whether it's a swimsuit for swimming or just for show, the feedback is reassuring. 'Love this costume, really flattering,' one woman wrote. 'I am 52 and a size 12 with a bit of a belly. I felt great in this and think it will get a lot of wear. I think it's fine for swimming too.' It's good to know this one isn't just about looking good on a sunlounger. The price point is a little high, so it's not the cheapest on the high street, but with Boden's track record for durability and customer care, it's likely to last beyond one holiday season. However, if you want to copy Amanda Seyfried's Mamma Mia style, we also love Cupshe's Catalina Crush Floral One-Piece Swimsuit, £28, which has a similar pattern and cut.
