Emily Atack champions Boden summer dress that flatters bigger busts The Inbetweeners and Rivals actress, 32, has professed her love for Boden's Paloma Jersey Maxi Dress, and it's not hard to see why Emily Atack swears by Boden for bigger busts and curves (Image: Instagram @emilyatack ) Navigating summer fashion can be a bit tricky, especially for those with a fuller figure or larger bust – many are familiar with the hunt for items that provide support and don't cling in undesired areas. Luckily, ASOS caters to the fuller bust crowd with a range of bras, bikinis, tops, and dresses designed to flatter. Pour Moi also steps up with a collection filled with dresses and tops ideal for the warmer months. However, it's Emily Atack who has delivered her top pick for summer clothing, praising Boden as her brand of choice. The star couldn't resist raving about Boden's Paloma Jersey Maxi Dress, a dream for anyone blessed with a bigger bust. Featuring a stylish smocked waist, comfortable jersey material, and a neckline that's bound to impress, the maxi dress, priced at £98, is nothing less than a wardrobe essential.

Emily displayed her preference for the blue/white Grecian pattern, although options are plentiful with classic black, vibrant emerald green, and a geometric pink/purple available too, reports the Mirror. This flattering maxi dress from Boden is perfect for holidays (Image: Instagram @emilyatack ) The Boden maxi dress has not only won Emily's approval but also garnered rave reviews from numerous customers, who have praised its perfect fit, practical pockets, and overall quality. One pleased customer shared: "I'm 5'5" and a size 14 and I bought the 14R. "I absolutely love this dress, the print is joyous and the style is very flattering." A shopper expressed her delight with the dress, stating: "Unlike some Boden dresses it's not too low at the front and joy of joys the arm hole is not too big and gives decent coverage for those of us with bits we'd like to disguise. "The regular length is just above my ankles. Would love this in a leopard print!". Another admirer added: "Love this dress! I'm 5'3" and bought 14 petite: it's a perfect fit. The Paloma Maxi is available to shop in four different colours (Image: Boden ) "The length is just above my ankles and the cut is perfect. Great to have pockets. Feels so comfortable yet stylish. "Bought for the South of France and can't wait to wear it! Do not hesitate in purchasing this dress. Highly recommend!" However, one customer had a slight issue, noting: "This is a really pretty, simple dress. It fit true to size. I'm 5'6", 130lbs. I liked the length and the material. "The waist is a bit high, but I find that with most Boden dresses". For those who admire Emily's fashion sense, we've also tracked down her favourite handbag. The exact model is the Deliberate Woven Shoulder Bag in Chocolate, retailing at £129. Article continues below While it does come with a heftier price tag of over £100, given its resemblance to the luxurious Bottega Veneta's woven handbags that sell for well above £1k, we reckon it's quite a bargain.

Teen Stuns Viewers as 'Vintage' Prom Dress Donated by Millennial Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Gen Z teen's dress-up session with her millennial neighbor's prom gowns has captured the internet's heart. Erinn Downing (@er1nnh), 34, from San Diego, shared a TikTok video of her 16-year-old neighbor trying on three of her old prom dresses—garments that Downing wore almost two decades ago, in 2006 and 2008. The video, which juxtaposed clips of the teen in each outfit alongside throwback photos of Downing wearing them at the time, has amassed 4.5 million views and 367,700 likes. "I am so happy I saved them! Watching her try them on brought me right back to being 16 and how beautiful I felt in those dresses! They brought back the joy and excitement of prom!" Downing told Newsweek. Downing shares an incredibly close bond with her neighbor, who she has known since the day she was born. The dresses included a floor-length green mermaid gown from Cache, a pink satin gown with diamante details around the chest and waist from Bloomingdale's, and a white gown with silver embellishments—also from Cache. Each one fit the teen perfectly. "Emily had mentioned that wearing 'vintage prom dresses' were 'in.' So luckily I had saved all of my dresses and were just goofing off one night where she tried them on and modeled them for my parents and her mom! My parents and especially my mom loved it because she had gone shopping with me for all three of the dresses so she loved re living it all through Emily, who is like a daughter to them both," she said.

She told Newsweek she got it because she was part of NCL—the National Charity League. "Seniors have a sort of debutant ball where they have to wear a white dress! When I found the white one it worked for both NCL presents and prom!" she said. As for the pink dress, the motivation was simple: "The pink one I'm sure I bought just because pink has and always will be my favorite color!" Of all three, Downing still holds a soft spot for the mermaid-style green gown. "My personal favorite is the green one! At the time I wore it—I felt the best in it! Something about that giant center stone and the mermaid flow made me feel invincible!" While it may seem surprising that clothes from the 2000s are now considered "vintage," the label isn't far off. According to Martha Stewart, an item is generally considered vintage if it is at least 20 years old but less than 100. That makes Downing's 2006 and 2008 prom dresses officially vintage as of the mid-2020s. The video also sparked a wave of nostalgia online, with TikTokers sharing memories and reactions to the throwback looks. "That white one was ahead of its time," commented one user. "Ok white one still slaps," added another. Jen chimed in: "Oh my god I had that white one in hot pink!" Others were astonished Downing had kept them all these years. "How do you even have these still? The only thing I've kept from high school is my senior yearbook," one viewer commented. And many millennial viewers had a moment of existential crisis. "'Vintage' just hurt my feelings. I was class of '08," said Anna McDowell. Ultimately, Emily did not end up wearing any of the dresses for prom, but Erinn is holding out for her senior year.

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.

New Horror Novels Full of All Types of Hauntings
We Live Here Now Pinborough's WE LIVE HERE NOW (Pine & Cedar, 287 pp., $28.99) starts off like a standard haunted house novel: There's a move to an old place in a remote location, and characters are dealing with the aftermath of something awful. There are creepy noises, unusually cold rooms, a looming raven and more. Yes, a list of clichés — but don't despair because this book quickly morphs into a Pinborough novel: atmospheric, immersive, surprising and as dark as wet tires. Emily suffered a fall that left her in the hospital with a shattered leg and fighting sepsis. After being discharged, she and her husband, Freddie, abandon their home in London and move into Larkin Lodge, a big house in Dartmoor. Like any old building, Larkin Lodge has creaks and drafts, but Emily thinks there's more going on. Books fly off the shelves, a protruding nail vanishes and then reappears, a Ouija board spells an incomplete message, and there's definitely something on the third floor. The house could be haunted, or post-sepsis psychosis could be making Emily hallucinate. More than just a haunted house novel, this is a supernatural psychological thriller. The closing chapters are a master class in twists. There's plenty of spooky stuff here, but what makes the book great is the way Pinborough mixes in Emily's human struggles. 'We Live Here Now' deals with grief, infidelity and dying love, in addition to blackmail, lies and murder. It's an intoxicating mix. This story is urgent and bold until the very end. The Night Birds Golden's THE NIGHT BIRDS (St. Martin's, 289 pp., $28) is a tense, chaotic horror novel that moves like a thriller. The Christabel — a half-sunken boat off the shore of Galveston, Texas — has sat abandoned for more than a century. Nature has reclaimed the vessel, which is now covered in mangroves and has been nicknamed the 'Floating Forest.' Charlie Book, an employee of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, is one of the scientists tasked with studying the strange ship, and he's so dedicated to the boat that he lives on it.
