My bargain Shein haul if you're struggling this wedding season & the dress you couldn't pay me to expose my cleavage in
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WEDDING season is officially in full swing - but finding the perfect frock can often prove to be a real challenge. Searching through thousands of results on numerous websites for a stunning wedding guest dress can often feel like a full-time job and when you're a tall girl, it's even harder. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 With a wedding to attend right around the corner, here, Abby Wilson shares her honest thoughts on six dresses from Shein Credit: Abigail Wilson 8 Not only did she get candid on the biggest loser of them all, but she also revealed the dress fashionistas will need to race to nab Not only do you want a frock that will fit nicely and be bloat-friendly as well as suitable for hours of dancing, but many of us are after something that won't burn a hole in our purse. As a result, Abby Wilson, a Senior Digital Writer, who is a size 12 and 5ft7, ordered six wedding guest dresses from Shein, on a mission to find the best bargain buy that is not only the right length and fit, but is affordable too. Here, the Shein shopper shares her honest thoughts on her recent haul, including the best dress you won't want to miss. As well as this, the bargain hunter also got candid on the biggest let down of all, that left very little to the imagination… Dress #1, Floral Strapless Maxi Dress When I saw this Strapless Maxi Dress on the Shein website, I instantly knew I had to have it. 8 This dress scored a 4/5 Credit: Abigail Wilson As well as being super trendy, it's also not too tight, which is great for a post-wedding meal and endless glasses of Prosecco. While it was originally £24.99, I managed to get it for just £15.49, which I think is a real steal. As well as being purse-friendly, it immediately left me really impressed when I tried it on. It's pretty, floaty and in my books, is perfect for a summer wedding. My rating: 4/5 Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Dress #2, Lavishia Solid Color Mini Dress My hopes were incredibly high for this Solid Color Mini Dress, which had been slashed from £15.99 to £8.27. 8 But this frock was a big loser Credit: Abigail Wilson It looked gorgeous in the pictures, but was somewhat of a horror show when it arrived. Yes, beggars can't be choosers when spending less than a tenner on a dress, but unfortunately, there was not much right and a lot wrong with this frock. The material of the dress, particularly the skirt part, felt very cheap and rather than chic, how it appeared online, it instead looked a bit of a flop on my figure. I liked the colour and neck scarf, but the material of the bodice didn't do me any favours, making this dress something I couldn't force myself to wear out of the house, let alone to someone's special day. My rating: 2/5 Dress #3, Plunging Back A-Line Dress I imagined I would feel out of this world in this A-Line Dress, but the plunge neckline was not appropriate for any event, let alone a wedding. 8 This dress left very little to the imagination Credit: Abigail Wilson The saving was impressive - while it was once £24.99, it had been reduced down to only £11.68 - but you couldn't pay me to bare my cleavage in this. The colour was nice and the material was great for the price, but when it says plunge, this dress really means plunge. 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. My entire chest, literally everything, was on show with this maxi dress, which made me feel more exposed than ever before. If you're not afraid to get your assets out, it might not be a total loser, but for me, it's a definite no go. My rating: 1/5 Dress #4, Sleeveless Ruffle Tiered Spaghetti Strap Dress Yellow is super on trend at the moment and what perfect colour for a destination wedding on a sunny day? 8 If you're searching for something flattering, this could be your best bet Credit: Abigail Wilson I'm a huge fan of ruffle dresses, which are super flattering for those who are self-conscious of their tummy. This Spaghetti Strap Dress, which I got for just £19.49, after it was reduced from £31.49, left me beaming. Not only is the shade gorgeous, but it's super comfy and a great length too. To top it off, it's also got a lovely tie back detail and for less than £20, is a win win in my books. My rating: 4/5 Dress #5, Halter Tiered Chiffon Maxi Dress With a 48% off saving, bringing this Chiffon Maxi Dress from £29.49 to £15.38, it was a great price, but not so great a dress. 8 This dress comes up very large and is super heavy Credit: Abigail Wilson As well as being incredibly heavy, it didn't look anything like the picture and barely covered my side boob. It comes up big and if you want something that looks like a sack, then it might be for you, but for me, I'll be sending it straight back. While it is described in the listing as 'elegant', in my opinion, it's the total opposite. Yes, it arrived quickly thanks to the fast posting of Shein Club, but it left me not very disappointed with the unflattering, oversized fit. My rating: 2/5 Dress #6, Asymmetrical Neck Ruched Ruffle Hem Dress Last, but certainly not least, this Ruched Ruffle Hem Dress is the star of the show for me. 8 This frock took the top spot, with a five out of five rating Credit: Abigail Wilson Not only is the colour great, but it's super flattering too. While I thought it might be somewhat uncomfortable, this £13.49 frock, which had been reduced from £28.49, proved me very wrong (in the best way). If you're searching for a last-minute wedding guest dress, you'll want to nab this, and fast Abby Wilson My partner gasped when he saw it and not only is it sure to turn heads, but even better, it's really comfortable too. I'm normally more of a flowy dress kind of girl, but now I'm not surprised this beautiful, bold frock is a Shein bestseller.

'Gangster gran' banned from Asda for 'yellow sticker scam' vows to clear name
A 'gangster granny' accused of being the mastermind of an elaborate supermarket discount scam is fighting back against the allegations of Gran Theft Auto. Jan Rhodes, 67, was barred from her local Asda on Hall Road, in Norwich after allegedly operating a yellow sticker scam. The supermarket claims to have caught her red-handed swapping reduced stickers on products in the store. They handed a three-year ban to Jan, who has shopped at the superstore since 2015. She is now clapping back, claiming Asda have 'got the wrong gran'. Jan told the Eastern Daily Press: 'I went in to buy three things and while I was there, the security came up to me and said I wasn't allowed in anymore. I've never done that [switch stickers]. 'I'm angry and I'm upset. I used to go in there all the time. I know loads of them in there. I just want to prove them wrong.' The scheme she is accused of involves swapping reduced labels on products to net cheap deals, all before fleeing on her mobility scooter. The beef revolves in part around a pack of bacon. Jan is alleged to have bought the meat the day before she was banned as part of her yellow sticker trick. But her husband Rob says she bought the pack on the same day it was expiring. He went back to the store to try and show the expiration date in an effort to clear her name. The gran's stepdaughter, Leanne Hutchings, has rushed to the store to plead her stepmother's case. More Trending Leanne said: 'They say she's been doing it for a prolonged period of time. 'I explained saying that this is a case of mistaken identity. They also said she's been abusive. She would never be nasty to someone.' A spokesman for Asda said: 'We ask all customers to treat our colleagues and stores with respect and do not tolerate any form of abuse. 'While banning a customer is always a last resort, this decision was taken due to repeated disruptive and abusive behaviour.'

Wetherspoon chief feeling 'clucking good' about pub giant
Wetherspoon, which has an estate of nearly 800 pubs, said it is on course to meet profit expectations for the year, despite hikes in employer national insurance contributions, national living and national minimum wage that took effect in April. Derren Nathan, head of equity research, Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'JD Wetherspoon's flamboyant chairman Tim Martin was keen to point out a 'clucking good' performance for chicken in recent weeks, where volumes are now up around 50% compared to pre-pandemic levels. But it's the sunny weather that's helped sales keep tracking in the right direction. Given that June was the warmest on record, some investors may have been hoping for a bit more organic growth than the 5.1% seen in the final quarter of the year. Read more: 'But, despite the impact of increased labour costs, analyst forecasts expect operating profit to land a little ahead of last year at close to £140 million, with the bottom line also benefitting from reduced interest payments. The group has been trimming the tail of its estate by dropping underperforming units and is now leveraging its efficient operating model and brand strength to grab further market share. Its ambitions for new openings next year have risen from 10 to 15, with a similar number planned for the capital-light option of franchised units. Flagging consumer confidence remains a near-term threat but, overall, the JD Wetherspoon looks in good shape with the shares offering reasonable value, compared to the peer group.' Mr Martin, chairman of JD Wetherspoon, said: 'The company has benefitted from favourable weather in the fourth quarter, so that profits are anticipated to be in line with market expectations, notwithstanding the high tax and labour increases for the hospitality industry, which have been widely reported. In the next financial year, as well as investing in areas such as staff rooms, glass racks for 'branded' glasses, and gardens, the company plans to open approximately 15 new managed pubs and about the same number of franchised pubs. 'Sales volumes, which were very slow post-pandemic, have recently overtaken pre-pandemic levels. Wine, for example, has shown strong growth, with Villa Maria from New Zealand and Prosecco from Italy both shooting the lights out. Spirits have improved in recent months and whisky volumes are significantly above pre-pandemic levels. 'Draught volumes are performing strongly with Guinness being the standout performer. On the food front, breakfasts, terribly slow post-pandemic, have recovered their lustre and are now well ahead. Chicken, also, has put in a clucking good performance and volumes in recent weeks are up by about 50% compared to pre-pandemic levels.' Wetherspoon will report its preliminary results for the 52 trading weeks to July 27 on October 3. Shares closed up 2% or 15.5p at 795.5p.
