White Stuff dress that ‘hides lumps and bumps’ drops from £75 to £45

As we head into spring, fashion label White Stuff continues to offer discounts to shoppers, and there’s a standout item you won’t want to miss. The Lucy Midi Dress is a stunning choice, with 342 customers rating it five stars. It’s usually priced at £75, making it one of the more expensive items from a high street shop; however, for a limited period, shoppers can grab it for £45. That’s a total saving of £30. The midi dress with three-quarter-length sleeves showcases an abstract print with a bold blue background, along with a v-neck cut.
Customers are pairing theirs with boots and tights during in colder weather, as well as planning to wear it throughout spring and summer. If you have a wedding in your diary, it’s a perfect pick, ensuring you stay comfortable while looking stylish.The Lucy dress is available in sizes six to 24, and you can opt for either petite or regular skirt length. It’s made from 100% Ecovero viscose, a breathable fabric, so you shouldn’t feel too hot when the weather gets warmer or when layered under a jacket.
And it’s not just the print that has customers raving – the dress’ silhouette cinches in at the waist without feeling tight. The flowing skirt lends the dress a relaxed vibe, but it can still be dressed up with gold jewellery and heeled sandals.
White Stuff’s Lucy dress has received glowing reviews from customers who have taken to the website to share their thoughts. One delighted customer raved: “I bought this dress as I was attracted to the beautiful colours as I already had this style but with a longer sleeve. The material is a lovely quality and the dress hangs beautifully. It looks fabulous and is a very flattering fit. I bought it in the sale too, so it was of brilliant value!”
Another fan of the dress commented: “Such a beautiful, flattering dress and the colours are fabulous. Very comfortable to wear. Looks great with boots, heals or sandals.”
A third customer chimed in: “I bought the pink and turquoise version and the shape is so flattering. I’ve had loads of compliments and I feel very summery in it. The sleeves are elbow length on me (hiding my saggy arms) which is great and the overall length is perfect as a midi dress.”
One buyer praised the addition of pockets, saying: “This is my second Lucy Eco Vero dress, and I like it as much as the first. The style is really flattering and hides my lumps and bumps!”
However, the Lucy dress wasn’t a hit with everyone. One customer explained that it didn’t flatter their figure: “The dress itself didn’t suit me at all. Even though the material was lovely there was just to much of it. The sleeves and skirt were huge. Which was a real shame.”
Another eye-catching dress for the upcoming season is the Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress from Roman with its figure-flattering ruched waistline. Boden continues to impress with their range of dresses. The Willow Tiered Jersey Dress is a firm favourite, and the Kate Midi Shirt Dress is flying off the shelves.

‘Great quality’ M&S bedding praised for offering ‘luxurious comfort’

There is no better feeling than grabbing some fresh new bedding and jumping into bed – it’s the simple things in life. Particularly as the brighter months approach, for many, it’s a season of out with the old and in with the new – and that includes bedsheets.
Shoppers wanting to refresh their bedding can now take home the M&S X Fired Earth Washed Cotton Duvet Cover for between £37.50 to £59, depending on the size needed, a luxurious duvet cover that makes bedtime all the more inviting.
The cream covers range from a single (3ft) bed, all the way to super king size (6ft), ensuring that there is an option for everyone. Crafted from pure cotton, the bedding is sure to help buyers have a cosy and peaceful sleep
The simplistic design features slim border trims with subtle bauble stitching to add a little extra spice. The bedding can be washed at 40 degrees and tumble dried at a low temperature. Pillowcases are sold separately, and they would be the perfect addition to finish off the whole look.
If cream isn’t the aesthetic buyers are going for, they can choose from a range of colours including plain white, teal green, brown and a variety of others.
With a 4.3 out of 5 rating from a total of 459 reviews, customers have shared their experiences with the M&S X Fired Earth range as one wrote: “Great quality and colour, comfortable to sleep under.”
“This is the second set of Washed Cotton bedding I have bought and would definitely recommend it for the cooler months as it feels warmer when getting into bed,” said another buyer.
“Fired Earth bedding was bought for my granddaughter. She will only use this range. I would say it’s for a casual look. She loves it,” wrote another buyer.
Some, however, weren’t as pleased with one shopper writing: “The duvet cover is OK. Nothing special really and I feel it’s overpriced…iIt’s very thin and not the quality I was expecting for what I paid.”
“This bedding looks nice enough but is quite thin for the price tag. I bought the brushed cotton pillow cases in a matching colour as well and they are much better quality. I wish I had just bought the brushed cotton set instead as it’s cheaper and the quality is far nicer,” said another.
If this set doesn’t quite fit a shopper’s aesthetic, they could opt for the Prescot Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set which ranges between £16 and £26 from Dunelm. The green set comes with pillowcases and is made from 100% printed velour. They could also try the Green and White stripe duvet cover and pillowcase set from Next which ranges between £14 to £30 and also comes with pillowcases, and is made from polyester and cotton percale.

White Stuff’s £75 ‘slimming’ non-iron dress with pockets falls to £38

As the season transitions into spring, fashion fans are swapping their cosy winter wear for breezier springtime attire. Those looking to refresh their wardrobe should consider heading to the White Stuff website. The beloved high street chain is currently running an up to half-price sale on numerous items, with the highly sought-after Rua Embroidered Dress among them. Originally retailing at £75, the dress is now almost 50% off, reduced to £38.
This Rua dress is lovingly made from organic cotton and modal blend, offering both comfort and functionality. It features a striking green shade with two concealed side pockets and a cinched waist for added shape. Dubbed as ‘slimming’, the midi dress is available in UK sizes four to 24 and comes in both petite and regular lengths, designed to hit that perfect mid-point below the knee and above the ankle, ensuring it’s both stylish and practical.
With its universal appeal for women of all shapes and sizes, the Rua Embroidered Dress is suitable for every event, from a simple day out to more upscale occasions. It has earned an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars from over 2,200 reviews, reports the Manchester Evening News.
A satisfied customer shared their experience: “Easy to wear and comfortable. Good fit to size and does not need ironing so great for travelling.”
One satisfied customer commented: “Nice fitting dress. It suits any occasion. Either casual or for a special event. Love the colours.”
Another person mentioned: “Lovely dress. So easy to wear, love the long sleeves and pockets. Great colours. A winner.
“The dress is a good addition to my wardrobe,” stated another, adding that ” It fits well and I think it is quite slimming. I like the position of the pockets, useful but do not add bulk in the hip area.”
Another review pointed out: “The fabric hangs well and doesn’t crease. A bargain in the sale. Haven’t washed it yet though. That’s always a good test.”
Meanwhile, one shopper wasn’t as enthused about the Rua Embroidered Dress, leaving a three-star review that remarked: “Very unremarkable, neither striking nor stylish, pretty nor alluring, just rather drab. It was just a very uninteresting dress.”
Yet, another customer expressed delight with their White Stuff purchase, saying: “Love the Rua dress, I now have three. So flattering and comfortable. Can dress up or down for casual outings. Wash beautifully.”
Elsewhere, Boden has announced up to 70% off in its midseason sale, offering deals such as the Thea Long Sleeve Jersey Dress now at £36 from £90, and the Kate Sleeveless Shirt Dress reduced to £50 from £125.
