IRISH fashion fans are set to love a new beach dress that’s dropped in Dunnes Stores – and it comes in four colours.
The A-Line Jersey Maxi Dress has landed in stores across the country and is also available online.
The summer maxi dress has a round neckline and a full skirt.
With lightweight material, it’s ideal for travelling or popping into your beach bag.
Dunnes Stores designers said the dress is ideal for hot temperatures.
They said: “Crafted from a lightweight jersey cotton, this sleeveless maxi dress features a flattering high neckline.
“Cut to a classic a-line silhouette, it is perfect for staying cool on warm-weather days.”
Costing just €15, it’s the perfect summer go-to dress.
The relaxed maxi dress ranges in sizes XS to XXL.
Choose from the tropical floral black-cream pattern or blue-white combo.
For those who like block colours can opt for the fuchsia or navy.
It’s described as: “This A-line jersey maxi dress is an easy choice for warm days, thanks to its soft drape and relaxed shape.
“It features side seam pockets for a laid-back feel.”
Style the beach dress with sandals and add a belt for a sleek look.
Separately, shoppers can’t get enough of a new co-ord at Dunnes Stores that’s perfect for occasions.
Monica, @mon.fesa on Instagram, alerted her followers to her latest find.
She said: “Isn’t this co-ord beautiful?
“It is made of cotton so is super fresh to wear and the oversized stitched flowers on the trousers and top makes this outfit super chic and so pretty to wear.
“I added a boho style blouse with similar flower pattern in case it gets colder but I have to say that I prefer without it, this would be more my style… is this yours too?”
The Gallery Sylvie Sequin Top is a bargain at just €25 and comes in sizes 8 to 20.
The retailer said: “Crafted from a lightweight cotton, this top features an intricately stitched oversized flower motif that creates a striking three-dimensional texture.
“The straight neckline and thick shoulder straps offer a neat, structured silhouette.”
The Gallery Sylvie Sequin Trousers are priced at €35.
Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion – Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork.
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene.
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers.
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:
- 118 in the Republic of Ireland,
- 15 in Northern Ireland
- Five stores in Spain.
