Dunnes Stores fans set to love new €30 dress with ‘feminine summer look’
DUNNES Stores shoppers are set for a frenzy over a pretty new midi dress that has just landed in stores – and it’s only €30.
The Lace Insert Printed Midi Dress is available on the website and in stores.
Dunnes Stores chiefs said the frock has a “feminine summer look”.
They said: “Cut from pleated viscose fabric, this midi dress features lace detailing across the chest and decorative frills along the neckline and sleeves.
“Completing this feminine summer look, the dress displays a pretty floral print and an elasticated waist to define the silhouette.”
Retailing at €30, the floral dress ranges in sizes XS to XXL.
The summer dress is perfect for all occasions from BBQs to weddings.
The fashion giant styled the dress with nude coloured heels.
The Mid-Heel Closed Back Sandals, retailing at €20, are a staple that you will keep reaching for.
With a block heel, the shoes will go with most outfits.
Their description reads: “Simple yet versatile, these shoes are the perfect accessory for a wide range of outfits, whether you pair them with denim or dresses. They have a square toe, block heel, and an ankle strap.”
The block heels come in sizes 36 to 41 but many sizes have sold out online already.
Shoppers will need to bag popular sizes in their local store.
Dunnes Stores bosses have also dropped the Mini Crochet Dress that’s perfect for holidays.
Hailed the “perfect beach cover-up” by Dunnes officials, the dress is available online and in stores nationwide.
The mini dress sit above the knee and is the ultimate cover-up to wear this summer when you are on holidays.
It is available for only €20 both online and in store.
It has flared long sleeves which could be great for some coverage against the sun.
The party is in the back with this cover-up though as it has a low scoop back.
And you can tie the back closed into a bow which will drape down your back.
The tie fastens just behind your neck to ensure a secure fit.
The gorgeous crochet pattern runs horizontally across the dress.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
