As temperatures are set to reach 32°C in Liverpool this week, shoppers are rushing to buy a lightweight floral tea dress from New Look, priced at £22.99. The dress has become one of the retailer's most popular items, with 56 sold in the last 48 hours at the time of writing.
Vintage-inspired design in demand
The dress features short flutter sleeves and delicate lace trim, with a colour palette suited to the transition between seasons. Pink, orange, and white blooms stand out against the midnight black fabric. The A-line cut delivers an elegant silhouette, making it versatile for various occasions.

Alternative options from TU and Roman
As an alternative, TU is stocking the Mono Polka Dot Print Waisted Corset Midaxi dress for £14, reduced from £28. The product description says it features a timeless polka dot print and a flattering midaxi length, with a sleeveless design and scoop neckline. The corset-inspired detailing adds structure and a contemporary touch.
At the time of writing, the TU dress has been bought over 100 times in the past 48 hours and is the number two bestseller on the website. Availability is dwindling, with only sizes 6, 8, and 10 remaining. The dress holds four stars, with one shopper commenting: "Very happy with the fit and finish of the garment... delighted with all my recent purchases from TU. I have replaced my wardrobe as I have just lost 4.5 stone in weight."
Another shopper said: "The dress was nice enough fit, and style-wise, but I personally did not like the fabric, and this sent this one back. That sort of scratchy manmade netting is not something I can wear without a sensory overload. If you don't have that issue I am sure you will love this dress as definitely can be dressed up or down."
Meanwhile, Roman is offering a more vibrant Floral Print Frill Wrap Midi Dress for £42, reduced from £60.
