One dress that has seen shoppers rush to the tills is a lovely summery boho dress, perfect for holidays.
The new Gallery Stella Boho Belted Midi Dress is now available online and in shops across the country.
It’s the ideal piece to wear over the spring but shoppers must be fast as the dress is expected to be a big hit.
Boho style has never really disappeared since its first trend in the 60s and 70s as it was inspired by the hippie movement’s iconic fashion.
But the style has continued to be beloved by fashion fans ever since.
Boho fashion includes loose, flowing fabrics, bold and vibrant patterns, earthy tones, layering and stand-out silhouettes.
The Gallery Stella Boho Belted Midi Dress will only set you back €40.
It also features a flattering belt, long sleeves and a v-neckline.
And the dress comes in rust and in sizes 8 to 20.
Fashion bosses said: “Cut to a flowy silhouette, this dress from Gallery features a delicate ruffle collar, elegantly accented by a v-shaped neckline and a chic tie closure.
“Falling to a midi-length, it is designed with a tie belt that creates a flattering shape.
“Gallery is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
You can embrace the boho chic style with this new dress, blending romanticism, comfort and originality in a single piece.
Dunnes Stores fans are urged to act swiftly as it is selling out fast due to its popularity.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at the standout piece.
Edwina Fitzgerald shared a short clip, posting under @efitzstylenbeauty, to Instagram for her followers.
At the beginning of the video, she reveals the dress hanging on the railing.
The style lover then tries it on, looking stunning in the piece.
She shows hw the frock is double-lined, making it the perfect dress to wear all day – even when the temperatures drop in the evening.
The gown has long puffy sleeves, with cinched material at the wrists.
It features a plunging v-neckline with a tie so you can choose how open or closed it is.
The midi dress comes with a brown belt, which cinches her in at the waist leaving the skirt flowing beneath it.
Shoppers can pair the dress with some high heels for a summery look, or with trainers for a more casual outfit.
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.
