The stunning gown features short flared sleeves, a plunging v-neckline and has a ribbed material across the dress.
The waist is elasticated and fitted, while the skirt flows below it – creating a gorgeous and flattering silhouette.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion chiefs wrote: “From Gallery, this dress features a flattering v-neck and pleats down the front, creating a sleek, timeless look.
“The lightly puffed sleeves and subtle side seam pockets add to its effortless style, while a thin belt with a silver buckle sits at the waist.
“Finished with a soft lining for comfort, this piece is perfect for any occasion.
“Gallery is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
To wear with the dress, shoppers can pick up a new pair of summer sandals that are also a hit with fans.
The Italian Wedge Sandals are available online and in stores across the country.
A staple of most wardrobes, guaranteed to go with nearly every look, a pair of wedges is always a good investment.
The striking wedges have leather-look straps and an espadrilles sole.
Retailing at €30, the wedges are a piece you will turn to again and again.
Dunnes Stores bosses said the wedges are very versatile.
They said: “These Italian wedge sandals are a go-to for warm-weather dressing, designed with faux leather straps, an open toe, and a classic buckle fastening.
“The wedge heel adds just the right amount of lift, perfect for pairing with everything from jeans to dresses.”
The new wedges, available in gold or white, come in sizes 36 to 41.
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.
