I’m obsessed with F&F clothes – I found a flattering dress that cinches my waist, hides my tummy & is perfect for summer
HANDS up if you're struggling to find the perfect summer dress to add to your wardrobe?
Well, your search could finally be over...because a mid-size fashion fan named Rebecca has sent shoppers into meltdown after finding a super flattering frock that she claims cinches her in at the waist and helps to hide her tummy.
And perhaps the best part of all? It's from F&F at Tesco.
In the clip shared to TikTok (), Rebecca, who is inbetween a size 14 and 16, says: "I came back from holiday, had to get some milk and essentials and unfortunately this happened."
Showing off her mega supermarket clothes haul, she then begins by slipping into a stunning blue and white patterned dress, which she pairs with tan-coloured sandals.
Delighted with how the frock looks and fits, she enthuses: "Wow! This is a special dress!
"It's £35 but it's absolutely gorgeous!"
She continues: "How flattering is it? It's pulling me in at my waist.
"It's got this gorgeous sort of flutter sleeve detailing and the embroidery is all the way round.
"It's such an easy shape that pulls me in here, hiding my tummy."
Rebecca goes on to note how it's the "perfect midi length," before branding the supermarket frock an "absolute winner."
And for anyone eager to ditch dresses in favour of some summer tailoring, then Rebecca has a great alternative for you.
She then slips into a pair of 100% linen white shorts which cost £19.50 and matching £22.50 waistcoat from F&F's Edit collection.
Pointing to the waistcoat, she shares her expert fashion advice and notes: "This would also look super cute say with jeans."
As for the shorts, she enthuses: "It's a lovely linen quality that are a really nice and flattering left."
Rebecca goes on to point out that the stunning co-ord also comes in other colours if you're not brave enough to wear white.
"I think this is just such a lovely summer look" she adds.
Moving on, she then styles a £22.50 white and brown embroidered shirt with a pair of blue jeans.

"They did have matching shorts to go with this but unfortunately they didn't have my size," she explains.
"But I thought this would be such a nice way to show how to wear it in our English summer.
"It's got gorgeous detailing...I love the neutral tones in the embroidery and it's got a scalloped hem."
But if you're hoping to add an injection of colour into your wardrobe in the warmer months, then no fear...because the fashion whizz has got you covered.
Slipping into a head-turning blue co-ord, she says: "I already have this set in white and when I saw it in this bright cobalt blue, I got so excited.
"It's such a lovely colour!"
Rebecca continues: "The shorts are super flattering and they're fully lined, although the shirt isn't.
"I've laid it over a white vest just to show you how I would wear it around the UK but to be honest, I'd probably wear this as a co-ord on holiday over my swimsuit.
"It's a really nice set."
And last but not least, the fashionista opts for a white and black floaty patterned dress, which is priced at £29.50.
"Another very flattering shape pulling me in at my waist and skimming over my tummy," she says.
"I also love a puff sleeve.
"If you're conscious of your arms, this is such a nice shape to wear in the summer."
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds.
- Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25.
- There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.''
- Don’t forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
It wasn't long before the post quickly garnered an impressive 88k views from fashion fans across the nation - with one dress in particular proving a hit.
"Love the first dress," wrote one.
A second agreed: "Loved no 1 especially."
A third added: "Number 1 is beautiful!"
