Frankie Bridge has shared the one dress she’s been wearing on repeat this summer – coming in four colours, it’s the perfect piece for your holiday wardrobe
Many fashion fans struggle to dress in the summer months, since finding clothes that are as cool and comfortable as they are stylish can be a challenge. But Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge has just discovered an affordable high-street dress that ticks all the boxes for your warm weather wardrobe.
Taking to Instagram for the latest instalment of her Frankie’s Faves series, the mum-of-two shared a selection of holiday-ready looks from River Island. And while each and every ensemble was undeniably stunning, there’s one dress in particular that the former Saturday’s singer said she ‘can’t stop reaching for’.
The 35-year-old praised the brand’s Yellow Ribbed Bodycon Maxi Dress for being a ‘go-to’ for the holiday packing list. Plus it has one feature that elevates the piece to look more expensive than its £35 price tag.

Made from a ribbed fabric, the stretchy dress is one that doesn’t require ironing, making it the perfect pick for your suitcase when the last thing you want to be doing on holiday is steaming your clothes. It’s sleeveless, meaning your armpits will be able to catch a breeze to avoid sweating, with a scoop neckline for a feminine touch and detailed straps that give it a more high-end feel.
Frankie told her followers: “We all have that one dress that’s the go to in the case. The one we wear once and then we just can’t stop reaching for it because it looks and feels good and makes you feel confident. This is the dress. It’s got a good amount of stretch and is form fitting without being tight. The detail on the straps makes it feel a bit more special and you could wear it day to evening.”
The dress comes in a creamy buttermilk-yellow that looks cream in certain lights, making it a cool shade to wear as it won’t absorb heat like darker colours. Figure-hugging without being clingy, it can be worn with sandals and sunnies for the beach, or with heels for dinner on a balmy evening.
Fans have been left swooning over the dress, commenting: “Dreamy!! I need that cream dress and lemon bag!” and “I love your relaxed style Frankie, it’s very ‘me’ and how I’m most comfortable in fashion.”
It’s available in sizes 6-18, as well as black, bronze and red shades if you’d prefer. However, it’s only available in one length, and since Frankie is a petite 5’3”, it may mean it falls to more of a midi length on taller people.
Other options from the high street that have a similar silhouette include this Green Ribbed Racer Midi Dress at New Look, which costs £27.99, while ASOS is offering this ASOS DESIGN knitted tank midaxi dress in lemon at £26. Both of them come in cheaper than the River Island dress, but as Frankie alluded to, the attention to detail does make it look that bit more premium in comparison.
