Shoppers rush to snap up a $40 dress from Best and Less that they say looks three times the price

Shoppers and fashion lovers are going wild for a $40 floral dress from Best&Less that they say looks as though it should cost $100 or more.

The Strappy Ring Detail Maxi Dress, $40, features a pretty floral print, adjustable straps, ring detailing and a subtle cut-out at the chest – and those who have got it are describing it as the ‘dress everyone’s talking about’.

‘I’m going to share a little secret with you. I found a dress and it’s $40 but it looks like a $100 option,’ TikTok user Cat Sanz posted on TikTok. ‘Let’s try it on.’

Once she had the dress on, Cat was quick to share her surprise.

‘Look at this. It’s got this tiny cutout. I like small cutouts. It also has a sweetheart bustline, spaghetti straps which are adjustable, ruching at the back and pleating at the front,’ she said.

‘It also has tiered levels and pockets. It’s such a cute summer dress and it only costs $40.’

While plus-size fashion lover Gabrielle Sawyer also said it’s a ‘chef’s kiss’ moment.

‘Stunning and it’s got pockets,’ she said.

‘Go and buy this dress because you won’t regret it. It’s beautiful.’

This isn’t the first fashion hit from the budget store, with the most recent hit being a $22 sleeveless tank midi dress that many wanted in all three colourways (pictured)

The dress is currently only available in sizes 14-26, but it is expected that the smaller sizes will be re-stocked soon.
