Matalan shoppers frustrated by £20 Jubilee dress just a day after Asda row

Shoppers have praised high street brand Matalan for its "pretty" £20 dress as the perfect outfit for Jubilee weekend.

It comes a day after Asda found itself in hot water with shoppers over matching Union Jack dresses which have been specially designed ahead of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.

Matalan's offering for the upcoming Jubilee has caused a stir with people excited about the long weekend, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Sharing a picture of the dress, Matalan wrote: "Jubilee weekend is around the corner and this [is] the perfect garden party dress. Shop the £20 dress."

The Papaya Blue 70s Floral Shirred Midi Dress is a floral number and is ideal for the summer celebrations whether you're attending a barbeque, garden party or street party over the weekend.

Many people said they couldn't wait to get their hands on the summery addition to their wardrobe, but there was one problem - the dress was sold out apart from in size 10, leaving many shoppers frustrated.

Suzanne Oliver wrote: "You keep putting lovely dresses on here, then when you look on the website they are never in stock, some never come back in stock, what is the point?!"

Manders JG responded: "Agree 100%! Happens all the time and is annoying!!!"

Sarah Kate O'Connor said: "I hope it comes back in to stock." But for the most part, people were blown away by how 'pretty' the dress is.

Natasha Staddon commented: "Love that one." Annmarie Welch said: "This one's so pretty." Manchester Evening News approached Matalan for comment about the complaints.

Supermarket giant ASDA issued an apology earlier this week after it launched a range of matching £8 Jubilee dresses for mums and daughters. The supermarket says the dresses have been so popular, they sold out in 'record time', also leaving fans disappointed.
