The best summer dresses at Big W Australia are ALL under $35 – and they look just like pricey designer options

Big W has quietly launched its collection of summer dresses — and fans are excited to see tons of designer dupes for $35 or less.

The budget retailer has taken all seasonal trends into account with its summer dress collection featuring flowing linen numbers, mid-length denim pieces and bodycon pieces.

The 1964 Denim Company Women’s Paneled Dress – Bondi Blue Wash

The first ‘must-have’ item is a stylish, mid-length denim dress that looks like it came straight from the 1960s or 1990s.

The light blue dress, which costs just $35, features a button-up front, a belted waistband and two pockets. It also has a collar and slightly longer cut ‘short sleeves’.

The paneled design makes it an ultra-flattering design that’s as perfect for warm-weather outings when you want to look your best as it is for a day of relaxing at home.

The dress is available in size six to size 14 in the ‘Bondi blue wash’ finish.

It’s similar to the mid-range purchases that dominated the fashion world earlier this year, but is $90-$100 cheaper.

‘Bought this dress today and very happy with it. Also an excellent price for a denim dress,” one customer raved and left five stars for the purchase.

‘Great denim dress. I love the pockets, the belt and the panels. Great purchase,” said another.

&me women’s linen blend dress with buttons and belt

Big W’s &me range is full of expensive dupes this season and this $35 linen dress is one of the most impressive.

The classic dress is another mid-length option, perfect for warm summer days.

It is made of a linen blend, has a waistband and a button closure at the front.

The collared neckline adds the allure of sophistication and the mid-length sleeves make it look clean and presentable.

The design looks ‘straight from Europe’ with its effortlessly chic lines.

And it looks very similar to the linen dress Marja from the Norwegian brand Ella&il. But their dress costs AUD$480.

The Big W buy is available from size six to size 18.

&me women’s dress with floral print and bow on the front

This navy blue number is the perfect way to add a flowy floral number to your wardrobe this summer.

The dress has a lovely bow at the bust, a slit in the hem and a V-neck.

It is made of viscose, which makes it flow effortlessly in the summer breeze.

The style has been popular for the past three years and continues to show strength as summer collections are rolled out across the country.

The $30 purchase is similar to an AUD$200 design that was popular across Europe during the Northern Hemisphere summer.

‘I love that they made this style in navy blue, and not dark red or mustard. It’s all I could find last year,” one woman said alongside an Instagram post showing the dress.

&me Striped shirt dress for women

The $30 striped shirt dress is another classic linen number that looks much more expensive than it is.

The stylish dress has long sleeves, a tie belt at the waist and a button closure at the front.

It is made from a cotton-viscose blend and, unlike its expensive look-a-likes, it can be washed in the washing machine.

Dresses that were nearly identical to last season’s bargain buy quickly sold out after being dropped by an online retailer with a $189 price tag.

&me sleeveless ribbed dress for women

Available in black, blue and green, this dress is the cheapest must-have on the racks at Big W this year – with a small price tag of $15.

Described as the “ultimate staple,” the black dress is nearly identical to the $300 Nura Sleeveless Midi Dress.

The sleek silhouette of the midi bodycon dress ensures that it will remain a wardrobe staple for years to come, as they rarely go out of style.

The dress has some rib details and is made from a cotton and elastane blend for comfort and style.

One customer raved about the ‘great value’ of the purchase.

‘So comfortable and very forgiving. Perfect length to wear it both dressy and casual,” she wrote.
