Matalan in hot water over £20 Jubilee dress a day after ASDA row

High street fashion retailer Matalan has been praised by shoppers for it's 'pretty' £20 Jubilee dress. It comes a day after ASDA found itself in hot water with shoppers over matching Union Jack dresses which have been made for mums and daughters ahead of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.

Matalan's £20 offering has caused a stir with people excited about the upcoming Jubilee. 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 doesn't have Union Jacks all over, but it does have a pattern fit for a garden party. Dare I say a dress full of Union Jacks looks a bit....tacky, and this is far more Bank Holiday party appropriate.
