The hunt for the perfect summer frock can feel constantly elusive.
Where to find a cute dress that’s pretty, keeps you cool in the heat and is also affordable?
Well, we’ve found you an answer – several, actually – and they all cost $25 or less, from Kmart.
We’ll start off with our favourite piece first. Introducing the Sleeveless Midi Dress, which costs just $25.
The spaghetti-strap, mid-length dress nips in at the waist, but isn’t super tight-fitting, so you still have room to tuck into the grazing table at barbecues on long summer afternoons and sip as much rosé as you like.

The button-down style is also very on-trend at the moment. And the best part? It has pockets!

At the start of the tour, the Duchess of Sussex announced she was pregnant with the couple’s first child and the expectant mother held her little baby bump protectively throughout the visit down under.
Meghan showed off her gorgeous bump in a blue and white striped dress from Reformation, which featured a cute slit up the side.
And we’ve found an affordable copycat version of HRH’s dress!

The tiers give the dress a relaxed, drapey feel, perfect for baby bumps, or even just a summer food baby.
Can you believe this dress is only $25?!

Some of the other cute outfits for sale include the $20 Sleeveless Midi Shirt Dress and the $25 Sleeveless Textured Jumpsuit.
The new campaign images also feature a range of models who don’t fit into your typical size-8-and-blonde stereotype, which is awesome to see in mainstream Australian fashion advertising.
Love the body diversity in this campaign!
