And it has already racked up five-star reviews from impressed fashion fans.
One gushed: "Really pleased with this dress. So comfortable to wear. Great length and it has pockets."
I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too
A second wrote: "Perfect for summer days and evenings! Great fit, flattering - wish there were more colour ways."
"Really nice material not seen through on the skirt part and fits well true to size", chimed in a third.
A fourth said: "I bought this a couple of weeks ago and my daughter liked it so much I bought her one too!
"The poplin striped skirt has handy pockets , which is always a bonus!! I love the design as you can hide your legs and enhance your figure because of the elasticated waist .
"Can be worn with flats, trainers or a heel. I love the modern design!! It was a real bargain and very happy with the quality."
A fifth added: "Bought this a couple of weeks ago and have worn on holiday. Very comfortable, flattering and can be a casual outfit or dressed up a little. The pockets are a great addition too."
Meanwhile, a sixth cried: "Stop! My bank can't take anymore and the lady behind the argos counter knows me by name with all my click and collects."
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.

Hottest home trends for 2025 Renovations expert Andy Simms, from COLOUR DRENCHING Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won't escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms. STATEMENT WALLPAPER Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme. BROKEN LIVING PLAN Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn't quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. 'Broken plan' is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass. Another commented: 'The essential oil of this is UNREAL by the way if anyone has an oil diffuser." "It's a really lovely option - I have the room spray," penned a third.
