‘So easy to wear' cry shoppers over perfect summer dress in Sainsbury's – it's comfy, looks expensive & doesn't crease
IF you're still looking to top up your summer wardrobe before the sunshine returns, Sainsbury's has got you covered.
The supermarket's in-house fashion label, Tu Clothing, is renowned for its stylish buys at reasonable prices.
And if you like to be comfortable as well as fashionable, you've definitely come to the right place.
Shoppers have insisted the new Sainsbury's midi dress is perfect for all shapes and heights, and "makes them smile".
The "beautiful" Multi Postcard Printed Strappy Midaxi Dress is priced at £22.50 and comes in sizes six to 24.
Describing it online, the Sainsbury's team say: "Designed in a bright postcard print for a distinctive summer look, this sun dress is a chic choice for beach days and sun-soaked getaways.
"Cut to midaxi length, it comes in a loose, flowing silhouette - finished with shoulder straps and a v-neckline."
Unsurprisingly, the colourful frock has racked up a flurry of five-star reviews and is almost completely sold out online.
So if you're looking to get your hands on it, you may need to leg it to your nearest store.
One delighted fashionista gushed: "So easy to wear and looks great with a tan to show off. Doesn't crease either!
"Got lots of great comments in it.. looks more expensive than it actually is."
A second wrote: "Bought for holiday and it really is perfect.
"Size is spot on and I don't need to shorten it as I'm five foot one inch that is usually the case.
"The quality is excellent. So pleased I've bought loads more on line for my holiday. Quick delivery and easy returns. Well done Tu."
A third chimed in: "I fell in love with this dress and it's perfect for my trip to the Caribbean.
"The fit is excellent and flows beautifully, lovely fabric, adjustable straps and pockets! The length is great, usually they are too long, but this falls just right on me at 5ft 1."
"I love the fabric, it's a good length and has pockets. Perfect for summer", cried another shopper.
A fifth revealed: "I popped into Sainsbury's to get my mum's shopping and saw this dress as soon as I walked in.
"I just fell in love with it; the vibrant colours, the style - pockets! - and it just made me smile.
"I wasn't disappointed when I tried it on when I got home. It is easy to wear, comfortable and just the right length. I am so pleased and can't wait to wear it."
Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "Adjustable straps floaty and a linen type feel to the fabric. On trend."
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.

EXCLUSIVE Patsy Palmer party hops from DJ Fat Tony's wedding to the British Soap Awards and reveals what she REALLY thinks of Celebrity Big Brother
It was a busy night for Patsy Palmer on Saturday as she party hopped from DJ Fat Tony's wedding to the 2025 British Soap Awards - where she discussed Big Brother. Attending both events, the actress, 53, turned heads in a cobalt blue trouser suit, which contrasted perfectly with her fiery red locks. Her three-piece was made up of a crop top and flared bottoms, with a matching blazer layered over the top. Speaking to MailOnline on the red carpet at London's Hackney Empire, Patsy revealed what she really thought about her time on Celebrity Big Brother. After the soapstar was evicted she took part in several very awkward interviews and refused to speak during her live exit. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She explained: 'I've not really seen it [Big Brother]. I went from the lock-up [in EastEnders] to the BB house to get back into the real world. 'It was an experience, it was interesting. I'm really glad that I did it. That's all I wanted really. 'It was definitely a very interesting experience. I've not seen anyone since leaving but I'm looking forward to seeing my housemates tonight.' Since being evicted, Patsy has shared several cryptic posts to her social media about 'staying silent' and returned to her home in Malibu. However, touching back down on UK soil this week, she attended both the 2025 British Soap Awards and DJ Fat Tony's wedding. Before the award ceremony, Patsy joined an array of A-list guests as DJ Fat Tony and his partner Stavros Agapiou tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in London. Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, who have been engaged since October 2023, made it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross, before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the reception. An A-list array of guests joined the couple to celebrate on their special day including Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney, TOWIE's Gemma Collins and Davina McCall, with the likes of the Beckhams and Kate Moss also slated to attend. With Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials hosted an eclectic star-studded guestlist and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations. Ahead of the wedding a source told The Sun: 'Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars. 'No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It's going to be incredible to see them lining up together.'

Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours
IF you're jetting off somewhere sunny this year and need a new suitcase, look no further than Tesco The supermarket currently has a dupe of the popular Rimowa brand in stores, and for a bargain price. 2 You've probably seen the Rimowa suitcases rolling alongside your favourite celebs and influencers without even realising. Stars like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have been photographed with the stylish luggage before, but the Rimowa Classic Cabin will set you back a whopping £1,130 - and prices go up if you want a larger case too. Luckily, one savvy shopper spotted the dupe on the shelves of their local Tesco - and you'll save hundreds. Libbie Fitzpatrick took to TikTok to show off the find - and shoppers can even choose from gold or silver. In the viral video she said: "Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!" The suitcases are priced at £65, but Clubcard shoppers can nab the luggage for just £27.50. Holiday goers took to the comment section of the clip to rave about the find, as one wrote: "They've been reduced a while now, over two weeks!" "I got the blue one a few weeks ago, they didn't have gold and silver then. Still prefer the blue. "Suitcases are so expensive these days so these are a good price on the deal," another wrote. But others weren't sure if plastic suitcases would be a good fit for airport chaos. My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets' Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the suitcases were lightweight, "Please tell me it's light weight and won't take off my allowance," one said. And another agreed: "I don't like hard style cases, they weight a bit more so you can't carry as much." If you are on the hunt for a new suitcase that will stand the test of time, Captain Alexander York, who flies A380s for Emirates, shared his go-to bag that has yet to let him down. The 40-year-old has been using the exact same suitcase for over a decade and knows which cases are more likely to end up being duds. He told 9Travel: "I've been using a large hard case Samsonite for over 15 years and it's served me well." Hard-shell luggage is rigid and usually made of plastic or metal, while soft-shell cases are typically made of fabric and are more flexible. While he did not name a specific one, Samsonite said its hard-shell suitcases are typically made from "high-quality materials like polycarbonate or aluminium." Alexander recommended hard cases over soft ones, despite their higher weight, as he believes softer ones are at a greater risk of damage. He said: "I think bags with exposed wheels, or soft pouches are bound to be damaged, so I'd stick with the hard case." Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."

Adored Italian restaurant with 90 branches across the UK closes in town centre after serving customers for over 9 years
A POPULAR Italian restaurant branch is sadly set to close its doors in a north of England town centre. Bella Italia has announced the closure of its Darlington branch at the end of its current lease in early July. 2 It was one of the first restaurants to open in the DL1 complex when it launched in 2016. But it is now set to wrap up operations at the site after nine years of serving happy customer s. No specific reason has been given for the restaurant's sudden closure. However, Bella Italia has confirmed the branch will close its doors in the first week of July. A spokesperson for the chain paid tribute to the "fantastic" branch staff as they announced the closure. They said: 'We can confirm that our restaurant in Darlington will cease trading at the end of our current lease in the first week of July. "We would like to thank our fantastic team at Darlington who have done an amazing job over the years. "We would also like to thank our wonderful Darlington guests; we hope to see them again in one of our other north-east restaurants." It comes as number of big name businesses continue to pull out of the DL1 complex in Darlington's town centre. Tomahawk Steakhouse, Prezzo, Mango Bean are among the others to have left the site. A spokesperson told the Northern Echo in April that it is 'still in the process of reviewing future plans and no final decision has yet been made regarding reopening'. Bella Italia remains one of Britain's most popular Italian restaurant chains, with dozens of venues across the UK and Ireland. Its parent company went into administration in 2020 at the height of the COVID pandemic. The company would be acquired and re-branded later that year.
