So if you want to look chic on a budget as well as feeling comfortable in the warmer weather, this bargain frock is the buy for you.
Shoppers have insisted the blue and white daisy-print Sainsbury's dress is "so comfortable to wear in the heat" thanks to its lightweight material and flowy design.
And the timing couldn't be better to snap it up, with temperatures set to hit highs of 33C across the UK, and 27C in Scotland.
The Gingham Daisy Midaxi Tea Dress comes in sizes six to 24.
Describing it on the website, the Tu Clothing team say: "Introduce beautiful florals to your wardrobe with our blue gingham tea dress.
"Cut to a flattering midi length, this dress has been designed with a pretty daisy pattern throughout.
"It's finished with short elasticated sleeves, button fastening and a thin waist belt."
The £26 frock is currently on sale for just £18.20, so it's the perfect time to pick it up for your summer wardrobe.
But it's completely sold out online, so you'll need to be quick to nab it in your nearest store.
And it has already racked up five-star reviews from delighted fashion fans.
Tesco fans are set to love the latest items in stores for 25 per cent off when you use clubcard
One said: "Really pretty, lovely fit, size 14, calf length, I'm 5'8, so will be longer if you're shorter, it's polyester but feels more like viscose/cotton, so comfortable to wear in heat."
"Lovely dress true to size. Fabric is very easy to wash and only needs quick iron", chimed in a second.
A third gushed: "This is my new season summer dress. As soon as I saw this I wanted to try it on. I had to travel to another store to find my size.
"I would say it comes up a little big, but as it's for summer I did not want a tight fit.
"It hangs well and the split at the front is flattering and not too high. I wore it the next day and got lots of compliments."
"Looking forward to summer to wear the dress", revealed a fourth.
A fifth added: "I bought this dress ready for spring and summer. It's so fresh looking and summery and it just fits so well."
Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "This dress is gorgeous and very flattering, I bought it as i had a similar one many many years ago and I literally wore it out.
"Seeing this today I grabbed it and the same dress in the green which is also gorgeous. Buttons are fidly but once it's on, done and you only need to use the first 4 buttons really at the top.
"I'm going to keep my eyes open for more colours it's that amazing."
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.

I'm Muhammad Ali's grandson but kept it a secret when I walked into the gym… I took beatings like everyone else
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BIAGGIO ALI WALSH is related to the most famous fighter of all time but he hid it - because he wanted to take beatings just like everyone else. The 26-year-old is the grandson to boxing icon Muhammad Ali and now finds himself making his own way in MMA.

The lightweight trains at Extreme Couture - the Las Vegas gym headed up by Eric Nicksick - trainer to Francis Ngannou. When Biaggio first walked into the gym he kept his identity a secret - and it took ex-UFC champion Sean Strickland FOUR YEARS to catch on. Biaggio told SunSport: "I never walked into Extreme Couture and I would tell people, 'Oh, I'm Muhammad Ali's grandson.' READ MORE IN boxing RUMBLING ON Ali still teased Foreman about Rumble in the Jungle 40yrs on despite being pals "That's actually the last thing I want is for people to know as soon as they get to a gym. "So yeah, I think just word of mouth, people started to find out who I was. Apparently Sean Strickland didn't know till like a couple of weeks ago. "He came up to me and he's like, 'Bro, you're Muhammad Ali's grandson?' I was like, 'Yes Sean, you didn't know this? I thought like Eric or someone would have told you or something. "He's like, 'No. I didn't know, that's so cool. Like, how was he? Was he cool?' I was like, 'Yeah, he was cool, he was funny. Does the boxing make sense now?'" CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Biaggio - who shares his Islamic faith with his grandad - had seven amateur fights - winning six - before turning professional in 2024. But that came after years of learning the ropes in the gym and taking his licks in the gym - just like everyone else. EXCL Muhammad Ali would still tease George Foreman about Rumble in Jungle win 40 years on as legends became best friends Biaggio said: "In a combat sport, who you're related to means nothing, Where you come from means nothing. "You could come from a silver spoon in your mouth, your dad could be a billionaire, but when you get in that cage and it's locked, even for sparring, that's not gonna help you. "It's you that's gonna be fighting for you. When I first got to Extreme, you know, a lot of ass whoopings, a lot of ass whoopings. You pay your dues, dude. That's how it is in the sport." Biaggio - signed to the Professional Fighters League - returns to the cage on June 27 in Chicago against 2-0 Ronnie Gibbs after nearly one year out. And he said: "I think in this sport, a break like that is good because you can sharpen so many tools and get your mind right and it gives you plenty of time to just get better in everything, physically and mentally. "And that's where I feel like I am. I feel like I've gotten so much better as a fighter and I've gotten so much better in my mental too, so super excited for this fight. I'd like to get a couple more fights at the end of this year." 4 Bob Walsh, with sons Nico and Biaggio and wife Rasheda, Muhammad Ali's daughter Credit: rashedaali1/instagram

Meghan's kids will be SO annoyed when they grow up & realise how they were used by her on Instagram, experts say
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MEGHAN Markle's children will be so annoyed when they grow up and realise how they were used by her on Instagram, experts have said. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, will suffer a 'terrible revenge,' according to royal watchers who appeared on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Archie and Lilibet featured in a social media post during a family day out to Disneyland Credit: Instagram 6 The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson, right, talking to Hugo Vickers and Samara Gill on our royal exclusive show Credit: The Sun 6 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also posted images on social media of the couple attending a Beyonce concert Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Discussing how Prince Harry and Meghan's children Lilibet and Archie had been featured in social media posts, with their faces obscured were author Hugo Vickers and Samara Gill, a presenter and journalist. Mr Vickers told the paper's royal editor Matt Wilkinson: 'I just think there's gonna be a terrible revenge when those children grow up. 'I mean, I don't know about you but I would be very annoyed if I found that I'd been used in all these posts in a strange way by my parents.' The prince and princess were recently featured in a social media post during a trip to Disneyland. Mr Vickers added: 'Equally they're also going to grow up at one point and discover that they never knew their grandparents, their grandfathers. 'I mean Mr Markle, of course he's a broken man, but he's a rather sweet man actually and he did a lot for that girl when she was growing up don't you think?' Ms Gill said: 'I spoke to him a couple days ago actually and he's just absolutely still distraught about the fact that he still doesn't have contact with Meghan.' Mr Vickers said: 'And then of course they will also wake up to realise that they could have been the cousin to Prince George, a future king and they could have been over here having a nice time and with the other children their cousins they aren't gonna know them.' Talking about the apparent change in social media strategy from the Sussexes, Ms Gill said: 'I mean it's pretty interesting this new Instagram PR strategy though I must say. 'I know we talk about the backs of the children's heads. How dare Meghan lecture the royal on 'truth'? Her whole brand is built on LIES 'The children's faces were front and centre of those videos, so it seems like this new PR team has just chucked everything that she previously had out the door and said no we want you twerking we want the kids faces and we want everything out there and we want the public to be able to dissect it. 'So that's a very interesting sort of shift for that brand Meghan and Harry and I really think that it's tragic that the King and Thomas Markle senior were not included at all and not in the children's lives. 'It's really a tragedy.' Elsewhere in our exclusive chat, Matt noted how he was stunned at Meghan's latest podcast interview where she asked people to "tell the truth about her". Samara added that perhaps the "revolving door of staff" the Sussexes have employed may shed more light on "truth". Countless staff members have joined a long list of people who over the years no longer wish to associate with the mum-of-two. Samara also referenced bullying allegations levelled at her from staff during her time at Kensington Palace. The royal expert added: "I don't want to listen to this woman about truth. "The fact of the matter is that she is a constant liar." The Duchess of Sussex recently appeared on her podcast alongside friend Emma Grede, CEO of Good American, where she seemed to take several digs at the Royal Family. On the podcast, Meghan revealed that she wanted people to "tell the truth" about her, when asked "if you you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?" The Duchess went on to share advice that she had received from Serena Williams regarding how she was viewed in the public after falling love with Prince Harry. "My dear friend Serena, she told me years ago: 'A lie can't live forever,'" said Meghan. But Hugo, agreed with Samara on the issue and questioned how accurate Meghan's accusatory comments actually were. He said: "I think Samara and I, as well as others, do tell the truth about her and I don't think she likes it very much." The royal expert added: "No one would actually listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't for the fact she married Prince Harry. "It's because she's married to Harry it gives the soap opera quality that seems to appeal to everyone. "Otherwise would not really care about her, a lot of other people are doing stuff similar to her on social media anyway." It comes after the Duchess broke her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. 6 Harry and Meghan's children featured in a number of photos posted to social media Credit: Instagram 6 Meghan has been pushing her podcast Credit: YouTube
