From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception.
One dress in particular that has caught the attention of fashion fans thanks to its discounted price is the White Structured Midaxi Summer Dress.
Usually priced at £30, it has been slashed to just £15 in the 50 per cent off flash sale.
The elegant white frock is perfect for dressing up for girly brunches or city sight-seeing on holiday.
The structured bodice and flared hem give the dress a flattering shape and cinches you in.
And the dress is made of lightweight cotton, perfect for keeping cool in the heat.
In their online description, the Sainsbury's team said: "This white dress is an elegant choice for summer outings. Designed with a structured bodice and a flared hem for a flattering shape.
"Cut to a midaxi length, it has been made from a lightweight, cotton-rich fabric, perfect for warmer days."
The gorgeous frock is available in a wide range of sizes, from size 6 to size 24.
But it is almost completely sold out online already, so you'll have to leg it to your nearest store to pick it up.

And it has already racked up a flurry of five-star reviews from delighted fashionistas who have hailed it as perfect for pear shapes and curvy figures.
One gushed: "Real winner. I love this dress. It fits perfectly and I adore the unusual detail to it.
"A very pleasant surprise - well done Sainsbury's! Great value for money. I can't wait to wear it."
A second wrote: "I bought this dress as a curvy size 20 and told myself that it would not fit …..but it was stunning!
"I felt special in it and confident. The material is lovely and the fit was perfect. A must-have for your summer wardrobe."
"So pleased with this dress, it's perfect fit and looks stunning", chimed in a third.
A fourth echoed: "Such a lovely dress. Looks great on. Very well made. No one will ever think it came from Tu."
Meanwhile, a fifth cried: "This dress is beautiful. Cut and style is akin to a premium brand. It's stunning!
"I was anticipating the dress wouldn't be completely opaque at the price but it is well lined, an unexpected bonus. The fit is perfect and flattering on a size 18 pear shape with a slight flare to the skirt.
"The pleats sit beautifully. Looking forward to wearing in Ibiza this summer!"
And a sixth said: "Bought this dress was so pleased with it material is beautiful and it fits perfectly."
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.
Designer Dupe
As well as being purse-friendly, the Sainbury's dress looks strikingly similar to the Everett Linen Dress, which is priced at £298.
This makes the Tu dress a whopping £283 cheaper.
Both dresses have a similar structured bodice and flared hem, but the premium buy comes in a wider range of colours, including pink and blue.

The Osbournes who were snubbed from the family tribute: Ozzy's little-known son who was included in touching statement breaks his silence alongside sister who was left out - as mystery adopted child stays quiet
Ozzy Osbourne is survived by his six children following his death aged 76 on Tuesday - despite only four being mentioned in the family statement. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away 'surrounded by love', with children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis, along with wife Sharon named in the statement. But it remains a mystery why his two other children, Jessica and Elliot, were snubbed from the family tribute. Hours after it was published to social media, Jessica reshared Mario Lopez's tribute to her own Instagram and penned, 'RIP Ozzy.' It is unclear if she will release her own public statement, along with Elliot. Jessica was the one who made Ozzy a grandparent for the first time, and despite never appearing in The Osbournes' TV show, she was mentioned in the episode 'Smells Like Teen Spirits,' when Ozzy learned that she had welcomed a daughter. Jessica, who is now a Broadway actress, has two daughters, Isabelle and Kitty, and one son called Harry. Meanwhile, not much is known about Elliot Kingsley as he tends to keep out of the spotlight with no public social media accounts. Louis was clearly devastated by his father's passing, as he changed his Facebook profile picture to an all-black screen. Ozzy had three children from his first marriage, and three from his marriage to Sharon, whom he remained married to until his death. Before tying the knot to Sharon, he married his first wife Thelma Riley in 1971 after meeting her in a Birmingham nightclub. Together, they welcomed children Jessica and Louis, although details surrounding their birthdays are unclear. Ozzy also adopted Thelma's five-year-old son Elliot from a previous relationship. Louis now works as a DJ and married actress Louise Lennon in 2004. The pair tied the knot in 2004, with Ozzy unable to attend after suffering major injuries after being injured in a quad bike accident. In the 2011 documentary film God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, produced by his son Jack, he revealed that he could not even remember when Louis and Jessica were born. Ozzy and Thelma Riley's son Louis, who was mentioned in the statement despite his siblings being left off, changed his Facebook profile picture to black following the news Louis also opened up about growing up with a drunk father. 'When he was around and he wasn't [drunk], he was a great father,' he said in the documentary. 'But that was kind of seldom, really. I just have a lot of memories of him being drunk, random s**t like driving cars across fields and crashing them in the middle of the night and stuff like that. 'It's not good for family life, really.' His older sister, Jessica added: 'I don't remember being put to bed or having a bath by dad or anything like that. 'I wouldn't say he was there for us, no, never on sports day, school trip, parents' evening. He wasn't like that, no.' After divorcing Thelma, Osbourne went on to marry Sharon in 1982. Their first child, daughter Aimee was born September 2, 1983. One year later, they welcomed daughter Kelly (born October 27, 1984), and on November 8, 1985, their son, Jack was born. Aimee - who is also a singer and performs under her initials ARO - was born in London and raised in California until the age of 16 but moved out of the family home as filming for The Osbournes began in the early 2000s. Reflecting on her decision to not appear on the show she said: 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television? 'I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable.' She later defended her decision in 2008 and told The Independent: 'I'm not some weirdo depressed daughter that's afraid of the world and locks herself in her room all day. 'I just didn't choose to do the show. I want to be a singer, and I felt if I'd stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away. '[Sharon] was hurt, and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important.' Aimee also has a strained relationship with younger sister Kelly, who confirmed in an interview four years ago that they are estranged. Appearing on the Dax Shepard podcast - Armchair Expert in 2021, Kelly revealed: 'We don't talk. We're just really different. 'She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.' Back in 2015 Aimee admitted to The Independent that she and Kelly were not on close terms and said: 'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance. Do we socialize? No.' However, Aimee and brother Jack's bond is much better, with the pair both running production company Osbourne Media together. The Osbourne family said in a statement on Tuesday: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Ozzy revealed earlier this year that he could no longer walk amid his years-long battle with Parkinson's disease. However, he still managed to reunite with his bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward for their final gig earlier this month. Amid his ailing health, Ozzy admitted he was unsure whether to perform standing up or sitting down following a series of spinal operations. The singer was in strict training, which even sees his blood pressure being taken 15 times a day. He explained: 'I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. I'm giving it everything I've got. 'It's endurance. The first thing that goes when you're laid up is your stamina. 'I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day.. I've got this f***ing device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is.' Ozzy vowed to do the 'best he can' during his final show after his string of health concerns in recent years. The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs. The death of the man who invented headbanging ends the final chapter of a life that was marked by both dizzying success and fame but also scandal, abuse and even prison time. The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his 'subliminal satanic influence'. Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, and dropped out of school at the age of 15. After serving two months in prison for burglary, he decided to pursue his love of music and by 1970 Black Sabbath had gained a huge following in the US and UK with the release of their first album. Ozzy quit the band in 1978 and divorced his first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with, four years later, amid his ongoing substance abuse problems. He went on to marry second wife Sharon Osbourne, who helped him transform into a successful solo artist and the couple had three children together. Ozzy gained a whole new audience of fans with the family's reality TV show The Osbournes in 2001. He is survived by his wife Sharon and his five children, Jessica, Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack.

Windsor raises money for statue of 'beloved cat' Dexter
Thousands of pounds have been raised to fund a statue of Windsor's "beloved" the cat roamed around the Berkshire town for years, with his adventures documented on social feline favourite recently died when he was hit by a car, and since then there has been an outpouring of support online with more than £15,000 raised to help the town remember owner Kirsty Jarvis said he was a "special part of the community". Ms Jarvis said Dexter loved "snuggling up on a chair, jumping on people's laps and was happy to be stroked by anyone". "In the middle of quite a busy town centre, it is quite unusual to see a cat so at home with the public," she continued. Initially, Ms Jarvis wanted to keep Dexter as a house cat but she said "he had a calling to be part of the town". "I'd rather he had the 13 amazing years that he had, being free to wander and to have the impact he has had on so many people versus 20 years as a house cat," she said."He started to go to the local pub, then he ventured in, day by day, a little bit further, so I had the bright idea that I'd put him on Twitter. "So, that when people saw him and found him, they could upload photos and use his hashtag which was DextSpot for spotting Dexter."I didn't intentionally make him a celebrity, the reason I put him on social media was to try and keep him as safe as possible."Dexter made friends absolutely everywhere he went. He wasn't just my cat - somehow he became everyone's."A spokesperson for Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council said: "Dexter was a beloved and integral part of the Windsor community and we are saddened to hear of his passing. "We know so many residents and visitors enjoyed seeing him strolling through the streets or curled up in a shop window, and we will miss his presence in the town. "The council would be happy to support the possibility of a lasting reminder of Dexter and his legacy." You can follow BBC Berkshire on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
