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.

Britain's Got Talent bombshell as popular judge QUITS panel – and huge star in talks to replace them revealed
BRUNO Tonioli has quit Britain's Got Talent after just two series on the judging panel. The Sun understands that singer and boxer KSI is in talks to be his permanent replacement. 2 2 Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno, 69, joined the line-up in 2023 after David Walliams stepped down. BGT boss Simon Cowell, 65, desperately tried to persuade Bruno to stay but, due to scheduling clashes with his Dancing With The Stars work in the US, the pair could not make it work. A source said: 'Bruno has officially quit Britain's Got Talent and they are hoping that KSI will replace him. 'He absolutely loved being on the panel with Simon, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden but Bruno just can't juggle his schedule with filming. 'There is no bad blood and Bruno is leaving with a smile on his face. 'KSI, who was a replacement for Bruno on shows he missed last year, is in talks about coming on board full time.' The Sun revealed earlier this month that Bruno was on the cusp of stepping down because his schedule meant he could not film auditions in Blackpool and Birmingham this autumn. KSI, 32, was a huge hit with viewers when he stepped in for Bruno during last year's Blackpool auditions and made a guest appearance during the live semi-finals. Bruno Tonioli set to QUIT Britain's Got Talent judging gig as two favourites to replace him revealed The Sun exclusively revealed last month that there was a shake-up in the filming for the next series, which would split the auditions between Blackpool and Birmingham. The live semi-finals, which account for the second half of the newly-lengthened series, will still be filmed in London. Speaking about the acts who appeared on this year's final in May, which was won by magician Harry Moulding, Bruno said: 'The standard was incredible. 'I feel like I'm not even judging, I'm commenting from my heart. 'I know how hard it is to perform in front of an audience.' The next series of BGT is scheduled to air on ITV next April.

BBC under fire for making six-part podcast series about notorious crime queen 'Big Mags' Haney
The BBC has been criticised after it emerged it is to air a six-part podcast on notorious drug dealer 'Big Mags' Haney. The convicted dealer ran a brutal heroin empire for years while posing as a community hero. Haney, who died in 2013, aged 70, first came to the media's attention when she led a campaign to remove a paedophile from the notorious Raploch estate in Stirling. But she was eventually jailed for her role in a £250,000-a-year drugs operation from her home on the estate. And now the BBC has been criticised after announcing a six-part podcast charting the rise and fall of the crime queen. In The Ballad of Big Mags, journalist Myles Bonnar will explore the life of the clan figurehead, who even appeared on daytime TV show Kilroy to discuss keeping children safe. Mr Bonnar said: 'Mags Haney's rise to prominence and her dramatic fall after revelations of her criminal activities, was a story which played out in the media over years. 'The series not only examines her contradictory life but also wider issues of mob justice, community dynamics, poverty, and the creation of the so-called media personality. 'Many people only partially know the story of this controversial figure and this series will give a full account of how she rose to fame and became a source of fascination to the media and public before her criminal life was exposed.' But Murdo Fraser, Scottish Conservative shadow business, economy, tourism and culture secretary, said: 'Eyebrows will be raised at the BBC's decision to give airtime to a woman who used her celebrity status to cover up a major heroin operation. 'Many taxpayers will question why their license fee is going towards platforming this controversial figure, particularly at a time when BBC budgets are squeezed.' Haney first grabbed the headlines as a self-styled anti-paedophile campaigner while running the heroin empire in the 1990s. She claimed she 'just wanted to help folk' in the community, she was eventually exposed as the leader of a notorious crime clan dubbed the 'family from hell'. Behind her matriarch public image, the grandmother used her own children and grandchildren to sell around £24,000-worth of heroin from her council flat each month. She was jailed for 12 years in 2003 after being convicted of running a large-scale heroin dealing operation in Stirling. Annemarie Ward, CEO of drugs charity FAVOR UK, added: 'The media's fixation with gangland nostalgia might make for gripping listening, but it rarely tells the truth about the lives destroyed by this kind of chaos. 'Recovery communities across Scotland are still cleaning up the devastation. We don't need another folk anti-hero: we need truth, justice, and a bit of respect for the people trying to build a different future.' A spokesperson for BBC Scotland said: 'The podcast series takes a detailed look at a story which was in the public spotlight for a significant period and was covered by many media outlets, including newspapers. 'Contributors include journalists, police, and members of the community, who give new insights into how Mags Haney positioned herself as a protector of the Raploch estate while concealing her criminal activities. 'The series is also about wider issues such as mob justice, community dynamics, poverty, and how the media operated in that era.' The six part series will be available on BBC Sounds from Friday 8 August.
