Sainsbury's 'gorgeous' £28 dress 'looks like it costs twice as much'
Sainsbury's shoppers are loving a "beautiful" new dress that's caught their eye online. The retailer's Tu clothing is well known for its on-trend designs - and there may be a new fan favourite in stock.
Shoppers are keen to get their hands on the Neutral Crochet Overlay Midaxi Dress, which is priced at £28 and is available in sizes six to 24. The sought-after dress boasts crochet detailing and midaxi length in a linen material.
The full Sainsbury's description reads: "Achieve sophisticated style this summer with our neutral beige midaxi dress. Designed with a flowing hem for an elegant silhouette, it has been made from a lightweight viscose blend - perfect for warmer weather. Finished with a crochet overlay on the upper."
The Sainsbury's dress racked up a 4.7 star rating online, having gained a range of rave reviews. Among them, one person said: "Looks expensive. The crochet overlay certainly makes this dress. The material is better than I thought."
A second wrote: "Got this dress after seeing it online last week. Did not expect too much as it was not expensive. However the quality is great and it will hang nicely as there is a bit of weight in it. Crochet top is detachable so I could put other tops I have on top of the dress."
A third shopper added: "Lovely fit. Looked amazing and everyone commented on it." Another wrote: "Gorgeous. Love this dress fits perfectly amazing quality such a good price."
However, some shoppers did find issues with the product. One person said: "Thought the dress was very nice the only problem it was difficult to take it on & off no zip just a button at the top."
Despite this, others praised the dress with one saying: "Beautiful dress. Fantastic quality as always perfect sizing looks like it cost twice as much." A second wrote: "Great material, soft, comfortable and looks really nice on."
A third added: "Generous fit. I brought this a week ago it can be dressed up or down I wore it to a summer wedding but could where it casually too."
The Neutral Crochet Overlay Midaxi Dress is priced at £28 and is available in stores and online now.

Bride sparks debate after revealing she's considering UNINVITING guests from wedding over reaction to her dress
A bride-to-be has sparked a debate online after revealing she's considering cutting guests from her wedding over their reaction to her dress. She opened up about it on Reddit under a subreddit called Bridezillas, explaining that she and her fiancé are planning a small, courthouse wedding followed by a dinner at a nearby restaurant to celebrate, with around 50 guests planning to come. Her choice of gown, the Reformation Vina dress in white, was meant to reflect the low-key, non-traditional vibe of the day. The simple mini dress is designed to 'to have a relaxed fit throughout,' per its website, and according to the bride, it looked perfect on her small frame. 'I'm short, and long/voluminous dresses tend to overwhelm me,' she wrote. 'Plus, I feel like, since it's my wedding, I get to decide what I'm wearing.' But when she excitedly shared dress choice with her find with family and friends, the mood soured. Her mother repeatedly urged her to find 'something else to wear,' her best friend questioned whether it was 'just' her courthouse dress, and others suggested she should pick another option entirely. 'I'm so tired of the criticism that I, someone who loves fashion and clothing, stopped sharing the rest of the outfit details with everyone,' the bride vented. 'Also, I think it's worth noting that I wasn't asking for feedback. I was sharing because I was excited. Now I'm just irritated.' She added: 'This is one of the first things I found besides the venue and décor that is wedding-related, so it's really taken the fun out of anything wedding planning-related.' The bride said she was disappointed by everyone's reactions, especially since in the past when her other family members or friends shared their own wedding dresses, she always 'matched their excitement and [was] supportive because they [were] happy.' She said that aside from her fiancé and her father, no one in her inner circle has supportive of her wedding dress choice, prompting her to regret showing the dress to her loved ones in the first place. And she's now even even reconsidering her guest list and might uninvite some people. 'I regret showing my dress to everyone else, and I will not be defending my choices to them. I'll probably just not share anything else moving forward,' she admitted. 'It's making me seriously reconsider the guest list as well. Am I overreacting?' After the bride shared her story online, strangers rallied by her side in the comment section, and many even gushed over the dress. 'Next time someone makes a comment, remind them they're not wearing the dress or getting married in it. And if it's so bad, they can't be nice and tell you you're beautiful, they can stay home,' one person wrote. Another was more blunt, telling her: 'Your family and friends sound like a**holes.' A third chimed in: 'These people are all being rude as f**k.' One user even posted a screenshot of the Reformation Vina dress she had described - a short, white mini that falls mid-thigh with spaghetti straps, a sheer mesh overlay, and a keyhole back with a delicate white button. The reveal sent commenters into overdrive. 'It's not ugly. I like it. It's simple and the focus will be on your love and not a $10,000 dress,' one fan said. 'Perfect for a courthouse wedding. Super cute,' agreed another. 'It's a really pretty dress. Perfect, and [the] best part: two important people in your life love it! Don't let the naysayers burst your bubbles,' someone else added. And one commenter offered a piece of advice for future brides-to-be, writing: 'Never show people your wedding dress before your wedding day, never tell anyone your baby names until the baby is here and named, never show anyone a house or a car you are buying until the deal is done. People are unhelpful and mean.'
