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.

My boyfriend makes spicy content with his own brother – people are so judgmental, but he makes loads of cash
Ryan has insisted that the content he makes with his brother isn't 'weird' FAMILY MATTERS My boyfriend makes spicy content with his own brother – people are so judgmental, but he makes loads of cash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that her boyfriend makes explicit content with his own brother. Gigi and Ryan are both adult content creators, and met last year at an awards ceremony. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ryan and Gigi are both adult content creators Credit: Love Don't Judge 2 Ryan makes gay content with his brother Andy Credit: Love Don't Judge Ryan said that he had previously struggled to date girls in the past, as although they were fine with him making adult content, they couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that it was gay content. When the couple met, Gigi already knew that Ryan made content with this brother, and says it doesn't bother her. Ryan's brother Andy first decided to get into adult content 15 years ago, when he was living in a hostel in London, and struggling to make ends meet. He got offered £600 to make a solo video for an adult website, and said it "changed my life." After seeing the success his brother was having with content creation, Ryan asked Andy to help him out and the brothers now make spicy content together three or four times a week. Andy first told Ryan not to join the industry, as he didn't think he would be able to cope with the online trolls, but Ryan was adamant that he was going to do it with or without Andy's help. Ryan assured that although he films content with his brother its not "weird", as if they are filming a group scene, they are at opposite ends, and never touch each other. He added that one of them is usually behind the camera, to avoid physical contact. "I would say it does feel weird watching my brother sleep with other people, but at the end of the day, it's just work", Ryan told Love Don't Judge. However, he admitted that things did get out of hand once during a group scene, when Andy "sprayed his blast out everywhere." Mexico's sexiest fan and weather girl poses in bra and dressing gown as she celebrates four years on OnlyFans Ryan, who is known for dressing up as a builder in explicit videos, said that family were at first judgmental, but now that they've seen how well he's doing, they support his career choice. However, he added that he has lost a lot of friends who have spread vicious rumours about his job. Gigi added that all of her friends know that Ryan makes gay content with his brother, and none have batted an eyelid. "I've never really thought too much about them making content together", she said. What is OnlyFans? OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London. As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators. Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up. Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform. "Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states. For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest. It isn't limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians. "If they were doing it in their spare time I would think it was a bit odd, but they don't". However, the adult content maker did admit that she herself would never make content with her brother. Ryan revealed that he gets a lot of hate comments from people, many of whom criticise him for "pretending" to be gay. However, he thinks it's all worth it, as he makes £15,000 a month.

I make a fortune selling my HAIR to random men online – I took my braids out & one bloke sent me £800 just to sniff them
Lateisha also makes cash from selling old earbuds and foot masks HAIR THIS I make a fortune selling my HAIR to random men online – I took my braids out & one bloke sent me £800 just to sniff them Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that she makes hundreds by selling her braids to random men online. Lateisha Jones, 24, has a very unconventional approach to making cash, and previously revealed that she flogs her used foot masks and earbuds online. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lateisha sells her braids to a random man Credit: TikTok / latieshajbackup 2 The man likes to smell her braids Credit: TikTok / latieshajbackup And now, the entrepreneur has shared one man pays to have a sniff of her hair. Taking to TikTok Lateisha explained that every six to eight weeks, she takes out her braids, and sends them to one specific customer. She said that people always assume that this man must be "old" or "weird. However, she described him as a "regular road man" in his twenties. Explaining what the man wants the braids for, Lateisha revealed: "He smells the braids and does his business." The TikToker revealed that she knows some people are attracted to the smell of unwashed hair, although she added that this is not a scent that pleases herself. "Because my braids are attached to my head, and they are in for so long, they have the unwashed hair smell", she said. Lateisha added that people always ask her whether she is concerned about pieces of her real hair getting mixed in with the braids she sends to the stranger. However, she said that this doesn't bother her as "he's not a serial killer, and he's not going to plant me at a crime scene." In a second video, Lateisha showed herself packing up the hair, and writing a "cute" card to send to the man. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy "Hope they smell as good as they looked on my head", she said, adding a lipstick kiss to the card. Lateisha then showed screenshot of her bank account, revealing that the man had deposited £800 in her account for the braids. The video, posted to her account @latieshajbackup, has likely left many people impressed, as it racked up a whopping 105,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on her unique side hustle. Side hustles in numbers Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income. Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024. Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income. Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one. Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way. One person said: "I've found my dream career!" A second said: "I'm about to start selling my extensions!" A third added: "How do I start this!"
