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 hubby of 12 years got a second wife – he tries to make time for us both but it's hard
The two wives revealed that their personalities often clash THREE'S A CROWD My hubby of 12 years got a second wife – he tries to make time for us both but it's hard Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed what it's like having a husband who also has another wife. 'A WOMAN has revealed what it's like having a husband who also has another wife. Tami Winder met her husband Colton 13 years ago, and the pair have been married for 12 years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Colton is married to both Tami and Sophie Credit: Youtube 2 The pair admitted that plural marriage can be hard Credit: Youtube The couple are both Mormon and revealed that despite the Mormon church outlawing plural marriage, they still have always believed in "plural marriage". They remained a duo for a number of years before meeting Sophie, who became Colton's second wife. Both 'sister wives' have a physical relationship with Colton, but are not intimate with each other. For the first two years of their plural marriage, Sophie and Tami lived separately, so that they could ease into polygamy. When they finally all moved in together, Sophie and Tami realised that they didn't know each other at all, and struggled to adapt to their clashing personalities. This led to a number of misunderstandings, with Colton revealing that he sometimes felt like he was "standing in the middle of a tornado." Cowboy Colton now spends alternate nights with his two wives, which they both agree is one of the "hardest" parts of the marriage. Tami revealed that at times she feels like she is "falling short" as a wife, which is why Colton has a second wife. However, he insisted that his first wife is "perfect" the way she is. Tami said that she often feels jealous in the relationship, especially when Colton goes on a date with Sophie. First Dates hosts its very first throuple in new series However, she added that if she communicates these feelings to Colton and Sophie, they do their best to "alleviate" her issues. Date night happens once a month, with Colton either going on a separate date with each of his wives, or the three of them going out together. Only Tami is Colton's legal wife, as plural marriage is illegal in the state of Utah, where the trio lives. "Sophie is more of a spiritual marriage", Colton explained. What is polyamory? Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties. It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple. According to You Gov, 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship. He added that their way of life is frowned upon and that they live "outside the law." The trio have three children between them, which they all co-parent, and are aiming to continue to grow their family. Tami birthed one of the children, whilst Sophie birthed the other two. Determined to make her brood bigger, Tami is now using IVF, and revealed that she struggles with the fact that Sophie popped out two children in quick succession, whereas she has found it more difficult. "If you're sleeping with the same man, you think it's got to be something to do with you", she said. The trio agree that it can be really hard to live together, but added that it's all worth it because their children make their plural family feel "complete."

Calandagan finally wins his big one as he comes from last to first in the King George at Ascot
LAND GRAB Calandagan finally wins his big one as he comes from last to first in the King George at Ascot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CALANDAGAN has been called lots of names over the last 12 months, not many of them nice. Well, now he'll forever be known as a King George winner after a performance which silenced the doubters in no uncertain terms. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Calandagan (11-10f) won a King George thriller at Ascot Credit: Getty The horse who long seemed destined to go down as one of the game's great bridesmaids had every opportunity to throw in the towel when Kalpana quickened away and push came to shove. He could have folded like a cheap suit when asked to make a lung-busting run after the filly who'd got first run and was getting 3lb, or hoisted the white flag when eye-balling her in the heat of battle. Instead, he dug deeper than the Channel Tunnel to give his burgeoning trainer Francis-Henri Graffard — a coming force on the world stage — his second King George in a row. Magnifique. Not so the Ballydoyle tactics, which even left Graffard and winning jockey Mickael Barzalona scratching their heads. Here they had the 5-2 second favourite in Jan Brueghel, a horse with abundant stamina who outstayed Calandagan at Epsom two months ago and for whom a strong, end-to-end gallop was vital. Everyone expected the 40-1 rag Continuous to set off on his usual pace-making duties to ensure it wasn't a tactical race. Puzzlingly, he was dropped in behind his stablemate and they ended up going a crawl as Jan Brueghel did the donkey work. It made little sense — not that Barzalona was complaining. He was on the horse with the best turn of foot, so he must have been licking his lips. Mind you, Andrew Balding's fine filly Kalpana showed an impressive burst of her own as she kicked for home at the two-furlong pole. Oisin Murphy moved up going strongly as Jan Brueghel struggled to go through the gears as the pace lifted before she suddenly exploded two or three lengths clear. It looked for the best part of a furlong that Calandagan would be unable to reel her in but, as all the top-class ones do, he quickened once, quickened twice and was going away by a length at the line. He was second in the Juddmonte International, Champion Stakes, Sheema Classic and Coronation Cup — but he's the Chantilly shirker no more. Graffard said: 'I never had any doubts about his will to win, when he's been beaten he has had excuses. 'He was really far back at York last year and he quickened really strongly, probably too late. He was beaten by a good horse in Dubai and at Epsom things didn't go to plan. 'I never thought it was because he didn't want to try and his jockeys have never reported that to me either. 'This is the fifth time Mickael has ridden him, he has been getting to know him and knows what to do on him now. There is no doubt anymore about the horse.' In hindsight, maybe Murphy could have held on for a few more seconds on Kalpana before committing her for home. But Balding was chuffed with the run as she continues to build towards her D-Day in the Arc. He said: 'I'm very proud of her, she's run her heart out again and just been beaten by a good horse. We'll work back from the Arc, now.' It looks like the Juddmonte International at York is next on the agenda for Calandagan, where a mouthwatering showdown with Field Of Gold awaits. Tres bien.
