Asda knocks 30% off ‘very flattering' boho summer dress that was already an ‘absolute bargain'
SHOPPERS are in love with an an on-trend mini dress in Asda - and it's only £15. George is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and regularly delights fashion fans with its stylish buys at bargain prices. Recently, it's a sweet white broderie dress that is grabbing the attention of savvy shoppers. Its scalloped edges and embroidered design make this bargain dress look way more expensive than its original £22 pricetag - never mind its now £15 cost. It can be paired with flats or chunky sandals for a daytime look or dressed up with wedges and jewellery for the perfect holiday evening wear. So if you're in need of a versatile piece, then this is the one for you. The white, short-sleeved mini dress is available in store and online, and comes in sizes 8 to 24. It's flattering style is made from 'lovely material' and is a 'great fit', according to buyers. And delighted shoppers have already been gushing about the pretty summer frock which they have hailed a star purchase. One said: "This dress is gorgeous. I can't wait to wear it for a night out on my jollies. "It's lovely cotton material and looks very classy on. Dress up with low heeled sandal or down with pumps. Added bonus I had it at sale price." Another five star review read: "Bought for holidays and really happy with this dress. Nice quality and looks good on." Fashion fans are running to Asda for 'amazing value' holiday jewellery - including must-have £3.50 claw clips And a third raved: "Amazing quality. Great value. Looks very pretty." Meanwhile, a fourth said: "This dress is just so cute and will be worn a few time this summer. "True size 10, sits just above the knee. Very flattering and an absolute bargain." Elsewhere in store, shoppers are going wild for a £20 floral dress in that's "perfect in every way" and has you sorted for holiday or weddings. 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.

Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
