‘So easy to wear' cry shoppers over perfect summer dress in Sainsbury's – it's comfy, looks expensive & doesn't crease
IF you're still looking to top up your summer wardrobe before the sunshine returns, Sainsbury's has got you covered. The supermarket's in-house fashion label, Tu Clothing, is renowned for its stylish buys at reasonable prices. 4 Shoppers are running to Sainsbury's for a new summer dress Credit: Getty 4 The vibrant strappy frock is just £22.50 Credit: Sainsbury's/TU Clothing 4 Fashion fans say it's comfy, doesn't crease and looks expensive Credit: Sainsbury's/TU Clothing 4 It's almost sold out online Credit: Sainsbury's/TU Clothing And if you like to be comfortable as well as fashionable, you've definitely come to the right place. Shoppers have insisted the new The "beautiful" Multi Postcard Printed Strappy Midaxi Dress is priced at £22.50 and comes in sizes six to 24. Describing it online, the Sainsbury's team say: "Designed in a bright postcard print for a distinctive summer look, this sun dress is a chic choice for beach days and sun-soaked getaways. Read more in Fabulous "Cut to midaxi length, it comes in a loose, flowing silhouette - finished with shoulder straps and a v-neckline." Unsurprisingly, the colourful frock has racked up a flurry of five-star reviews and is almost completely sold out online. So if you're looking to get your hands on it, you may need to leg it to your nearest store. One delighted fashionista gushed: "So easy to wear and looks great with a tan to show off. Doesn't crease either! Most read in Fabulous "Got lots of great comments in it.. looks more expensive than it actually is." A second wrote: "Bought for holiday and it really is perfect. I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too "Size is spot on and I don't need to shorten it as I'm five foot one inch that is usually the case. "The quality is excellent. So pleased I've bought loads more on line for my holiday. Quick delivery and easy returns. Well done Tu." A third chimed in: "I fell in love with this dress and it's perfect for my trip to the Caribbean. "The fit is excellent and flows beautifully, lovely fabric, adjustable straps and pockets! The length is great, usually they are too long, but this falls just right on me at 5ft 1." "I love the fabric, it's a good length and has pockets. Perfect for summer", cried another shopper. A fifth revealed: "I popped into Sainsbury's to get my mum's shopping and saw this dress as soon as I walked in. "I just fell in love with it; the vibrant colours, the style - pockets! - and it just made me smile. "I wasn't disappointed when I tried it on when I got home. It is easy to wear, comfortable and just the right length. I am so pleased and can't wait to wear it." Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "Adjustable straps floaty and a linen type feel to the fabric. On trend." 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.

OpenAI's biggest acquisitions before it took over Jony Ive's io: Details
OpenAI yesterday announced that it is acquiring io, Jony Ive's startup, in a deal that is worth $6.5 billion. This will bring on Jony, who designed some of the most popular Apple products, as the creative head of OpenAI to create devices for the generative AI arena. Having said that, it is interesting to note that Ive's isn't the only acquisition that OpenAI has made so far. In fact, OpenAI has reportedly acquired several other companies over the years; here are the details. OpenAI acquired a company called Windsurf, formerly known as Codieum, for $3 billion earlier this month in May 2025. VentureBeat reported that OpenAI needed to arm the developer ecosystem with superior coding capabilities and also become the primary interface that deals with AI agents. In June 2024, Sam Altman-led OpenAI did acquire Rockset, which was founded by Indian-origin founders. 'We will integrate Rockset's technology to power our retrieval infrastructure across products, and members of Rockset's world-class team will join OpenAI,' OpenAI said in June 2024, post the acquisiton. OpenAI acquired Global Illumination in August 2023. While the value of the deal is undisclosed, it is worth noting that this startup was founded by ex-Instagram employees. This brought a lot of experience in product building to the company. OpenAI acquired Multi in 2024. Multi, a startup based out of New York City, reportedly focuses on screen share and collaboration tech, especially for workers who are using Macs, as per VentureBeat. 'Recently, we've been increasingly asking ourselves how we should work with computers. Not on or using computers, but truly with computers. With AI. We believe it's one of the most important product questions of our time,' Multi said. It added, 'And so, we're beyond excited to share that Multi is joining OpenAI!'

However, with this handy item you can now spend hours on end carrying out your gardening tasks without discomfort. The Whitefurze Garden Kneeler is currently available for £7.99 from Home Bargains. Manufacturers detailed the various uses of this compact garden gadget. "This lightweight, padded kneeler doubles as a comfy seat and features a handy storage compartment, making it perfect for all your planting sessions," they said. The hinged storage department under the seat can store all your hand-held gardening tools. According to the product description, this item is "great for all gardeners for tasks such as long planting sessions, carrying your much need equipment within your seat". A similar item is also available from B&Q, for a significantly higher price. The Home Garden Folding Multi Use Garden Kneeler and Bench is listed for £24.99. Described as "cleverly-designed", this kneeler is said to be "a sturdy, multi-use gardening aid". The exact date Aldi's sell out wooden garden day bed returns to stores While this item doesn't feature a storage compartment, it can be folded, making it more compact. The legs of the bench can act as handles to assist you in getting up and down, for improved stability. To avoid knee pain while gardening, experts recommend changing positions frequently, relieving stress. They also suggest taking regular breaks to give your knees some relief while tending to your flowerbeds. Home Bargains is selling a budget buy guaranteed to brighten up your space. Top gardening trends of 2025 Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said! Another garden light from the store is described as having a "cute" twist. And shoppers can also pick up a £9.99 novelty decor buy that adds character to flowerbeds. A £7 gardening gadget is also available from Home Bargains and is guaranteed to transform your lawn. Home Bargains shoppers can choose from a variety of 20 plants available for as little as £2.99. 3 The Whitefurze Garden Kneeler is available from Home Bargains for £7.99 Credit: Home Bargains
