Shoppers in frenzy over floaty £18 Sainsbury's dress that flatters curves and is the ultimate in comfort
SHOPPERS are in a frenzy after spotting a 'gorgeous' summer dress in Sainsbury's - and said it was the ultimate in comfort. Tu Clothing is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and is beloved by fashion fans for its stylish buys at affordable prices. So if you want to look fashionable on a budget while you're sunning it up an home or abroad, this bargain frock is the buy for you. Shoppers have insisted the bright orange tie-neck smock dress is 'the style perfect for hot summer days' thanks to its floaty style and semi-sheer fabric. The beachy dress comes in sizes six to 24, and also comes in a bright blue and in white. But it's the bright coral that shoppers are particularly loving. Describing it on the website, the Tu Clothing team says: "This orange smock dress is the perfect addition to your beachwear/holiday wardrobe. "Designed in a semi sheer fabric. it has been made with a tie-detail at the neckline, frill sleeves and comes in a tiered shape for an elegant look." The frock is just £18 - and there's plenty online in the orange shade at the mo, but it's bound to fly so grab it soon as it has already racked up glowing reviews from delighted fashion fans. One five-star write up said: "I bought this for my holiday, great value." Another commented: "I saw this dress in store, but they didn't have my size so ordered online. Great fit - I went for a 12 as it is quite a loose design. "Perfect for over a bikini. Is really well made and a great shape. "Thought it was great value for money as I have a similar one which cost considerably more. Would definitely recommend." I work in Sainsbury's - my picks from new autumn collection, 1920s trend is back And a third gushed: "Perfect beach dress. Highly recommend." A fourth added: "Lovely one comfy to wear." But buyers suggested people snap up a size down, as it's such a generous fit. One said: "Nice dress, just what I expected. Saw in store then ordered my size but it comes up big so sized down. Lovely colour and very comfortable." It's not the first summery dress to fly off the shelves in Sainsbury's. Fashion fans are loving a blue and white daisy-print frock insisting it guarantees complements.

The five-star Sainsbury's dress that's only £15, flatters pear shapes and makes curvy shoppers ‘feel confident'
SHOPPERS are racing to Sainsbury's after spotting the perfect summer dress in the sale for just £15. The supermarket's in-house fashion label Tu is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion. 3 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. I'm a size 14 and did the best Tesco summer haul - run before new co-ord sells out 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. 3

SHOPPERS have been racing to Primark to bag a pretty holiday outfit that's a "90s rewind" and only costs £20. The bargain retail giant has super-sized the floral trend with its oversized hibiscus print co-ord. 3 3 3 The cropped mesh top is priced at just £8 while the matching midi skirt will only set you back £12. And fashion fans have insisted the cowl neck cut and loud print are a throwback to the 90s, while the lightweight material is perfect for the sunshine. Both pieces are available in sizes XXS to XL and come in black or pink with a red floral pattern. Describing it on the website, the Primark team say: "Make a statement in this cropped mesh top with a bold red hibiscus print on a black base. "The semi-sheer mesh fabric gives it a light, airy feel, while the fitted silhouette and cowl neckline add a touch of effortless style. "Sleeveless and cropped, it's perfect for summer and pairing with the matching skirt. "Whether you're overseas or basking in the sun at home, this top brings a splash of tropical vibes to your wardrobe." Staff at the bargain chain's Lincoln store warned shoppers to "run don't walk" if they want to get their hands on the set while they showed it off in a TikTok video. And fashionistas have already been going wild for it, as one gushed: "Lovely for night out." "I need one for hols", wrote a second. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe A third added: "Why is Primark actually eating lately." "Okay loveee", cried a fourth. A fifth added: "So cute." Meanwhile, a sixth chimed in: "1990's rewind." But not everybody is convinced by the bargain outfit's retro vibes. "Some people rock this as wallpaper in their living rooms", one joked. A second chimed in: "Looks like a nan's kitchen table cloth." "Used to have wallpaper that looked like that", a third insisted. Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Screams 1990s .. also seen wallpaper like this I'm sure." Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
