Shoppers stocking up early on Sainsbury's autumn dress that looks expensive, flatters figure and you can size down
SUMMER hasn't even officially started yet, but fashion fans are already racing to bag the perfect AUTUMN dress for this year. Tu Clothing, the in-house fashion label for Sainsbury's, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices. And if you like to look expensive on a budget as well as feeling effortlessly fashionable, this supermarket frock is for you. Shoppers have insisted the new Sainsbury's midaxi dress is perfect for all shapes and "gets so many compliments". The "beautiful" Black Embroidered Sleeve Boho Midi Dress is priced at £28 and comes in sizes six to 24. Describing it online, the Sainsbury's team say: "For a boho-inspired look, reach for our black midi dress. "Designed with floral embroidered sleeves which come in a flattering volume shape, this dress features a notch neckline finished with a tie-waist belt. "An elegant option for summer outings and sun-soaked holidays." Although it's being advertised as a summer frock, organised fashion fans are actually stashing it away for autumn - insisting the luxurious thick material is perfect for the colder months. It has already racked up a 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 shopper said: "I don't tend to wear black dresses as I find they can drain my colour but I'm so pleased I got this. It's beautiful. Shoppers run to bag on-trend spring dress with 'boho vibes' in Sainsbury's "Gives me lovely shape, has pockets, material is slightly thick so probs a bit hot for summer but spring and autumn it'll be perfect." A second wrote: "This dress looks and feels much more expensive than it is. "Good length. The embroidered sleeve are voluminous and make a statement. Love the detailing on the sash belt that ties it all together. "Heavy cotton - looking forward to wearing it in the autumn. Tu sizing doesn't skimp. Bought it in two sizes and the smaller one fitted." 3 "Great dress - looks a lot more expensive", echoed a third. "The sleeves are fab, someone commentated on the fabric being thick but tbh think it makes it look more expensive." A fourth gushed: "I am so impressed with this dress, the quality is superb, it is very flattering and I have received many compliments on wearing it." "Great dress, a little too heavy weight for summer but keeping for autumn", chimed in a fifth. Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "I initially ordered this dress in a size 14 but returned and bought a size 12 instead… there is still plenty of room in the size 12! "Generous sizing (I'm usually a size 16 in TU's tops). Very flattering, comfortable and looks lovely!" 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.

‘Running to Primark' cry shoppers as they spot perfect summer top for holidays and it's a bargain at £6
SPENDING money on a holiday can be expensive enough, so finding bargains for your suitcase can make all the difference. And shoppers have been flocking to Primark after spotting a "cute" floral top for just £6 that will be perfect in the sunshine. 2 The retailer is known for its viral products, and this ruched bandeau top might just be another hit for fashion fans. The bargain buy is especially ideal if you're looking to avoid tan lines, and can easily be dressed up or down. The strapless top, which also comes in ivory and black, is abailable in sizes XXS to XL. Describing it on the website, the Primark team say: "This strapless bandeau top in its floral print is perfect for adding some versatility to your wardrobe. "The ruched detailing throughout the body adds texture and a comfortable fit. "Ideal for pairing with skirts, shorts, jeans or even over shirts, this top is a versatile and stylish choice to add to your collection." Staff at the retail giant's Lincoln store said fashion fans should "get ready to be obsessed" with the new top that they "know is going to be popular". And it looks like they're right, as a short TikTok clip showing it off quickly racked up 120,000 views. One shopper cried: "Running to Primark tomorrow then." Someone else echoed: "On my way tomorrow, see ya then." Fashion fans 'need' Primark's new £14 linen trousers - there's two colours to choose from and they're great for spring "I need", gushed a third. A fourth wrote: "Not only reasonable prices BUT THAT STRAPLESS." "These are so cuteeee", said a fifth. Meanwhile, a sixth sighed: "Okay so why isn't my Primark like that then." The stunning top isn't the only reason to dash to Primark right now though, as shoppers are also loving two new pairs of gorgeous trousers. The summer trousers have been touted as 'super comfy and lightweight', and they're also purse-friendly. Bargain hunters are sure to be left beaming as the Primark store in Lincoln has taken to social media to show off the new affordable trousers, which are priced at just £14. Alongside the short clip, which gave shoppers a close-up look at the high street buys, an employee from the Lincoln store beamed: 'The linen trousers EVERYONE needs!!' The trousers are available in black and cream, and not only are they cute and bloat friendly, but they're perfect for keeping cool in summer too. The Primark employee further added: 'The weather's warming up, that can only mean one thing… linen trouser time!!' 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.
