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.

She wrote: "An animated speaker who charmed strangers young and old with his quick smile and generous hugs, the self-described country boy from Minnesota was cracking jokes til the end." McKaela added: "As Papa would say, love you all the mostest." Tributes have poured into his Story Time with Papa Jake TikTok account. read more news HOSPITAL HORROR Man sucked into MRI machine went in to see his wife and died in her arms Meanwhile towns around Normandy, still grateful to Allied forces who helped defeat the occupying Nazis in World War II, paid him homage too. Born in 1922, in Owatonna, Minnesota, Larson enlisted in the National Guard in 1938. The war hero had lied about his age as he was just 15 years old at the time. In 1942, he was sent overseas and was stationed in Northern Ireland before becoming operations sergeant and assembling the planning books for the invasion of Normandy. He was among the nearly 160,000 brave allied troops who stormed the Normandy shore on D-Day, June 6, 1944, surviving machine-gun fire when he landed on Omaha Beach. Larson said at the 81st anniversary of D-Day in June: "We are the lucky ones. We are their family. We have the responsibility to honor these guys who gave us a chance to be alive." Nazi Hunters Thomas Will Ludwigsburg Germany Robin Perrie It represents one of the defining moments of the war and of evil Hitler's defeat. Larson's incredible service earned him a Bronze Star and a French Legion of Honor award. In recent years, Larson made repeated trips to Normandy for D-Day commemorations and at every stop. And since gaining social media popularity too, Papa Jake was greeted by people asking for a selfie - but offered big hugs instead. One memorable encounter came in 2023, when he came across Bill Gladden, a then-99-year-old British veteran who survived a glider landing on D-Day and a bullet that tore through his ankle. He told Gladden as they held hands: "I want to give you a hug, thank you. I got tears in my eyes. We were meant to meet." Gladden passed away the following year. In his TikTok posts that have accumulated hundreds of thousands of views and likes, Larson combined humorous anecdotes with somber reminders about the horrors of war. Speaking of his social media fame in 2023, he said: "I'm just a country boy. Now I'm a star on TikTok. I'm a legend! I didn't plan this, it came about." Larson has previously refused to call himself a "hero" and asked world leaders to "make peace not war".

BBC star reveals horror after landlord recorded naked images on hidden spy cam
She claims he spiked her drink the night before she discovered the device Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BBC actress has told of her horror after discovering her landlord planted a spy cam in her bathroom. The Scots star — who has appeared in prime-time comedies and dramas — found the recording device hidden in a washing basket after taking a shower. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A BBC actress (pictured) opened up on her spy cam ordeal as cops launch a probe Credit: Newsline 4 The clandestine device was stashed inside a washing basket in the bathroom Credit: Supplied 4 The performer's pervert landlord inadvertently filmed himself on his own device Credit: Supplied 4 The shocked star quickly removed the camera and fled the property Credit: Supplied She fled the flat before watching back the footage and finding intimate clips of herself — plus an image of the creep changing the memory card. Cops have launched a probe. Last night the telly star said: 'I was in a state of absolute shock. He filmed me when I was at my most vulnerable.' The performer told how she moved into the property in France last July after a break-up with a boyfriend. Her 40-something landlord — whom she believed was a drug user — soon seemed suspicious. The actress recalled: 'Something didn't feel right with him.' Later she found two holes drilled into the bathroom wall which she plugged with cotton earbuds. And the night before she found the recording device she claimed the sicko spiked her drink. She recalled: 'It was like something out of a horror movie. 'I always used to notice this little black dot in the washing basket across from the shower. 'I never in a million years thought he'd be spying on me. But given what had happened the night before, I went to have a closer look. 'My heart just stopped and I burst into tears. There was a green light flashing on the camera. 'I knew that it was on and I was being recorded.' Initially she remained in the bathroom and switched off the lights fearing the sicko could be waiting outside 'with a knife'. Eventually she packed a bag and fled the property before returning with cops days later. She eventually plucked up the courage to watch the video and was horrified saying: 'I was in complete shock.' Police said: 'The subject of the complaint is a violation of privacy by filming or recording or transmitting the image of a person of a sexual nature.'
