Tu at Sainsbury’s £40 bow dress is dupe of designer frock but £590 cheaper & it’s perfect for Christmas party season
IT can be hard to find the perfect Christmas dress for a party or the big day itself, particularly if you are on a budget saving for presents.
However, Sainsbury’s has released a stunning Christmas bow dress which is £590 cheaper than a designer alternative.

Hailing it the “dress of the season”, Tu – the supermarket’s clothing brand – showed off their Black Velvet Bow Front Mini Dress.
The show-stopping dress is made of a soft velvet material with features on-trend bow detailing at the front.
It has flattering puff sleeves and is in a mini length, which they say is “perfect for partnering with tights and a pair of heels.”
The stylish number is currently £40, which is a steal compared to what the designer version would set you back.
Rebecca Vallance has a Aubree floral-appliqué crêpe minidress, which also features similar detailing down the front.
The dress style has been seen on a number of celebrities, including British royalty Princess Beatrice, and Hollywood royalty Paris Hilton.
You may need a balance account worthy of the monarchy to purchase the designer dress, which is £630.
However, there is currently a sale on the website meaning it is down to £378.
There is also a sequin version for £408 if you can afford the price tag.
Bows have been all the rage this Christmas, with shoppers desperate to get their hands on H&M’s viral cardigan.

If you are struggling to get your hands on the viral item, a fashion lover has shared how she made her own DIY version for a fraction of the price.
H&M bow dupe
Instead of heading to H&M, Becky, who posts under @house.of.lane, popped to her local Poundland where she spotted a similar-looking cardi.
In a clip, she shared: “Want the #viral sold out Bow Cardi but either cannot locate in stock or don’t want to pay loads?
“I was able to make my own version of the sold out viral bow cardi for nearly 80 per cent less using items from Poundland.”

In order to create her fashion dupe, she picked up two sets of beautiful velvet bows in green and red to be clipped onto the buttons.
Becky continued: “What’s great about these bows is they clip on, which also I’m thinking will be easier for washing instead of glueing them on.
“In total, for the cardi and the free bows, it comes in at £14.”
This marks a big saving compared to H&M’s version, which has been setting customers back £44.99.
Speaking about her two bow sets, Becky added: “I couldn’t decide which colour I like, but as I’m able to clip these on and clip them off, I’ve got the option of the green or the red.
“Let me know in the comments which colour you like, or if you’re going to give this a try.”

Fabulous Fashion Team on why Maroon is this season’s must-have shade
The new season means wardrobe changeovers and new trends.
Maroon has dominated the A/W catwalks. It has been seen on big-name designer catwalks such as Tom Ford, Gucci, Valentino and Versace to name a few.
Perfect to mix with your current wardrobe, don’t think that this deep shade is just for the colder months.
It’s also great to wear at this time of year and one you can continue wearing throughout the rest of 2024 and beyond.
Here, the Fabulous Fashion Team reveal why they’re loving Maroon…
“There’s something about maroon’s deep, rich colour that instantly makes you look well put-together and expensive,” Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor.
“I adore how maroon can elevate an outfit, whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or going for a more casual look,” Emily Regan, Fashion Assistant.
“Burgundy, maroon, claret, carmine – there are loads of words to describe this season’s IT colour – but there is one thing this expensive-looking hue will bring to the party, and that’s drama!” Tracey Lea Sayer, Fashion Director.
“Who says a deep colour like maroon can’t be worn in summer? This shade is great to buy now and take you all the way through the changing seasons,” Abby McHale, Deputy Fashion Editor.
