Looks Good
Yes, I recommend this
This dress is lovely but like so many others have written it was really strange having the underneath bodice not attached, I feared that it would fall down. I wore it on Christmas Day and it was fine and had lots of compliments. I bought it with 20% off so it was a good buy, not sure that I would have wanted to pay full price though. All in all a lovely dress which I would recommend. Sizing was good.

Attractive dress BUT......
No, I don't recommend this
Lovely dress, good length (just over my knee & I'm 5' 7") and feels true to size. M&S must have heard other misgivings about slip not being fixed as the slip had been caught to dress with a few stitches on side seams. Dress looks lovely when stood still BUT when I walked the dress rode up - not a good look. Sadly it went back.

Lace dress

Loved the dress but had to return as although side 12 is normally good was much too small.about 6 inch gap at zip. Last one available so had to look elsewhere. Very disappointed !

I had such hopes for this as a Christmas season dress...but alas the shoulders stuck out at a funny angle!

Dissapointed.
No, I don't recommend this
Unfortunately this dress was not for me. returned this item which is unusual for me. Seemed to be a mismatch of sizing. The bodice was generously ample but the lower half too tight around the hips. Also looked quite cheap. disappointed as M and S usually so reliable with sizing and quality. Have bough several Limited edition items recently which have been really good.

Lovely dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a really lovely dress. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable and elegant except for the front lining. As described by the previous there is a fault with the top of the lining as it is not made correctly. I too also had to get an assistant to show me how this was to be done up. My dress also had a small hole in the seams at the back of the arms. As I had to wear it the same evening I mended it. I had a lot of comments on the dress with everyone saying how nice it was.

lovely dress, but not fit for purpose
No, I don't recommend this
This dress is a great fit and looks fantastic. But unfortunately it has a major design flaw, as other customers have found. The bodice should have been sewn into the dress, as it falls down all the time and is unwearable as it is. A small piece of ribbon with a popper goes through a loop on the bodice, but it is far too short, and the dress is all out of kilter when it's done up. I bought it online and tried it on in the shop when I collected it. I asked 2 members of staff for help in the changing room, and they agreed that it seemed to be a design flaw and that it can't be worn without alterations. I don't want to send it back, as it fits me perfectly and this is very rare when it comes to dresses, as my top and bottom are completely different sizes! But I'm not good at sewing, and I don't want to pay to have a brand new dress altered. So, M & S, what about a gesture of goodwill for all customers who have bought a lovely dress, but one that's not fit for purpose?

Lovely party dress
Yes, I recommend this
Bought this dress in my usual size 8 but it came up big - could have done with a 6 but, as with all M&S clothes, a size 6 is as easy to get hold of as a winning Lottery ticket. In fact, I'm not sure they exist as they've always sold out. Please M&S - stock more size 6 and 8 clothes.

After reading the reviews I was a little concerned as to what size would fit. Got the size 12. I am bigger on the top than the bottom. It fitted perfectly as it is slightly stretchy. Very happy with my purchase.

stylish and comfortable

The lace makes this dress bang on trend. Looking forward to wearing it to Christmas party night. Tried on more expensive dresses in other shops but this was the best value for money.

Perfect LBD

Versatile little black dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a lovely LBD and will come in very useful, before purchasing I read the reviews and decided to take the plunge. I am certainly not disappointed, however I do see what other people mean about the under top not being attached to the lace, attaching it would have made a lot of difference, here's hoping it doesn't move when worn.

Bodice Issues
Yes, I recommend this
This is a lovely dress and one I potentially plan to keep, but I need to make a couple of moderations. The bodice inside the dress isn't attached to the lace, and it doesn't have straps either - so unless the dress is really tight on you it will slip down to reveal your bra within a minute or two. This is a really odd design, but hopefully I can sew the bodice to the dress without it being obvious. Otherwise it fits really nicely!

Great dress for the price!
Yes, I recommend this
This is a lovely dress and will see anybody through the party season. A few niggles like running a bit on the small side, the bodice not being attached and the lacy bits can be a bit stringy, BUT for the price you can't beat it. Gives you a great shape and I love the 3/4 sleeves!

By far the best - less is definitely more!
Yes, I recommend this
I have now tried virtually every occasionwear dress (this season) and I cannot find anything to compete with this dress - it's stylish, true to size, the right length on a petite frame - all in all, a very classy LBD.

Flattering Dress
Yes, I recommend this
I have just bought this dress from a store. Saw it on a display model and knew it was just what I wanted! It is very flattering and good value for money. I have just lost a lot of weight and didn't know what size I was! I tried sizes 16 &18 and 16 was a perfect fit. I am definately not a size 14 so I would say this dress is true to size. Wish it came in navy as well. Have deducted one star as I would have been happier if the satin top under the lace had been attached, but it didn't bother me when I was wearing the dress. Well done M & S for a lovely dress.

Bulky Round Waist
Yes, I recommend this
True to size and an elegant looking dress, but it is really bulky round the waist-a real shame.
