Lovely but not designed for wearing
No, I don't recommend this
This is a lovely dress. The different fabrics and colours work well together. The skirt bit could do with being a bit less balloony but it's OK. Unfortunately, whoever designed it did not give any thought to how you should get it on or off or walk in it. There is no zip and the stitching which attaches the top bit to the bottom has no give in it at all. So while it fits great around the waist once on (though I have a small waist so it won't be great for everyone) it's almost impossible to get over your shoulders or hips. Similarly, the bottom of the skirt narrows and the hem has no give so it's quite difficult to walk in unless you take small steps. It's a shame that these simple things have spoiled a lovely dress.

shame about the fit
No, I don't recommend this
Beautiful dress- contrasting fabric for the top and bottom of the dress which looks edgy and modern. I'm afraid I've had to send the dress back though because of the fit / shape of the skirt which narrows at the hem line and billows like a balloon from the waist. If you're curvy, this dress will make your tummy, hips and bottom look big despite the size selected which is such a shame as I love it- sent back 2 sizes as both unsuitable.

Disappointed
No, I don't recommend this
I thought I would love this dress but when it came it was not as I hoped. Odd sizing, fabric and overall not pleasing. It was returned

Comfy
Yes, I recommend this
The dress is a little tight to get over your head, but once on it is very comfortable .

more material needed?
No, I don't recommend this
This is potentially a nice dress-nice stretchy top and nice subtle silk- like sheen bottom half- but- the part where the two meet is too tight, i managed to get it on but having no stretch in it, it was a bit of a struggle and i worried it might get damaged. Also, the hem was too narrow for me, (making it hard to lift a leg) a shame because if there had been a little more material i would have kept it. The back of the skirt ballooned out when i walked because of the style, which i also didn't like, i thought it looked a bit cheap. But then i am quite particular! Otherwise, good length and fit apart from the aforementioned. I am 5'5" and it rested on my knee.

Pretty Design but odd fit
No, I don't recommend this
This dress is nice enough quality and the navy colour was nice. But too baggy/shapeless on bottom half and tight on top. I am a size 8.

Stylish dress but not for the short ladies
Yes, I recommend this
This dress looks far better in reality than it does in the pictures. The colour combination is lovely and the silky look of the bottom part adds a smart touch to it. Sadly I am 5'4 and it looks to long on me. I would have tried the 6 instead but that was never available so I'll have to return it. This size group seems to be neglected by M&S. Another idea would be to make this dress in the Petite range.

Great Dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a lovely dress and very flattering. I also own the black version and would by others if there were more colours. My only issue is that I wish it was 2 inches longer as it sits at an odd length for me and I am 5'7".

Unexpected skirt fabric
No, I don't recommend this
This dress fitted nicely, however the skirt material was unexpectedly a silky feel - which was nice but i felt for a casual dress it may damage easily and therefore I returned this dress. I seemed a bit of a mismatch with the top half.
Helpful?
Not for me
No, I don't recommend this
although the dress fitted, it was very difficult to get on as it has no zip. Because of this, the waist was larger than it would have needed to be if there had been a side zip. So the fit wasn't good and therefore not for me

Not comfortable
No, I don't recommend this
I was disappointed with this dress. I am a standard M&S size 10/8 and ordered a size 10. I found it uncomfortable around my rib cage where the stretchy material meets the skirt. I took it back.

Great informal dress
Yes, I recommend this
wanted a comfy yet on-trend dress for informal occasions to dress up or down, with heels, or boots, this was just right! Good price. Nice fabrics and good shape, the skirt has a sheen to it whilst jersey top fits and slims. Liked the 3/4 sleeve too.

Slinky dress
Yes, I recommend this
not too casual, not too dressy , just right for those less than average days. Be advised that you will get some really flattering comments

Disappointed with the fit
Yes, I recommend this
I ordered this dress online as the style appealed to me. I am a short / petite size 12 but sadly the high style waist was tight and the skirt too long for me.

Not for me
Yes, I recommend this
I was looking forward to trying this dress on, however, was doubtful about the colours. The black one would have worked better for me but it my size was sold out. The top bit of the dress fits well but I’m bottom heavy and I had to pull the skirt down to get it into place. Looked a bit like wearing a balloon. Colours didn’t work for me either. Sadly returned it.

Lovely dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a really fab little autumn dress. Looks great with tights and ankle boots. The skirt is a lovely length (I'm 5ft 2) and it looks smart yet casual. Would love this style in different prints too.
