Disappointing dress

No, I don't recommend this

I liked the material and the style of this dress but not the odd bunched up knot on the stomach area! If I could have seen a way of altering it I would have kept it..sorry.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

I loved this dress. The fabric is beautiful and although I had it for several days before I was able to unwrap it, there was not a crease in it when I did. However I had to return it as the ‘twist front’ design in the front was not flattering. I have a fairly flat tummy but it made me look pregnant. Disappointing as it fitted beautifully otherwise. I bought a similar style dress in a red and white print which does not have the ‘twist’ and that one is fine. I have ‘recommended’ it as ticking one of the boxes was obligatory and it is a lovely dress. However do try it on first.

Disappointing Dress

No, I don't recommend this

Sorry, but not for me. What’s happened to M&S’s waistlines. Suddenly the body is too short and thus the so called waist is far too high. And whoever thought the bunch of material in the front was flattering needs a serious rethink.

Disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

This dress not for me Lovely material and nice soft colour to it Tight fit at the top with very long sleeves Far too much material in the skirt and a very strange length which is very unflattering in a mature lady May be better if it had been lined and shorter

New dress

No, I don't recommend this

Love the material and animal print pattern of this dress. On me it is a very good fit. However,I agree with other reviewers that the sleeves are too long. The knot in the front of the dress is a bad design. My tummy is flat but this dress is very unflattering over the tummy area. I lke the dress and have decided to keep it as I plan to shorten the sleeves to just below the elbow, and remove the knot ........when I've worked out how it's put together.

Beautiful Dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is very nice, the material is good quality. The fit is perfect, apart from the length, I'm only 5'1" so it was a little too long for me. I didn't find that a problem as I took the hem up myself. Had a few compliments whilst wearing the dress so that's a bonus.

nice dress

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered a ten and an eight, the 10 was too big but the 8 fits well. Very comfortable. Others have mentioned pleating at front makes stomach look big but I didn't find this on me.

Lovely material

No, I don't recommend this

This dress fitted beautifully and the material is lovely, the length is perfect however I have returned it due to the twist at the front sticking out too far, I'm afraid it added unwanted inches to my waist. If the twist was flatter I would love it.

Not a flattering dresd

No, I don't recommend this

Should have taken note of the other reviews. The twist at the front is not a flattering look when you have a stomach it made it look even worse. I didn't like the material. I would not recommend this dress

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

Dress I ordered was rather long in the sleeve but I changed it for the Petite size and it was perfect, even though I am tall. Lovely material, looks more expensive than it is. Saw the comments about the cut making some people look pregnant but I didn’t find this an issue.

Snake skin dress

No, I don't recommend this

Dress looks attractive however the gathering at the front of dress spoils it . The waistline is too high making more maternity style with gathering at front . What a shame as length of frock good
