Looks amazing on and is very flattering.

I bought this in the ivory and it looks amazing. Fully lined and a perfect shape.

Lovely style

Yes, I recommend this

I loved the look of this dress when I first saw it in white on the M&S website. I bought both colours but returned the black one. I like the style, shape and length of the dress and it feels comfortable on. The only niggle is that I think the side zip area along the seam looks bumpy. I have yet to decide if to keep the white one.

Summer dress with great style and fit

Yes, I recommend this

The dress looks much nicer on than on than expected. Although I am a petite fit normally the longer length of the dress on me is perfect for summer outings and our forthcoming cruise. I liked it so much that I ought both colours .

Lovely black dress

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered both colours and both fitted however there is a weird bulge at the middle bust seam. Happy to correct for the black as I like the look fit and style on me. Agree with others the ties are too long. Liked the white but as it fit well due to the bias cut you could easily see my belly button indent which I don’t like. Shame it doesn’t have cotton lining and pockets could easily have been inserted without spoiling the overall look and not adding huge cost. Overall the black is a keeper but could have been so much more!

Stylish dress with a very attrative price tag!!

I have recently bought this dress for a holiday in the coming weeks. The fit is really good and drape ot the material very flattering. Thoughz I am petite in stature the length is good Not as long as many M&S dresses I have tried this year and because of ties on shoulder the bust area is also flattering to a larger bust!! I actually wore it to a BBQ and received lots of compliments and in the heat it was a perfect dress!
