Wonderful Dress!

Yes, I recommend this

Really love this dress - I am normally a size 14 but the 12 was big enough. I agree with previous reviews- more of an Autumn dress as material is rather thick for the Summer BUT this is not a criticism as it will take me into the next season with thick tights and biker boots - a good purchase!

Summer is here

No, I don't recommend this

The dress is delightfully large and ideal for a hot day where you want something that only touches at the shoulders! I really like the weight and texture of the material but the only thing that irritates is that not all the fabric is the same way up - this wouldn't be noticeable other than the check is asymmetrical. The fabric in an entire layer is in the same direction so it wasn't initially obvious but having been spotted it is now hard to ignore! For all that I am still very fond of the dress but am pleased I didn't pay full price.

Comfortable all-occasion dress

Yes, I recommend this

This was bought in the sale so was excellent value. After reading other comments, I thought I would go a size down, but unfortunately this wasn't available. Consequently, I bought my usual size, and found that - while very roomy - it was not excessively so, and has proved incredibly comfy during this year's heatwave. Looks fine worn casually, but dresses up with accessories too. Very pleased.

Check skater dress

Yes, I recommend this

Got the dress in the sale which was a bonus. Had taken advice from previous reviewers and ordered size smaller. Fits great and in my opinion is also heavy enough to wear in colder months with thick black opaque tights and boots or whatever your choice. Good job but wouldn't have purchased at full asking price. The "down" ratings are are prior to sale price and had previous reviews not been available.

Loose tiered dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love the loose tiered style but haven’t worn it yet as it’s been too warm. The fabric feels good and hang beautifully. The only niggle I have with it is that the button placket gapes in a peculiar way. I can solve this by sewing it up as the dress fits easily over the head anyway. It’s a style that works all year round, I would love it in a floral fabric.

trendy/wearable/comfy dress

Yes, I recommend this

M&S description of this dress is accurate in my opinion.I am tall ( nearly 6ft) and a size 12 top and 14 bottom. I purchased a 12 in this dress and I love it. It feels fun and a bit of a change. It does have a weighty feel to the fabric which adds to the swing as you move, however I do think it feels cool for an average summer day as it hangs very loosely. I expect I too will wear it layered with tights and boots as the autumn approaches and as others have said will be on the lookout for an autumn/winter variation that I could layer.( I fancy a soft denim please M& S or maybe something in a bright colour for cooler months!) The only slight downside for me is that it has a slight tendency to fall at the back and I do need to pull the front down occasionally to compensate but it's not a big issue.

Cool Dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is very loose fitting, extremely cool for a hot day. Quite stylish and the material is a nice quality. I chose a 16 size and it was ample, very swishy, I liked it though. So it was kept.

Comfortable and fashionable

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this for my 17 year old, petite daughter. She loves the dress and it looks great on her. She usually wears size 8 and we ordered size 6, which is perfect on her. The dress falls just beyond the knee. It washes well too.

Looks unflattering on me

No, I don't recommend this

It is designed to be oversized, but it still looked too baggy somehow.

Comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

I love this dress! It does run large but for summer that is a plus. It's "wearabilty" is what sold me as it may be worn alone or with a white or black jean. I think we all need a little "hippy vibe" in our lives!

Fabulous dress, right on trend

Yes, I recommend this

Girgeous fun dress in a beautiful tiered baby doll style. I'm 1.78m tall and it's perfect. It is very wide but that's the style and it is very flattering as it swings. The viscose material is very comfortable to wear. Very highly ecommended for any talk-ish person who wants to be on trend M&S - please do more colours!!

A lovely dress from the front, but.....

No, I don't recommend this

This was lovely dress from the front, but as with a number of this type of gathered and tiered dresses this season, again the side view was far too wide and made me a look frumpy and childish. I would also have preferred it a couple of inches longer. Very disappointing, as I loved the front view. I have returned.
