Comfortable smart to casual dress

Yes, I recommend this

I’ve worn this dress twice now and it is just what I was after. The loose style makes it very comfortable, easy to wear and move in - I often struggle to lift my arms above my head in dresses with sleeves. There is enough shape that it is still flattering. I managed to dress it up smart enough for work as well as for drinks with friends. The soft velvety stripes are a really nice extra detail. The material is too thick to see through but thin enough that it doesn’t get too warm.

Nice dress but not for me

Yes, I recommend this

Thought might get away with this style. But being petite top and regular bottom it sat on my hips. So returned.

Great buy

Yes, I recommend this

Bought in the post-Christmas sale. It was a great deal and is great quality. It does come up quite loose (which is the style) but you may want to think about going a size down if you don’t want it too baggy.

Terrible fit

No, I don't recommend this

A lovely dress, but the sizing is really big. I could fit two of me in the size 12. Very unflattering and I will be returning for a refund.

Too short!

No, I don't recommend this

I loved this dress and was very disappointed to have to return it because it was too short. This style would look great as a midi dress but it was on the knee and not flattering. Please, M&S, May we have styles like this but midi length!

Lovely dress but too short for me at 5’5”

No, I don't recommend this

Love the colours and style of this dress, though in my opinion it is not low-waisted, but at only 5’5 I still found the dress far too short which made be look square shaped. My daughter has the petite version in a size 8 and it looks fabulous.

Versatile Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love this easy to wear style. You can dress it up and is also great for casual wear. I ordered the next size down because it said it was loose fit and it's just right.

Perfect*

Yes, I recommend this

I have been looking for a dress like this for ages. I love the colours the little strips of velvet. Very in this season and will be my autumn/winter staple item. A bit big but in the right areas could jazz it up with a belt. Well done Marks and Spencer.

While I liked the style the quality of the material is very poor, thin and creased badly. This one has been returned.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

I put on a lot of weight recently so decided to try this dress due to the style. It’s a lovely fit, and hides all the little imperfections. The material feels nice soft,the cut is flattering. The colours are rich. So you can wear different colour shoes & bag with it depending on the occasion. It’s made well. It’s easy to wear. Easy to iron.
