Not a drop waist!!!!

No, I don't recommend this

I should have seen by the pic that this is most definitely not a dro waist. Strange sizing,top a bit small but bottom half,below the waist,is huge

Comfortable dress

Yes, I recommend this

I like this although I'm not sure why it's described as drop waist. I bought a smaller size after reading some of the reviews but it's a bit snug so would say it's probably true to size. Lovely with boots for the winter.

Great dress for all occasions!

Yes, I recommend this

I was thrilled with this! Being 5ft & busty I find it hard to find dresses that don’t make me look fat or pregnant! This is so comfy & very pretty!! I’ve loved all my M&S dresses this last season ( I have 4 )

Super comfortable.

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is so comfortable to wear. It can be teamed with leggings and chelsea boots or worn with flat bed sandals. Loose fitting and flowing, it hides all those lumps and bumps gliding over the top seamlessly. I think this would be flattering for all shapes and sizes. The material is warm but light and breathable, I absolutely love this dress and wear it for work regularly and have nothing but compliments. I have this colour and the red one, if more colours come back in stock i would buy those too.

Cute Dress!

Yes, I recommend this

Loved the style and nice soft material. Casually worn with burgundy opaque tights and ankle boots and felt good. Haven't washed yet so can't comment on that but at £18 in sale not expecting too much.

A great dress for all occasions

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered this dress in a 14 and it came up quite big so I ordered the smaller size which fitted perfectly. I’m between a 12-14 so went for the larger option which was a generous size due to style. Looks great with thick tights and boots it’s a thin material so need to wear something underneath or a warm cardigan on top

OK over jumpers

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this to wear over leggings, maybe with a thin jumper underneath. Much bigger than size label suggests, by 2 sizes at least, but I can wear it over thicker jumpers. Wish M&S would standardise dimensions within sizes!

Very poor quality

No, I don't recommend this

I love the colours in this dress and the fit is relaxed but flattering. However, the quality of the dress is terrible. I wore it once and washed it as per the washing instructions. On ironing it, I discovered holes had formed on the seams of the collar, the front pocket and the skirt pockets. When I examined the reverse side of the dress, the pockets were raw on the edges with countless threads hanging from them. I expect much more of M and S products, and this one will most certainly be returned for a refund.

This has to be the ugliest dress I’ve ever tried on, so disappointed, really wanted this dress, thought it would be great staple. Sorry but no idea who this would suit.

Just not for me

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is described as a drop waist design but it is actually a high waist on it. The length was too short for the style so the dress was out of proportion. I think a longer skirt would have been a better balance with the top half being so short and the style so loose. As it was it just made me look short and wide so I had to return it.
