Lovely dress, good fit except for arm length

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely dress. Well made, true to size on body. But arms too long. I am 5ft 3” and have had to turn up sleeves by 2.5”. Adds nice colour as wine coloured ,ining but hems show. However would recommend as comfy, as well as stylish. Please M&S, sleeve lengths on many items too long for normal mortals!

Disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

Loved this dress, as usual bought a size 22 but it was far too tight, so ordered a size 24, that was too tight. When I compared one against the other, there was only about 1cm difference in the sizes. So both were returned.

myne4w dress

Yes, I recommend this

I had been looking for a suitable dress for the winter. This is the only one I liked in the store, the others either had cheap material, or were not what I considered warm. This had everything going for it and when I tried it at home it was I was looking for and I am very pleased

Poor machining

No, I don't recommend this

Seam across middle of dress where pockets are was not sewn in a straight line with one pocket being higher than the other. On a dress with a check pattern it looked absolutely terrible.

Don’t try unless you have stick thin arms

No, I don't recommend this

Maybe I should have sized up. However, I usually take a 10 in M&S dresses. Unfortunately my arms squeezed into the sleeves like sausages. I do quite a lot of gym work and have muscle definition but my arms are not particularly large. Just the wrong dimensions for me I guess.

A little disappointed...

No, I don't recommend this

I had the same issue as other reviews...I got this dress in both checked and black, and annoyingly both completely different fits. The checked dress seemed tighter and a lot shorter than the black dress. Such a shame as I really loved the look of these dresses. The black one hangs and lacks shape around the waist, the checked dress is tight and short... Not worth buying unfortunately, I will be returning.

New work dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love the dress overall, only comment would be that slightly tight on the hips for the top to fit nicely, but very comfy and smart for work with a black blazer.

Dress for autumn

No, I don't recommend this

Tried my usual size - top fitted perfectly, too tight round hips. Exchanged for larger size - top far too big, too loose round hips. Returned

Although I loved this dress, I found it came up rather small and had to be returned. Another dress I bought from MS was absolutely beautiful. Pity the sizing isn’t more reliable

Lovely dress but not long enough

No, I don't recommend this

My Mam wanted a dress for a funeral and saw this. We ordered online and she loved it except it was short in the length. It sits above the knee.
