Brown Check Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered the next size up as per previous reviews and it fits perfectly. I had to have the Petite fitting which is just below my knee, perfect. I am 5’6” tall. Bonus is the dress doesn’t need ironing.

Really soft material that feels lovely against the skin. Surprisingly flattering on a short, plus-size figure. Works great layering with light sleeveless jumpers also. Excellent value for money.

Great simple & flattering style

Yes, I recommend this

I think this is a lovely easy to wear dress, soft and silky. It is quite flattering with the slight folds over the tummy area and drop waist. I went up a size after reading reviews and I'm glad I did. The petite length is perfect on me at 5'1". I wish there was a choice of colours maybe green or blue, as although I love the brown it doesn't really suit me. So I'm still debating whether to keep it or return. More dresses in this style please M&S.

Nice dress

Yes, I recommend this

The dress is quite thin material, this is not a complaint as another person had already commented. It looks good on. I bought a size 14 as size 12 had sold out, also somebody said the dress came up a bit on small size. I also bought petite. I am 5ft 4”. The dress was perfect for me.

Love the colours of this dress.

Yes, I recommend this

Quite flattering due to the folds on the tummy area. Soft material, which makes it very comfortable can dress up with jewellery or down with Jacket and boots. Good price.

Very on trend pattern and colours

Lovely dress that could be dressed up or dressed down. Just a bit too tight across the bust for me therefore I returned it. Managed to get bigger size in store and I love it

Well made

Ordered usual size 12 but a little tight fitting. Exchanged for 14 & much better fit with good length of sleeve.

No, I don't recommend this

Fabulous dress- on trend

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is bang on trend, is true to size and is well lined. The sleeves are not lined and the material is quite thin, but that is the look and it doesn’t matter because the dress has some wool in it so is warm enough.

Quality Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love this dress. It’s fully lined and cut so it drapes beautifully ensuring a flattering fit. The material is very soft and almost crease proof. I’d have given it 5 stars, but had to size up from my usual size 12 to a 14.

At last, a dress with shape and style

Yes, I recommend this

So good to have a dress with a shape and style rather than the baggy ones of the last year or two. The material is soft with some stretch and is warm. It feels so good on. I’ll wear it for lots of different occasions. I’m very pleased with it.

Very flattering cut

I bought this beautiful dress because I like the gorgeous chequed pattern thatbis very "in"at the moment and because the " draping" in the lower middle hides my slightly bulging tummy.
