Contrast Striped Trim Textured Bodycon Dress

Lovely dress, however ordered a larger size, glad I did because was a snug fit, however looked really nice and had some compliments as well.

I absolutely love this dress. It's flattering, the perfect length and easy to wear. The only criticism I have is that the sizes are extremely small. I take a size 12 and although I was able to get it on (and off) it would only be ok as long as I didn't want to wear anything underneath or move the sleeves about. I resorted to a 14, which was pretty much perfect (and I'm not a 14 normally).

I bought this dress in a size 14 and a 16 ( I vary between the sizes depending on the fit- this looked like a tight fit so I went for a bigger size just in case). The 14 fitted my body very well, but the arms were so tight I couldn't move and had to be prised out of it by my husband! There was no give in it at all -The 16 was no better, bigger in the body but the arms were just as tight. Like some of the other reviews I found the dress not fit for purpose and I don't know who it is aimed at.

I had a big crush for this dress in store and loved it immediately. I took a size 12 instead of my usual 10 as the dress looked like it would be tight... as a bodycon should be. The shoulder seams were at the right place but that's about the only part of the dress that fitted. The arms were slightly too short, impossible to roll up because the fabric is not stretchy at all, but worst of all, no breast room whatsoever (and I am average). It is also incredibly hard to put on and to take off. Please M&S, make clothes for average body shapes, not for super models....

I really liked the look of this dress in the pictures although I regarded it as a casual/sporty type of dress rather than being "perfect for glamorous evenings" as in the description! The actual item was very disappointing. I know it is a bodycon style but the fit was very odd - very tight in the sleeve (could not push the sleeves up comfortably) and around the hip but very large in the chest area. Sadly I had to return this as it was not a comfortable or flattering fit. A shame because the material is nice and the design in the pictures looked promising.

Thought this dress would be great for work so ordered in my usual size (14). I managed to get in it but it felt like a straight jacket, and was almost impossible to get off. Also it was really short?? way above the knee. I liked it so tried again with a 16. This was too baggy at the top and middle, the neck seemed wonky, was too tight on the hips, but the right length, (below the knee as on the model. Might try another one in the shop to see if there's any difference, as the 14 I ordered was a good 4inches shorter than the 16! Shame as I could have loved it!

This dress looks very stylish and I bought it in a 16. A size 14 often fits, but I went for a 16 for comfort. Despite this, I had to really struggle to get into it, and when I eventually managed it was quite tight and unforgiving. The sleeves, however, were very long. Since this style and colour of dress suits my purpose, I have returned the 16 and ordered an 18 (I have never been anywhere near a size 18 in my life!) in the hope that might fit better. We'll see how that goes!

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it. However, the fabric was not stretchy enough to pull on over my head. After much struggling I got it on and it looked great! Sadly I will be returning it as there is no way that I am going to do battle with this dress before a hard days work. Such a shame!

Tried on a 12 and 14 in this dress. Loved the look of it but it has no give whatsoever, really difficult to get on in the 12, and just a little too tight for my liking, the 14 was better but was huge around the waist. For me the fittings between shoulders hips and waist just weren't proportionate to my shape. Which is a shame because otherwise a lovely stylish dress

As soon as I saw this dress in the shop I loved it. Smart but casual. I tried on size 12 and size 14. The size 14 was a bit big on top so I bought size 12. It is quite body con and once I got it home and tried it again I decided it was just too difficult to get on and off. Once it is on it's really nice but the material is quite stiff with not a lot of give. Sadly I decided to return it.
