Long in the bodice

No, I don't recommend this

Beautiful material but unfortunately too long in the bodice for me. The elasticated part rode up and was very uncomfortable. Sadly i returned this dress.

Comfy Dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is very comfortable to wear, a good length as I am tall, fabric is nice, the collar is very large, but I guess this a fashion thing, as I personally would prefer it smaller, the shirring does ride up a little which is slightly annoying, but overall I am very pleased with it.

This was a perfect fit and a very lovely dress., I removed the tie bow at the front, and it did not look too young. Very pretty and cool material, lots of compliments when wearing it.

Love the style

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

It took ages to deliver, got it on store collection which was a very easy process. Ordered petite but find it still long on the torso. I like the dress so rather than returning i altered it so it will fit comfortably. Liked the puffer sleeves & the collar.

Versatile dress

Yes, I recommend this

Versatile dress to wear in spring with shoes or boots but will carry me through summer with sandals & trainers. Ordered the tall length. At 5 10’ some M&S dresses or skirts in standard can look a bit mumsy/worky on me. I’d like to see more available in tall.
