Girls' Plus Fit Pleated Pinafore

I was pleased to find a pinafore to fit my tall and broad 7 year old. I brought the age 11-12 which fits her well, although it was no wider on the waist and no more roomy than others she already has from elsewhere. I agree with other reviewers that the zip really needs to be longer as my daughter has a real struggle to put her arms in. The dress is great quality and doesn't need to be ironed which is a bonus. It would be great if M&S made this dress in larger sizes (with a longer zip) as age 11-12 is the biggest they do and my daughter still has over 3 years left at primary school!

Bought this for my granddaughter and once on her the length was good and plenty room but it was difficult to get her arms through the arm holes! No good for PE etc . If the front zip was longer this may not be a problem

I struggled a lot with my daughters school uniform as she’s only 4 but quite tall, broad and has a bit of a tummy. The regular 7-8 pinafore was far too tight for her but in the plus size has so much more room, a nice length, very comfortable, washes well and I find if I hang it up properly when washed it is almost crease free. Will be buying from this range again

Extra room across middle too make it more comfortable @ plenty room for movement nice quality washes well @ back to shape

Had to return the pinafore as even though the plus fit was great fit around tummy it was too big at shoulders unfortunately

I ordered this as my granddaughter needed a bit more space around the waist. Fits perfectly and she likes the zip at the front, makes it easier to get dresses after PE etc. Nice fabric.

I have a chunky granddaughter and so I ordered your plus size pinafores in three different sizes. What a disappointment. The tops of these dresses are the same as your regular dresses making them very difficult to put on. Once on all were too tight NOT plus size. You do need to get your sizing right.

Very pleased with this pinafore dress. A bit more than I was planning to pay but worth it. Looks very smart and excellent quality

Bought two sizes to get the right fit. The size 7-8 was perfect so will return the larger one for exchange. Excellent material for creases and stains which will assist greatly in laundry care.

Pinafore bought for World Book Day Costume, so only worn for one day - but daughter from it very comfy and said she preferred it to her current school uniform (kilt). Fit was great as she is a chunkier athletic build. She is 2 months off 11 years and needed the 9-10 years.
