Nearly perfect but need to try another size

Beautiful cobalt blue dress, bought a standard size eight, but I'm a bit underweight at the moment and its hanging poorly around the bust, a proper bra would help BUT the arm holes are quite low and all my boosting bras are therefore visible under the arm...scouring M&S either for a bright blue bra to match or one with such a low cut side panel that it isn't an issue...sadly the bralettes that meet the second instance don't boost my bust to help the drape, and no matching bras available...so ordering a size 6 dress which will hopefully resolve the issue but wasn't available when I first ordered. Otherwise a very easy to wear style that flatters my slight frame but covers the boney/stringy bits. Bought for a wedding in mid October when I hope it will be cool enough to wear as I couldn't bear to wear this polyester in recent summer heat. The fabric looks ideal for packing for travel to wedding, where my normal taste for natural fibres would result in a crumpled mess.

Not the usual M & S quality

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I tried 3 different dresses on and all fitted differently and one I couldn’t get over my bottom as the zip didn’t go down far enough. Length is great. All had a different level of fraying around the neckline and sleeves not sure if this is how it’s supposed to look

Stylish but tight

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

The most stunning cobalt blue colour. I’m a bit annoyed with myself that I didn’t try the bigger size as it’s more fitted on my stomach and bust than is ideal but I love the wide shoulder (good for evening out proportions on 5’2 people like me) and the petite length is just right. There’s no wrinkles if you stand or sit and it is definitely something I’d wear for smart occasions or maybe even to the office. The material has a nice flow but doesn’t breathe as well as cotton might (but probably looks more expensive for it).

Well, the dress is a beautiful colour and the material is fine. I usual purchase a size 14 from M and S but in this instance I'd be lucky to fit into a size 18!!!! Very disappointed. Difficult to understand where M and S got the sizing from on this dress

Classy dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

This dress is classic, excellent quality and looks great and it feels good on. I’ve worn it straight away with a bright cardi and felt a good. I did order my usual size but it came up small I couldn’t even get the zip up, I should have read the reviews as other customers also found it small. I ordered the next size and it fit perfectly. Great dress.

I love the colour of this dress but sadly I had to return as it was too tight across the bust line and sadly cannot get the next size due to out of stock- please M & S respond to my reorder soon.

I saw this dress online and loved the colour. Wasn’t sure what size to get and went for a size 12. It fits but is a little snug!

I bought this dress in cobalt blue. It is beautifully cut and looks really expensive on. I wore it for a work event which was a mix of sitting and standing and it didn’t crease. Fantastic value

I really do not like this dress. Whilst the top is a good fit the skirt has too much material which just hangs in a shapeless mess
