Girls' Pure Cotton Gingham School Dress (2-14 Yrs)

Material and style are fab. They may have recently changed the sizing as there’s a huge difference in ages 11-12 and 12-13 for my tall, slim 9yr old! I buy these every year as the others just don’t fit her well and look age appropriate. She has been able to do the buttons for a while now as they’re big enough to grip and the holes between the buttons don’t gape. These dresses cost a lot for what they are but I have to pay it to be happy sending her to school smartly dressed.

Good frock for school going kids. It looks good on kids

Great quality dress. I struggle to get dresses to fit my daughter because she’s so small but this is perfect!

Cute look , light and soft fabric

This dress is everything i was looking for. Nice large pockets, soft material, roomy and flowy so perfect for summer. Nice style as well.

Super soft and great quality. Wish I’d have bought M&S dresses last year

Lovely summer school dress. Nice fabic and good fit.

Great material, style is really good but the dress is way too long.

I buy this dress every year as it is the only pure cotton option. I wish it was organic cotton. The dress shrinks a lot! To the extent you need to go up one to two sizes. It 100% will need a thorough iron every time. I find whether line or tumble dried it is astonishingly wrinkled after washing. I wish the lace detailing was on top of the dress rather than attached to the end of the sleeve. It is pretty, but we are buying a pure cotton dress due to sensitive skin. I’m going to keep buying this as it is the only pure cotton option but the dress could use some serious tweaks. It is pretty and comfortable according to my daughter.

I usually buy uniform from Sainsbury's but when I last looked every item had been treated with teflon. I was happy to find these pure cotton dresses which also stated that they were PFA free! They do take a bit of ironing but I'd much rather that! Thank you M&S

Nice school dress but really fiddly to iron. Creases easily but looks really smart for school

Bought a twin pack last year from M&S, they were great. These new ones only have 3 buttons instead of 4, and the bottom one always comes undone. Once washed and ironed well still looks creased! Stick with the easy iron

My daughter likes this as it doesn’t have a tie at the back like a lot of school summer dresses. Only downside is that it’s not easy iron.

This is one of very few options that is natural and not processed with forever chemicals. Sadly majority of people seem to demand the easy care and stain proof textiles, which are made by adding polyester and soaking fabrics in bad chemicals like teflon. This demand pushes the natural fabrics out of the market. I wish more people did research on how the micro plastics and PFAS will affect your health in the long run. Please bring on more pure cotton uniform options! I don’t mind ironing and washing the clothes, I want my kids to grow up healthy.
