Linen Rich Shift Dress
Product code: T526002
About this style
This knee length dress is a versatile, year-round piece, stunning when worn on its own and just as stylish when layered over a turtleneck or a t-shirt. Sitting at knee-length, this shift dress has been made from a linen rich fabric that’s wonderfully breathable and creases less.

No, I don't recommend this
The dress when I ordered it was everything I wanted, however, despite ordering the long length, it was above my knee and as a 72 yr old,and at 5' 10" my days of dresses or skirts above my knee are out. I took this to a local dressmaker to have the hem let down only to find it wasn't a proper hem, however with some tape a false hem was made, and being navy, the join isn't too noticeable. I'm normally a 16/18 size ....I'd previously bought the 16 but found it too tight across the bust. The other problem is the armholes....far too large and any bra I wore was visible both when I walk or sit and lean forward. Had I worn a polo neck underneath it would be too tight again but would cover the bra...Lesson learned, however, I do intend to use it as a pattern for another dress to be made in the same style.

I bought this for holidays. It fits well with no underarm gape . I will team it with a statement neck piece to wear out at night. Comfortable and stylish in one. Bought in sale so good value.

Bought in the sale and what a bargain, will need to take it up as they only had long length but well worth the trouble. Perfect match for a jacket I have, very happy. Have not worn it so not sure how much it will crease or how well it will wash.

I really like the dress but it is cut too low under the arms & shows my bra. As I bought it in the sale for only £7.50 I will keep it but will have to alter it. If I had paid full price, I would have returned it.

I already own five linen dresses including a navy version but I purchased this in the sale for an unbelievable price. How could I say no, to a dress that doesn’t crease, is cool in hot weather and also looks good. I’ve had no problems with the fit under the arms with any of the dresses I’ve purchased and am looking forward to next years linen dresses. Well done to M&S

Since discovering M & S shift dresses I have bought several. They are perfect for hot weather holidays, for day or evening wear. They are so cool and comfortable I love them and this one was reduced, so even better.

I am a size 22 but ordered size 24 which is too big. However, because I bought it in the sale, I have had it altered and it fits perfectly. Great for work or evening. Great bargain.

I really love this dress. It’s very versatile. I ordered the bit bigger size so that I can layer it with warm t shirts or evenna thin jumper underneath. Great for autumn nights

I bought this dress in sale (which was an additional bonus). Bought 'long' and it just comes to my knee (5ft 7in tall) which is perfect. It looks great on and fits well around the neck and arm holes. Very pleased with it.

Bought in online sale.A real bargain. I normally buy a 20 in M&S dresses as I need it across the bust, but the dress was very big, especially around the armholes. The neckline was very nice however and the fabric comfortable.in spite of being a bit too big I’m going to keep it .

A little short for me and armholes massive, which I find if you need a big size, many makes have these huge armholes! Apart from that, it’s a serviceable day time wear

would have loved this but even with longer length it was very very short and I would not have ever worn it so returned.

Lovely material, nice colour and I liked the style but it gaped so much around the arms that I had to return it. Could only have worn it with a cardigan on top.

Practical summer dress

Why are M&S dresses no longer offered in different lengths to take into account that women are different heights? This is a typical example, a dress that should be knee length or just above as shown in the picture is actually 3 inches below my knee (I'm 5ft 3). Of course, the models on line are never less than 5 ft 8. The average woman in the UK is 5ft 4 so come on M&S let's have short, standard & long again and as you offer in jeans. The joke is that this standard length dress is the same length as the petite version! Apart from that it is a good practical light-weight summer dress. The navy is an improvement on the beige which was slightly see-through. It is cool and looks smart and can be dressed up for the evening. Oh, and I got it in the sale...
