Style without substance

Cheap fabric. Very poorly stitched. Seams wobbly. Lovely style - but fit large. With different fabric and better attention to the making could have been a nice dress!

I liked the look and style of the dress so keeping in mind about the neck opening being a bit to large I ordered in a size 10 instead of a 12 thinking it would fit better around the neck but alas no, it is still what I would call gaping so I think I’m going to send back...Shame, as the rest of the dress fits lovely...

I’d bought this in store so was surprised to spot it later as being on line only and also that it’s listed as petite... I’m not ! ..but it’s just below the knee on me . I really like the shape of the dress and it drapes nicely . Comfortable and easy to wear .. pretty beads do help set it off .

Very disappointed with this dress. It looked ok on the hanger but very frumpy looking when I tried it on. The length was ok as I am only 5ft 2ins but looked terrible otherwise. Just didn't do me any favours style wise. The bust seemed a bit tighter than I would prefer so sadly have to return it.

Dress was a very dull colour. I prefer a linen mix, maybe with viscose. Plain linen creases and goes baggy.

Medieval pauper's dress

Although I am not too keen on midi length i thought i would give it a try. What a disappointment! It was shapeless and the pockets flopped - they were too big for the dress. I thought I looked perfect for one of the paupers in a medieval television production. I am fare from a lean, well shaped size 12 but there was ample room for me had I been a stone heavier!

I am not really "petite" being 5' 6" but I am short waisted so this fits beautifully and hangs well, reaching to mid-calf. My only criticism is that it is a little low in the neck but it's definitely a keeper for me.

Good fit but even petite still long. Material doesn’t crease. Colour bit bland. Would like an alternative colour

I love this dress - type I used to wear, but cannot find the right fit. It is a bit on the large size & for a petite fit, it is low at the front showing cleavage, but I will wear with a camisole. PLEASE MORE PETITE FIT!!

I didn't realise it was petite when I bought it. I'm 5' 4" and fitted me very well. Love the loose fit round the hips. At long last decent dresses from M & S. I bought two other linen dresses at the same time.

Really liked the fabric and style of this dress. Good quality and would be a great summer staple. Unfortunately the fit was more like a regular fit not petite fit so had to return as it was to big.

Everyday, easy to wear summer dress

Liked the dress and easy style and although Petite size was still a little big. The pockets really "bugged" me as I preferred them to be aligned to vertical stripe. I have, however now altered them to my liking and added a belt and am now quite happy.

I love this dress it is perfect for me, the size 8 fits well. My lower half sizing is normally 10, but as the fit below the waist is a little fuller, it is just right for me. The material is lovely, but anyone who doesn't like the slightly crumpled look its probably not one for them.

Loved the material and shape, but why such a low neckline.Because I liked the dress have worked out a way to insert a hand made bib to insert and hide my cleavage.

Loved the dress but not for me

I would have loved to have kept this dress but unfortunately did not flatter my figure. The front was far too low and the waist made me look very generous round the middle, so not for me unfortunately. However the style and quality was very good.

Length Problem
Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)
Yes, I recommend this
I love the colour and loose fit, but found the neckline an inch too low. My issue is with the length. With a petite person, proportion is incredibly important and I found this way too long to make me look anything other than dumpy and shapeless (as I’m not slim and perfect like the model), but after pinning the hem up by 3 inches it transformed the whole look. At 5’2”, I’m at the top end of petite so I would recommend trying this before sending it back.

Not petitie enough

I love this dress, it's classic in great fabric - but the fit falls down in one aspect - the V-neck is too low cut for someone who is very short, and this is a dress designed for someone very short - petite. I've noticed that several petite dress have this problem - I always either have to return the dress or find a way to make the neckline appropriate - perhaps M&S could note this for the future.
