Pure Cotton Embroidered Shift Dress

Looks more like a nightie poor quality material photos not accurate

I found the dress a bit small, and was a little tight and high on the neck, so I didn’t find it particularly comfortable, and therefore returned it.

Ok, this is made from really lovely material, love the broderie anglaise detailing and the colour. BUT...it has a very small neck, which, because it flares out at the hem, makes for a less than flattering shape. Made my hips look huge! Doesn't M&S look at the clothing before ordering it? Don't they know anything about how women want to look, or more importantly, how they don't want to look?!?

Bought the white dress in the sale, although it's more off white than white. I still like it. Bought it for next years holiday as not able to go this year through the mad world we are all living in at the moment. Great quality and comfort.

I usually find M & S dresses a bigger fit than the size so I ordered a 14 like always but found this to be a true 14. It's not tight but it does not give me as much room as a few linen dresses I have purchased in the past. Although, saying this it does fit true to size and looks lovely on a summers evening. It is lined so I found it warm and thicker than I imagined but it is still a lovely dress.

Firstly, on a positive note the size 14 fitted well and the length was ideal for me at 5ft 1inch unfortunately, that’s where it ended for me. The material was most unusual, not like any cotton I’ve bought before, it looked like an industrial cotton, more suitable for home furnishings. The colour was also very drab, not a cream and certainly not a white.The dress looked dated, returned immediately, even though it was at a sale price. Disappointed ☹️

Disappointed in this dress. Fit a bit too snug and neckline too high.

I love this dress - it’s versatile, comfortable ,practical and pretty. The fabric is nice and washes well. You can dress it up or down - perfect for during the day and accessorising in the evening

I ordered this a size up because I wanted a loose fit. It just about fits perfectly so I'd say this runs small. The neck opening is also somewhat smaller than usual. Bit confused as to why this is the case. I bought it mainly as a layer to wear underneath a couple other white dresses that are slightly too see-through for my liking so I never intended for this to be a dress in its own right - personally I think it looks too much like underwear and is too short for that. But as a layer it's absolutely fine. Will see if I can get used to the neckline thing.

Colour very yellow ,not pure white,which makes it looks cheap.It looks as though it needs a good wash.

But actually it made me look as though I was wearing a tablecloth. It should have been a lovely dress but not for me. The fabric was thin even though lined it still felt thin. Probably would look great on someone else?

This is a very pretty, flattering dress. Other customers might want to know that it is fully lined, not unlined, as described on the website. I also ordered the similar black broderie anglaise dress with short sleeves and that too is fully lined although it says it is not. M&S should ensure that their descriptions are accurate: as someone who normally does not order anything that is not lined, they may be putting customers off. Unfortunately although I ordered this dress in a long it only came to mid knee and I am not tall, at 5' 4". It was also quite a snug fit overall. So sadly it was returned.
