Pure Cotton Gingham Slip Maxi Dress

I picked this up in the sale, and unfortunately could only get a size smaller than I usually take, which made it a bit too tight at the bust although rest of dress was fine. It was well made, plenty of material and I would have kept it had it been slightly bigger. Perfect for recent hot weather or holidays.

Bought in the sale so a reasonable price. The dress is a perfect fit for me as a standard M&S rather busty s14 and ideal for the hot weather. It's a lightweight gingham cotton and lined in lightweight white cotton, so not too heavy. The straps are wide which I prefer for everyday being of near pensionable age! The only fault that the straps really do need to be self-lined or, at least, in the white cotton lining fabric. Will have to see how it washes

I really liked this dress when I saw it in the shop but when I orderd it online and tried it on at home it wasn't the right fit for me. It was too long and the style didn't suit my figure. it was a shame as it was a lovely dress but had to return it.

Lovely dress but too big on bodice. So returned it and ordered next size down. The style and material are lovely.

It is a lovely dress but not available in “short” fittings. I spent ages unpicking the frilll so that I could shorten the skirt without interfering with the pretty embroidery. I also agree that the straps would have looked - and probably stayed in place better - with double or lined straps. Good value in the sale though!

Love this pretty print, dress is extremely flattering, nice to wear and stylish. Just enough length to not drag on the floor, can be styled up or down in the summer depending on the occasion.

Comes up really big. I understand meant to be flowing but top was way too big, straps wouldn’t stay up when bought in usual size

I saw this dress in a blog piece about gingham. I ordered, tried & loved it. can't wait to wear in some sunshine! Light dress, with a lightweight lining, feels like great quality. Flattering design, I bought the tall and it fits my long 5'11 body. So pleased.

Charming dress, fitted me very well but what let it down was the straps which were made of single piece of gingham material, which when wearing it would not look smart. It let down a beautiful dress. In my experience of dress making the material of straps should be material folded to make a strap so that there is double thickness and the strap would then retain a smartness and quality to the garment. I was greatly disappointed.

I loved this navy blue gingham dress. Very nicely made and embroidered. However, it did not suit me at all, so I will be returning it. I think it reminded me of my younger days.......!!! But on the right person it could be fab..
