A lovely dress that can be jazzed up or down in a soft cool cotton.

Made of lovely breathable cotton, this dress will be a casual staple in my wardrobe the rest of the summer. You can size down in this dress depending on how flowy you'd like it to be

25 July 2026Marks quality gone down

Frill like wings

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

This fits well, hangs nicely - not voluminous like some others. I would prefer flat or ruched shoulder strap (width is lovely to wear a bra without showing). The frills stick up because of the material and I don't think it's a great look. I may get them altered. Overall a great holiday dress, easy to pack, cool. Good for day trip or dress up with jewellery for the evening. Some more colours would be nice.

Lovely dress I got the petite length it’s a really nice fit. Very light weight with the warm weather. Looks good with Doc Marten sandals as a casual day dress. I also got the brown polka dot.

The dress was nice but very basic for the price . Sent back as I felt it would be a nightmare to iron when washed.

Nice and simple dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Lovely dress for the heatwave which can be dressed up quite easily. I wish it came in a longer length as I wanted it to be floor skimming but that’s my fault for not measuring. I gave it four stars as the straps/detailing around neck and arms is quite uncomfortable as the material feels rough.

Had to cut the bottom off to make it knee length which is much better and cooler now. Very comfortable cotton in this hot weather
