Nice beach dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Bought this as it looked lightweight and thought it would be great on top of swimwear. It was heavier than I thought that it would be but a good length and quality. It sits higher at the neck than I would have wanted but straps are adjustable so may be able to lower it a bit. Will see how I get on with it when on holiday

Lovely dress, has pockets which is a bonus, it comes to the floor which might be too long for some.

Lovely - I have in black. Really good quality and elegant style. In the heat I did find it a bit hot but will be perfect for normal summer temps!

easy wear linen, not as soft as I had hoped, kept the cream for summer and returned the black as it looked a bit cheap and collected fluff

I ordered 3 dresses, all three are so pretty and fit perfectly. I am really pleased and impressed with M&S. This is another super fit which is very flattering on and makes me figure look great. I’m 5ft 6” size 14 and it fits perfectly.

Fabulous Holiday Dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

I purchased this dress for my holiday & it’s been my favourite. I had to down size & selected the petite which is a perfect length for my 5’ 2” frame. I can easily wear flip flops or heels. I love the weight of the fabric, it’s very swishy & has pockets too. Only tiny niggle is the straps are difficult to adjust being quite thin. Overall I’m very pleased.

Lovely dress, yet to wear it to see how much it creases - but you expect that when you buy linen. Thin, I bought the black one, I imagine with other colours you may see through it. Good length

Nice dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I have looked at this dress for ages, I really did not need another black dress. I decided to order it with a discount to satisfy my curiosity. It is lovely material, perfect length (short petite), has pockets and sits well. I love it and cannot wait for better weather so I can wear this lovely dress.
