Silk Velvet is a delicate fabric

This is a beautiful dress in great quality fabric, the kind of thing M&S excels at. I have read the other reviews about the.fabric beimg damaged etc but this is the nature of silk velvet, it can be fragile and the velvet pile is prone to 'flattening' in places. I use a gentle steam from the inside of the garment to rectify this. Cotton velvet is much more durable but not nearly as soft or drapey.

Lovely dress but fragile material

Very pleased with fit, colour and style of dress and look of material but it arrived (click and collect) damaged as the metal hook of the hanger had dug into the silky velvet pile and marked it badly and permanently. Was told the dress is online only, so no chance of getting an unmarked one in store. Sadly had to return it..Packing needs to take special requirements of delicate fabric into account.

Gorgeous Material

I Bought this as a last minute purchase for Christmas Day - it was lovely to wear on the day, but I am considering returning the item, as the material has not held up well, ie there are a couple of marks that looks like the material velvet has worn off

Has a lovely feel but marks easily. Buy larger rather than smaller size. It was longer than I expected but that's fine, and I found it very flattering.

Fit problem
Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)
I've given this dress 4 stars as I think the fit problem might be my problem and not that of the dress. I'm 5'2" and the bodice was much too long from shoulder to waist. Also the waist was tighter than it looked on the photo so it couldn't slip allowing the bodice to fit. However, beautiful fabric and shoulder and neck design so someone taller could look stunning in it.

The dress fabric was bruised and damaged in transit. The fit was small over the hips.

So strange the different reviews for this dress. I loved it was very simple but with some lovely touches such as the gathering at the shoulders. Colour was really nice and the dress well made. Did not think the dress came up big and I loved the length, very elegant. Brought the wide trousers in the same fabric, lovely too

This was a lovely dress,gorgeous material and colour but was a really tight fit. Such a pity. Would need to order at least one bigger size.

Nice soft material so dry clean only! If you’re a tall person, it would look nicer. For me, nice fit but looks more like a maxi dress and little bit unflattering. So decided to return.

I really liked the look of this dress and ordered it Online when it was on offer at £79. Unfortunately I feel the size 10 dress may have fitted me better in a Petite. Being a pear shape the hip area was snugger than I’d be comfortable wearing. Also when trying on I immediately noticed the velvet material had a small crushed area in the middle of the chest area. On inspection I think it was from the pressure from the zipper at the back of the dress and a cause of unsympathetic packaging for the material.Sadly I returned this lovely dress.

Sent this back. The droopy, featureless waistband plain style looked home made. If it does nothing for the model in the photo you can imagine how frumpy it looks on a real person. The velvet was more purple and less stripey than the picture appears.
