Stunning dress gorgeous colour!

Yes, I recommend this

I am devastated about this dress, I ordered a size larger going on the reviews and it was too big so I had to return it, sadly the size down is out of stock, and I purchased the exact colour shoes to match in raspberry pink, devastated. It is a thick material but in my opinion it hides a multitude of sins and the length was perfect for me. Aaaaahhhhhhh! Sob! Sob!

Smart dress for the right body

Yes, I recommend this

The star ratings reflect that this is a lovely dress but needs someone with exactly the right shape - on me it was a very poor fit and the stiffness of the fabric made it look as though the dress was wearing me, not vice versa. It's a lovely vibrant (but not shocking or neon) pink and the sleeves and zip pockets are great. Worth a try - I was sorry to have to return mine.

Fantastic style

Yes, I recommend this

I loved the style of this pretty dress but unfortunately didn't like the actual material, it looked a bit like crimplene. Sorry M&S but the design was spot on for me, the fabric was very stiff though. Would love it in all cotton.

Pink Peril.

No, I don't recommend this

I can't believe the reviews. This dress is truly awful. the fit is poor, the material is dreadful, hard and too synthetic.The style is great but the rest is truly shocking, the worst item I have bought on line. GOING BACK.

Strange colour?

No, I don't recommend this

Bought this online and thought it was a more delicate candy pink colour. When it arrived it's far more orange and the fabric isn't great. All in all disapointed and will be returning this one.

Have to try it on to decide for yourself

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered the dress then read reviews and was apprehensive that it would not fit, as some said small fit. I found it to be a true size 14 and I do have quite broad shoulders. The material is thick but I think this adds to the style of the dress. Going to wear with black tights and patent heels in the winter and will wear in summer with cream high heeled sandles. I think this would make a good wedding outfit with the right accessories. Also would like to add amazing value for money at £45.

Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

I saw this dress in the shop and had to buy it immediately. It's a really great combination of colour and pattern. The fabric has a good quality thickness too it which means this is a very forgiving design, it hides lumps and bumps without feeling too hot and heavy. I'm 5ft 7 and I tried on the standard and the long, but the standard fitted better because I am short in the body. I find M&S sizes on the generous side I'm a size 14-16 and this dress in size 14 fits well with plenty of room to breath! I also bought a pink cardigan which goes perfectly with this.

pink spring dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love this dress as it is a little different in a gorgeous colour. I like the material as it makes it unusual. I got a lovely pink jacket from M&S to go with it. Will be great for spring. I expected size 12 to fit and it did.

Too big

Yes, I recommend this

As always M and S dresses sizes are bigger on me. I am normally a size 12, and the 10 would be fine if I was wearing it to stand around posing, but I would want to wear it dancing. The 12 is too big and unflattering. Ideally, I need a size 11. Its good however, that it comes in 3 sizes as I am fed up of dresses being above the knee, and at nearly 52, nobody wants to see my knees!

Gorgeous colour

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely fabric and colour. Very thick fabric so I thought it would skim, rather than cling, to my larger body. Style came up small. I am usually a 20/22 and always size up to a 22 in styles like this but it was way too tight and the shoulder/arm shape was not good on me either. This particular dress I would suggest is better on the slimmer customer

Lovely colour but poor fit!

No, I don't recommend this

Ordered in a size 8. Loved the colour and design of this dress but came up very large. Please Marks could you make more of your stock available in a size 6, as you do tend to make things on the large side and it's no help for us smaller ladies. The fabric was also very heavy so not sure how well it would have hung if fitted.

Vibrant

Yes, I recommend this

The color is fantastic and the cut is very good. The fabric could have been somewhat softer with perhaps some stretch thrown in. It does run slightly small. I ordered in my normal size and it does fit but is a little snug. This color, however, which is hard to come by in business or daytime dresses, at least here in the US, makes it a winner. The cut is also perfect in that it is ladylike but young. I want to give it five stars but I will withhold one since the fabric might have been improved upon with a little softness by virtue of some stretch. I do however, adore the dress and am sure to wear it often. Can't wait for Spring!!

Pink fizz

Yes, I recommend this

i saw this dress advertised on a poster in store . I loved the bright pink it's gorgeous so I ordered it. I love everthing about the dress except the fit, its very snug. I ordered a standard size 18 , but it fits like a 16, and looks tight. Its tightness is around the bust and hips. I have decided to keep it as the dress is too bright to wear now and rather than buy a larger size i will lose afew pounds,and wear it in spring . I just hope the shoulders dont look to big then .
