Love this dress

Yes, I recommend this

It's a keeper. It feels great on and fits well. It's the sort of dress you can safely wear to work and accessorise for cocktails afterwards! I love it.

Black Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely dress but too short. Previously order s similar dress in the same size which was a perfect fit, but this one was too small. Unfortunately, had to return as larger size and longer length sold out.

Lovely versatile dress

Yes, I recommend this

I was surprised at the excellent quality of this dress for the very reasonable price. The dress is well made, lovely comfy fabric which isn't too clingy and has a very flattering fit. I'm 5'4" and it sits just on the knee. I can see this dress getting a lot of outings as it would suit lots of occasions - smart or casual. So pleased I ordered this!

Great casual dress

Yes, I recommend this

This is a great find! The material is nice and soft, the dress is a perfect length - it hits just above my knees. The sleeves cover my upper arms. I wore it to work with black tights, boots, and some jewellery. I could see pairing it with sandals, or trainers and a Jean jacket too. It lives up to the name swing dress. The fit off the hanger is actually a bit on the large side. I normally take a 16-18, and would buy this again in a 14 to get a more fitted look in the torso.

Black easy dress

My daughter was wearing this particular dress when she visited us. She found it easy to wear and good for the hot weather. I totally agree with her. Good choice all round.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

The fabric was heavy weight and drapey. I ordered my normal size 8 but found it too big everywhere, even the arms. I was very disappointed as it was just what I was looking for. Sadly returned.

Sales are swinging

Yes, I recommend this

A summer bargain bought in haste as it was the last one in my size. It will be ideal for pulling over my leggings and vest post gym and going for a coffee in. I would say the material is thin compared to some dresses I own.but adequate. What does one expect of a dress that is priced at less than a t shirt?

Pleased but disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

Lovely dress, fitted very well BUT..... too short. I’m 5’5”, aged 71, and chose ‘regular’ fit as I always do. This, and the three other dresses I chose, all had hemlines ABOVE my knees - not a good look at my age! As I chose regular length for all four dresses, are you indicating that the average women’s height has shrunk since I last bought a regular length dress from yourselves? Loved the dresses, hated the length and feel I can no longer rely on M & S for reliability of fit. Disappointed loyal M & S customer.

Suitable dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this for a funeral. Tried a size 12 and a size 14. Went with the 12, as the 14 was, to my surprise, a couple of inches shorter in length.

Wardrobe essential

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is fantastic value for money. It fits beautifully and the design is particularly flattering for celebrated voluptuous shapes! Dress it up or down for evenings or work. I wear it on it's own or teamed with bold colored wide legged trousers with statement jewellery or a vibrant scarf depending on the occasion.

Useful little black dress

Yes, I recommend this

Ordered on line size 14 and a 16, I am usually between the two sizes with M &S recently. The 14 is a very good fit. I am 5ft. 3ins. The dress just sits below the knees. I love it and for the price of £15 better than expected. More like this in other colours please. However please sort out your sizing, I have tops and sweaters in sizes 12, 14 and 16, very disappointing when having to send back after ordering on line.

More longer length ones please !

Yes, I recommend this

Great value dress for the shorter customer, as if you are over 5'5" the only dresses left for sometime have been the regular. Not everyone wants to flash their knees ! I would be more than happy to pay an extra few pounds for the extra 2 inches on the hem. It's a great dress and wardrobe staple as it can be dressed up or down. The sleeve length is a good idea as it can we worn in the warmer months and with a cardigan come the winter. Hope someone from the buying team read this.
