Lovely linen dress

Yes, I recommend this

Just love this dress, so comfortable. Knee length is perfect, too old for above the knee. Linen is just right for the hot weather.

Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

Nice dress lucky to get longer length. Wish Marks would do more with the longer length available. Always seem to sell out very quickly. Liked so much also bough coral ditsy print.

More dresses like this please.

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress in ditsy pink, longer length and it is perfect. Sadly you only had the shorter length in this material and it didn’t look so good. Surely the speed with which the longer length sold would tell Marks & Spencer that this length of dress is very popular amongst ladies of a certain age - plus the length of the sleeve which covers up a multitude of sins! It is being sold at a reasonable price too which also helps. PLEASE can you make more longer length dresses with longer short sleeves. The dresses that finish halfway up your thighs are for the younger generation and quite frankly they very seldom shop in M&S!!

No, I don't recommend this

bought the 12 as read reviews. However 12 was very large across the shoulders and the hip was rather tight. Sizing all wrong.

Summer Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I am pleased with the dress and will be keeping it even though it now has 20% off! Despite the description saying “hangs straight from your shoulders” it did not look like a tent but was quite flattering. Regular size came just below the knee.

A Pretty and Comfortable Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Good fabric, fit, style and comfort. What's not to like? Will wear when the good weather returns. Was hoping the grey striped version would be the same but unfortunately it was disappointing.

Size 14 Fits me perfect. I’m 5’3 and vary between a size 14/16. This dress feels comfy, cool and does not cling. It looks both smart and casual.

I loved this frock the moment I put it on. It fits well, the material is good quality as is the construction. I can't wait for the summer, I'm sure that it will be accompanying me on all sorts of different outings.

New style dress

No, I don't recommend this

Was hugely disappointed on opening package. Dress did not look "new". After discussing my alarm with friends I was informed this is the case with linen blend garments After ironing I have kept it, but I need to be convinced that I have made a good choice.. Time will tell.

Cool Style

Yes, I recommend this

An ideal comfortable cool design. I take either a 12 or 14 in M&S tops/cardis and dresses. Both of these sizes were too big for me. Being five foot with curves I am disappointed that this style is not in the petite range, although the regular length was a little long on me I have now ordered the 10. There is no store near me, so have also ordered at least 2 sizes in the other linen dresses of similar styles. Half of my order will be returned, which seems to be the way to shop online with M&S sizing being erratic. A good value product, a classic look but please remember shorter people like the elegance of this style !

Colours too dull for me

Yes, I recommend this

Material and fit fine. I was keen on this style with sleeves and a v-neck, but the grey colour was so dull. Such a shame. All the colours in this style are dull...why not do the sleeveless white floral print in this style. Disappointed & returned.

Looks good

Yes, I recommend this

I haven't worn or washed yet. Like the design. It's a little long for me at 5ft 2in. I did struggle to get it off. I think a zip on one side would help.. not sure how it will come off in the warm weather. Nice as covers tops of your arms.
