Beautiful dress, lovely shade, comes up big

Yes, I recommend this

I was attracted to the colour, it’s very wearable and cheery, I ordered down one size and I am glad I did, it is supposed to be big but my true size would have been enormous. The bead feature at the front is nice and it’s very comfortable - cannot wait to wear it.

Lovely dress 🥰

Yes, I recommend this

Great dress, love the length , the style, the colour and it hangs beautifully! I have a similar autograph dress from last year in navy blue silky material, and loved it so much I look for the same design constantly ( I always get compliments about it ) . Another premium store has a similar cut to this dress in cream at £300 so with my 20% off it was a no brainer . Can’t wait to wear on holiday. M&S please bring this dress out in other colours / premium materials - a real classic gem .

Gorgeous colour

Yes, I recommend this

Really lovely dress, such a gorgeous colour and the material feels lovely. Would say it is way too large even for the flowing style, I’m usually a size 18 and dropped down to a 14 in this and think I could maybe have gone to a 12. Length is really long too, I’m 5’9” and it’s ok but if you are shorter would maybe need taking up. Overall really love it, especially the pockets.

Loved this dress

Yes it is on the larger side and down sizing is recommended. Plus on me at 5’6” it is ankle length, but the colour is beautiful and the shoulder straps are positioned just right with a good thickness to cover bra straps AND pockets. What is there not too like?

Great Dress

Lovely dress but comes up very roomy and long. I’m 5.6 and a size 14/16 and I kept a standard size 10. Fits perfectly but very long just above my ankles which I don’t mind. Beautiful colour and very good quality for the price

Beautiful and Elegant Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I am delighted with this gorgeous dress. I am a 16 and, having read other reviews, ordered the 14, which is a perfect fit. I love the colour, weight of fabric and simple but stunning elegance of this summer dress. I’m in love!

Great dress but sizing is way off

Yes, I recommend this

Great summer dress, beautiful quality, can wear a bra with it and the straps don’t show and the colour is beautiful: deep and cool. But I am 16 long in everything M&S and I got the dress in 12 Regular. I am 5’9 and it covers my ankles

Lovely summery dress

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous raspberry colour, sized down to a 10 when in reality I am size 14, far too long needs at least 6/7 inches taken off the bottom to make it regular, at least I can sew otherwise I would have sent it back, having said that I love it, it is an easy wearing summer dress with the addition of pockets and just looks good, definitely not the ordinary run of the mill dress.

Generous Cut

No, I don't recommend this

It is a lovely colour and the beaded detail on the neck line is attractive but it is an enormous billowing cut. It would be a good summer maternity dress. I am returning it.

Perfect dress for holiday

Yes, I recommend this

This dress does come up very large - I am a 12+ and I started with a 14 and worked my way down to a 10. It is beautifully cut, wonderful linen and lovely that it is the more gentle raspberry colour rather than post box red. I love it.

Quality dress

Yes, I recommend this

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. I'm size 16 and busty, I bought the 14 and it fits perfectly, I honestly think maybe the 12 would fit. The colour is true to the online image it hangs really well. At 5'4" I wanted the short but it was out of stock so I bought the regular. Be warned, it's a true maxi. I can sew and will need to shorten by about three inches. I love this dress and know I'll get lots of wear out of it.

Fun, comfortable, stylish

Yes, I recommend this

Really lovely fabric, heavy enough to give good movement, light enough for summer. Colour true deep raspberry (and usually I only go for cherry red), this will be so comfortable to wear at home or out (I've stopped worrying about flabby upper arms.) And POCKETS! I chose to change the perfectly acceptable bead decoration to a, to me, nice faux mother-of-pearl button and doing thast dmeonstrasted how well made it is! Took ages to unpick necessary stitches.
