Beautiful summer dress

Incentivised review originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely summer dress that has received lots of compliments! I ordered the tall length as I’m 5 ft 8, and it’s an idea length - still mini but nice coverage. Good quality linen, has washed well so far.

Lovely but see through. No lining.

No, I don't recommend this

Love the dress but it is translucent and linen without lining. It's difficult to make it wearable to many places.

Saw this dress online and had to get it. It was such a lovely fit and I received a few compliments. M&S did not let me down on quality. Love the design.

Must-have summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

Gorgeous dress. Can dress up or down with the right shoes and accessories. I’m 5ft4in and a size 10 and the length was respectable enough for my age - not too much above the knee! I love it. It isn’t too see-through but I feel more comfortable wearing an M&S full slip under it.

Cool summer dress

This is a lovely chic looking summer dress simple but the edging gives it that little more.

Super Cute!

What a great little dress for the price … saw it by chance and bought one of the few remaining sizes - bagged an 8 thinking it maybe too small however fits like a dream - great fabric, doesn’t crease and washes well.

Pretty, but not the best value.

Yes, I recommend this

Positives: This dress is very pretty on. Love the scalloped detail. The length is good for me - sat approx 4” above my knee (I’m 5ft 4). Lovely and easy to wear on a hot day. Plenty of airflow. Down sides - expensive for a dress which is 100% polyester and quite thin/see through (looks like linen but has no linen content at all). Is rather see-through, so nude coloured underwear recommended (I was mindful of this in advance due to other reviews mentioning this). Unsurprisingly ended up with sun tan lotion marks around the sleeve and neck edges after first (only) wear, despite leaving it to soak in for 30 mins before dressing. Sizing is large and initially looked like a tent - I ended up sticking with an 8 - as I got sick of having to return/exchange (and the risk the actual size I needed running out of stock) - but dare say a 6 would’ve been an even better fit (I’m an 8-10. Never a 6).
