Tricky to get on and off
No, I don't recommend this
I bought this dress in several sizes for my teenage daughters who are to be bridesmaids. It is not clear from the description on the website, but the bodice of the dress is elasticated and there are no fastenings, which makes getting the dress on and off (over the head) quite tricky - I can't imagine what this would do to your hairstyle if you had already had your hair done before getting changed. This colour came up bigger in size than the burgundy dress of the same style. My girls are very slender, so if you are slightly larger around the bust/shoulders I think getting the dress on would be extremely difficult and possibly very tight to wear. The dress looked good on my daughters, but was not quite what we wanted so we are returning it.

What a great idea...in theory
No, I don't recommend this
I know the ratings I have given this dress are all over the place. That is because, in theory, this is such a great idea for a dress. So many ways to wear one dress - making it great value for money. The quality of the dress was also very good. However, it's biggest stumbling block is the fit. I am between a size 12 and 14 and heavy on top. I bought the size 14 and really, really struggled to get in (and out) of the dress. There aren't any zips or anything to help with this either. It was really, really tight around the bust area - I felt and looked like if i exhaled, the dress might rip! It's a great shame as I really, really like the dress - but there is no way I could wear it. So, back to the shop it goes....

Gorgeous dress
Yes, I recommend this
Loved the dress, I had ordered a size bigger then what I normally ear due to previous reviews, it was big around the bust area, sadly had to return and no small size available in this colour...

Lovely dress, bought my usual size, no probs :-)
Yes, I recommend this
Having read the other reviews, I was tempted to size up but I'm glad I decided to buy my usual size. I wouldn't say that the dress comes up small at all. My measurements are 16 but I usually buy 14 as I find size 16 clothes in the shops are usually too big. Anyway, yes wasn't completely easy to get on, but I managed to pull the dress up over my (not insubstantial) hips without ripping any seams! Came off over my shoulders very easily. Fitted great around the bust area (I'm 32GG). Despite the built in support, personally I still definitely need to wear a bra with this. It is a lovely dress, fabric hangs beautifully, very Marilyn Monroe in style. Found the ties were long enough not to look too short when wrapped around and tied at the back as another reviewer had found, but would have chosen them to be slightly longer. Colour is beautiful. Overall, good job M&S.

Love it.
Yes, I recommend this
Awesome dress, so comfortable. I found the fit ok, but like other reviewers said, it was a little tricky to get off. This is really comfy to wear, and as previously mentioned, the fabric is quite heavy so the dress sits nicely.

Multiway
Yes, I recommend this
Love the fact that you can wear it lots of different ways but it is so hard to get into, no zips on the bodice and once you are in only another person helping can get you out. Having said that if I go out anywhere I wouldn't be planning to take it off until I get home anyway.

Gorgeous but both snug and large(!)
Yes, I recommend this
I love this dress, the fabric is floaty and the colour really striking. Others commented on the tight fit, so I went a size up, and they were right - there's a lycra-like top half which needs to slip over your head or hips and that is quite tight, but... for those of us with a smaller bust, that meant that the preshaped bodice actually is quite large for me. The straps can cover that up thought, so I am keeping the dress

Lovely Dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a beautiful dress fit for a party or a wedding, and can be worn in several ways which is brilliant. My tummy is my troublesome area, and this just skims straight over it. I love the colour too.

Brought this dress for my 4 bridesmaids who are all different shapes & sizes because they could wear it differently - excellent choice as it suited all of them and everyone is happy!!

Beautiful Dress but way too small
No, I don't recommend this
I bought this dress in a size 8 (my normal size) and it would have been amazing apart from the fact that you have to put it on over your head (no zip) and it's impossibly small and tight and wouldn't go over my shoulders without a fight. I could have gone up to a bigger size but then the fit would have been wrong. A real shame as the dress is made on wonder, heavy material and looks amazing. The addition of a zip would make all the difference

Fab dress great colour
Yes, I recommend this
Absolutely love love love this dress! I agree with other reviews- dress could do with a zip but while I normally wear size 10 / 12 - found I had to order a size 14 just to get the dress on! But it looks fab so can live with that!

Amazing purchase
Yes, I recommend this
Fantastic value and I had so many people come over and complement me on this dress at a recent wedding. It made my day, comfy, flattering and good quality. I even had people bringing over their friends to show them this dress. I was asked is it Ghost, Coast or designer but proud to say no its my M and S bargain! love, love, love, it! I bought the next size up as previous reviews said it is a bit snug round the bust and it is slightly but that's my only criticism. Going to get another one in a different colour to!

This is my new favourite dress
Yes, I recommend this
This dress is brilliant! I love the cut, which enhances the chest and elegantly covers the tummy, thighs and bottom! The gunmetal colour is divine, great for the Autumn wedding i bought it for and am likely to wear for a ball a few months later too! Great thinking with the multiple options regarding the straps! It is very snug around the chest (i am a 34A and size 10) and i would agree with the other reviews that adding a zip would make the dressing and undressing much much easier! For some one with a small bust such as myself the moulded chest is ideal, and with a bra underneath too gives a much desired boost to the bust! With it being so snug it also has no risk of slipping whilst dancing the night away either! so close to being almost perfect; just need that zip adding!! and an absolute bargain at £55!
