DRESS OF THE WEEK: THE PERFECT TEA DRESS

We’ve made it our mission to bring you the very best of our dress collection, helping you find the perfect pull-on-and-go pieces

Tea dresses are the staple of a pretty, feminine closet, and with its universally flattering blue and understated floral print, this one is just the ticket. Our M&S staff models were impressed with the dress, which you can style classically with court shoes and a tote bag or give some edge by layering over a T-shirt and pairing with white ankle boots. “This dress is a lovely length,” says assistant buyer Laura O’Hagan (pictured centre). “It’s great that it’s got a V-neck without being too revealing.”
