Elegant

Yes, I recommend this

It's different but restrained and elegant. The only issue I have is that the zipper catches at the waist every time and I wonder how long it will last as the lace seems a little fragile.

such a shame

Yes, I recommend this

I loved this dress as soon as I saw it in store and tried on my usual size 10. It was on the large side and also noticed the lace had snagged in the zip and was looking a bit tatty So I recently ordered 2 size eights online to hopefully get a good one. They were a good fit but found them both to be damaged (very obvious pulls in the lace on each dress). They looked like they had been returned before and then sent out again from store. A lovely dress but probably can be snagged very easily and I think lace catching in the zip would be a problem. Such a shame. I don't think I will be re ordering.

Hope it survives it's first outing this weekend

Yes, I recommend this

Saw this dress in a shop but didn't have my size so ordered it online. It's beautiful and fits fine BUT the zip already got caught in the lace, and I am concerned that by the end of the occasion I have bought it for; a formal lunch with three kids in tow, it (and I!) may not have survived....

On trend lace dress

Yes, I recommend this

I am a size 10 but had to change this dress for an 8 as the bust & shoulder fit was very big. Love the stretchy lace material but think it could snag. Only criticism is the concealed back zip that is very difficult to do up. It can catch on the material & the hook at the top appears to be the wrong way round? Difficult to do up. It does look good on & am looking forward to wearing it during the day & evening.

Hippy flair

Yes, I recommend this

I need some formal dresses for a cruise but can't bear some ofthe stuffy grown up styles & thoughtless had had its day ....... so........this fitted the bill perfectly. I was a bit worried that it may look a bit too rock chic or cheap but not at all. Smoothly sophisticated & classy with a twist. Love it lots.

Nice dress but not for me

Yes, I recommend this

I didn't find the shade of blues or the neckline to be very flattering. A shame as it is a lovely dress and would be great for a nice evening out

Looks beeter than it fits

Yes, I recommend this

Before I tried it on, I stood in the changing room and loved the way the dress looked and felt. When I put it on, I was very disappointed. Although it was a size 8 it was at least an inch too wide and looked very baggy and wrinkly... also I have noticed that when M&S advertises something as a knee lenght it means way over the knee... Not impressed.

Gorgeous, but strange shape on the hips!

No, I don't recommend this

I'm a size 12-14 and ordered the 12 in this. Such a beautiful dress, but although the lining fits snugly on the hips, the actual dress has been stitched really wide at the hips, with an extra couple of inches sticking out at the sides. Such a shame, as elsewhere is a good-quality M&S size 12. Will try to see if there is a differently-stitched one in store, as would still like this dress, but this one is having to go back.

Ombre Lace Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love this dress, it came up a little snug because its lined all the way through so could of gone for a bigger size or if it wasn't lined it would be just right but as I'm on a healthy eating plan I'll soon be wearing it with ease :-)

Lovely and colourful summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

The dress is a bit on the large side (if I had bought it in the shop I would have tried a size smaller). But the dress is so sweet and the colour and length is just perfect, just below the knee. The zip is a bit fiddly and I will get rid of the little hook at the top of the zip immediately as it snags in my hair. But all in all a great dress for summer.

Gorgeous Dress - not sure on how it'll last though

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress for an evening wedding reception with a view to wearing it to work in months to come. It is very smart and easy to wear but even when trying it on (and I got my hubby to zip me in and upzip me) the lace has already caught a couple of times close to the zip. I don't think it will take much wear before it catches in a more obvious place and then it will start to look less than pristine and possibly a bit tatty and cheap. I did buy it when M&S were offering 20% discount so I got a bargain but I'm still within the 35 day refund period and I haven't made up my mind to keep it yet. Hubby likes it.
