Paisley Print Maxi Beach Dress

I had to return this as it was far too long.

I now have the maxi dress, short dress and swimsuit all in the same pattern, which I am very pleased with. More clothes like this in vibrant colours, but not acid colours, which do not suit everyone. Greens always seem to be missing from M & S clothes.

Lovely blue colours and the stirred top fits like a dream. Good length. Can be dressed up for a evening event too. Must wear with flat shoes.

I am only 5'2"" so even the short is slightly too long and I find all the things I like never do in petite, ordered a 8short but slightly too small, out of stock 10 regular so went with 10 long had to shorten anyway so didn't really matter especially with the pattern, lovely material, also bought navy mix but had to buy 8 short as 10 short in that was too loose.

Tried a 14 and a 16. The 16 was nowhere nearly as well made as the 14 elastic was really slack in places, love the print so wanted to buy this dress!

This is a pretty dress, ideal for holidays, we are off to Cyprus in a week! I am 5'3" and I bought the short and for the first time in ages I have not had to stump up to pay dressmaker to lop off inches. Most maxi dresses appear to be made for amazons! Bought at reduced price so even better.

I loved the colour and style. I didn't give excellent as value for money because the style is quite simple to make - no darts, zips, etc. The bust has so much elastic that it was really tight (for a size 8); but I have a narrow back and fuller bust 28 DD /30 E. Perhaps it wouldn't a problem for other bust sizes..

Great dress easy to wear on and off the beach. Nice to wear on a nice warm evening

Fits well, is very comfortable, looks good, what else can I say? I can't wait to wear it!

Bought as a present for a friend who is going to visit Australia soon, material is lovely cannot say about fit, but have bought similar dresses and have always been a good fit, lovely for a beach holiday.
