Beautiful Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely fit, length and colours. A close fit on the waist, so comfortable. Good that it is lined but I agree with other reviewers, it would be even better with pockets.

Poor design

This dress does not sit right at the waist, the lack of stitching makes it flip upwards, disappointed as it is a lovely item

Lovely dress but …

No, I don't recommend this

I wasn’t sure what score to give this dress. I loved the colour, pattern mastery and shape of the dress but had to return it due to the frill where the top met the skirt. The frill stuck up no matter what I did. If I got it to lie flat as soon as I move it stuck up. Perhaps if it had been slightly longer it may have stayed lying flat. When I tried it on the feedback was that the eye was drawn to the sticky up bit.

Beautiful quality dress

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful quality dress and the photo does not do it justice. Plus the petite is a perfect fit for my 5ft 2" height - bonus also that it is also lined.

Lovely bright colours to brighten any summer day

Yes, I recommend this

Loved the colour and bought for the holiday season. Sizes sold out so quickly so perhaps should have gone for the larger size but the size I bought fits - just a bit snug but lovely length

Frilly waistband not a good look

When received this I loved it. Great quality fully lined. When on it looked awful at the waist with the frill sticking up. A shame as ordered both and they were returned.

Cotton midi dress

Yes, I recommend this

I love this dress! It's lined and the cotton fabric is cool and comfortable. The colours are lovely and make the dress suitable for different events. I'm a borderline size 8/10 and opted for an 8 which fits snugly around the waist and arm holes.

Beautiful dress!

Yes, I recommend this

Every so often M&S come up with a real hit and it sells out amazingly fast. This dress is such an item. Beautiful and not too expensive either. They do an identical dress in a different, yellow print and I went for that too. The only criticism is that the fluted edge round the waist sticks up the wrong way when I put it on, instead of lying flat, down to the fat I have round my middle I suppose, but I like both dresses so much I decided to put up with that and keep them.

Beautiful dress

Great quality and a beautiful dress, has a nice weight to it. My normal size 12 fitted but the shirred waist sat high as ive a long torso, so sadly returned. No 14 in stock to try but suspect it would have ballooned out above the waist at the back

Beautiful Summer Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful full cotton summer dress which is so very cooling. Bought size 12 regular length and it fits perfectly. Length is at ankle on me as only 5ft 1ins but I like it that length. The cotton material drapes lovely and the top is fitted giving a great shape. Will be wearing this dress at an evening wedding party and hoping the cotton fabric will keep me cool.😎

Lovely Bright Summer Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Ordered this as I was attracted to the style and colour I was not disappointed the dress was perfect for a summers day wore it to a friends birthday meal and received lots of compliments as I am a more mature lady and don’t favour sleeveless dresses I paired it with a M and S short sleeved cardigan in green which matched the green of the flowered pattern on the dress very stylish as a bonus point the dress is lined
