Lovely 100% cotton but comes up very small

Yes, I recommend this

Pleased with this in terms of quality, but we had to buy size 7-8 for our fairly petite 5.5 year old so do be aware they come up pretty small! (We usally go up one size in M&S but I'd say +2 sizes for these is not too much).

Sending back unfortunately

No, I don't recommend this

Got a size 11 for a very slim 10 year old but it was a bit tight under the arms so wont be keeping. Disappointing as it is the only pure cotton one I've found.

Good quality

Yes, I recommend this

Good quality, my daughter loves the bow at the back, it also has larger arms compared to other dresses, meaning that my daughter is not complaining of them being tight. Also, as this dress is made of 100% cotton, she can wear it all day without it becoming smelly!

Great quality dress. My daughter’s favourite!

Yes, I recommend this

My daughter, aged 6, chose this dress, in two shades of blue, as her favourite among several options, and it’s easy to see why. The pure cotton fabric is excellent quality, looks very smart on and my daughter says it's very comfortable. She’s been happily wearing it to school every day since we bought it. It washes well, irons easily, and the generously sized pockets are a big hit with her. Well done M&S!

Beautiful dress for all inc tall/slim girls

Yes, I recommend this

I bought 2 of these summer dresses for my 9 year old. I love the fact that they tie up at the back so are essentially adjustable and can be pulled in around the waist. All the other summer dresses and playsuits we tried absolutely swamped her as she’s tall but very slim. These are perfect - well made, flattering and the lace detail is very subtle and lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent dress.

I have bought this school dress every year for four years. It wears and washes well and my granddaughter loves the little details of the pockets, lace trim and flower buttons.

Nice - shame about the bow.

Yes, I recommend this

Fiddly and unnecessary bow on the back but as it's the only pure cotton one, no choice and, apart from the bow, it's excellent.

Lovely Design Summer Dress

Yes, I recommend this

My favourite school dresses, love the cotton rich materials and the style is really lovely. The buttons are a little difficult for little ones to manage independently is my only slight feedback.

Too small

Yes, I recommend this

Bought size 13 - 14 yrs for my 11-year-old granddaughter. Lovely material quality but far too small. So disappointing because the next size up dress is constantly out of stock. Clear message to M & S here, please increase your stock of the bigger size to meet the obvious demand.
