Love this dress so easy to wear smart or casual. I was lucky to find one online. Most of my summer wardrobe this year is from M&S . So versatile and great value.

This is such an unusual dress, it’s very flattering and I love the side ties. It’s an easy wear dress and nice fabric too.

Love it!

Yes, I recommend this

Love it. Size 8 fits great. But the back does pucker up slightly which is okay. First time wearing I had so many compliments even in M&S when I went to return some other dresses. Lovely colour, fit, style and fabric.

Great style and flattering fit

Yes, I recommend this

Loved this dress. Bought 12 petite and length was mid calf which I liked. The style was flattering and cotton fabric light and cool. Sadly I returned as my husband thought the brown wasn’t summery and it made me doubt it.

Lovely summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

A nice thin material for summer that can be dressed up or down and even suitable for the office. On the first day of wearing it I had many compliments. The shape and length are flattering.

Stylish and Flattering

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful chocolate colour dress, fitted shape. I’m 5’5 and I can wear either size 10 or 8. I originally ordered the 10 as 8 was out of stock, it fit but slightly large around the arm holes and bust but could live with it, but the 8 came back in stock and I ordered it and it fit perfectly. Can dress up with a nice heeled strappy sandal or down with some flats, nice length, calf length. Cool material. The ruching and belts give it an elegant finish, shame the belts don’t actually work, it’s just for effect. Would definitely recommend.

No tailoring, cheaply manufactured

Lovely on the hanger but it’s just not what I wanted, ie a good quality dress that contours around curves. Hard to describe, it kind of clings and balloons like a tube of fabric rather than something cut to a pattern.
