Pure Cotton Pleated Midi Waisted Tea Dress

Product code: T428929W

About this style

Soft pleats and pretty puffed sleeves lend a romantic appeal to this pure-cotton tea dress. It's cut to an easy relaxed fit, with gentle gathers at the waist to add shaping. The graceful midi-length skirt creates an elegant drape, while the stylish tie at the scooped neckline creates ruched detailing. Three tonal buttons on the front complete this versatile design. M&S Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles.

I would recommend this dress,

Yes, I recommend this

I bought the dress online for my holiday. I was very happy with the purchase, it had a loose fit, but still looked fitted and stylish. On return the dress has been washed and looks great though on ironing the top section was tricky. The hem is a double turn to add weight so the dress does hang well. Over all very pleased.

Diappointing

The dress didn't fit well and was difficult to put on and take off.

Flattering and useful dress

Yes, I recommend this

My husband really didn’t like this. However I thought it fitted well, size 10 long, and was quite flattering to wear out sightseeing or shopping around town in the summer. I’m not sure how long it will last or if the colour will degrade over a few washes but I’m very happy with it.

Pretty dress

Yes, I recommend this

I liked the dress very much. It fitted well and draped nicely. Unfortunately the scoop neck was just a bit lower than I like. I had hoped the laces would enable me to gather it in a bit but alas no.

Great Dress - feminine and flattering

Yes, I recommend this

Wow M&S you really delivered with this summer dress. Superb design and great fit and shaping at the waist. Flattering and will be very useful over the warmer months. The concealed side zip adds to the shape. I am a 16 and this fits true to size. Length is as expected. Cotton is lightweight but not transparent and will be great to pack for holidays away.
