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.

Lovely versatile dress

Yes, I recommend this

This cotton dress looks just about perfect. So pleased it doesn’t have a shirred waist, which is unflattering on my apple shape. The pleating is perfect and the sleeves not too billowy but I had to size up as the waist on my usual size was snug.

Fabulous design detail

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this dress for a Burlesque evening in Vienna coming shortly. The style is corset like so I thought it would be ideal and can easily wear it on other occasions.

Great Dress!

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely dress. It fits well and the fabric feels good. I'm short and round, unlike the model in the picture, yet it looks good on me thanks to the choice of lengths! This dress in a range of colours would have been even better.

Flattering dress, great fit

Yes, I recommend this

I dithered over whether to buy this dress as I didn’t like the sound of pleating. I’m so glad I went ahead and bought it though. I bought size 14 petite and it fits absolutely perfectly and is incredibly flattering. I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet but I think it’s going to be one of my favourites as the weather warms up

Nice black cotton dress

I'm 5'2" and purchased size 14. It's a good fit and the midi regular length is perfect. But then I do like my dresses quite long. The fitted, darted, mid section is flattering and gives a nice waistline. The scoop neck is quite low but again, flattering. It's a useful summer dress that can be styled up with a belt and a small silk neckscarf. The puff sleeves are a good length and not too puffy. The quality of the fabric is a lovely soft cotton that hangs well. Would love to have this dress in Navy or Chocolate Brown please M&S.

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.
