Lovely light weight holiday dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love the colour, amazing for the summer - fabric is on the thin side, I ordered the orange one too but it was way too see through. The red one was okay with light underwear.

Lovely fit, colour and length.

Fits really well. I was concerned how low it was but the straps are adjustable which provides more coverage. It is a bit see through but M & S also sell bikinis in the exact same colour to wear underneath which I have also purchased.

Took away with me beautiful flowing dress. Travels well in the suitcase, light material. Lovely bold raspberry colour. I wore with nude underwear as slightly see through. Great for beach dress or evening dress on holidays.

Lacks quality material.

I feel that the quality of the material does not match the pricing. The colour isn’t of a standard that I would expect. I am a little disappointed.

This dress is really lightweight and could be worn over a swimsuit as a beach dress, daytime with flip flops or evening with sandals. Great buy.

Perfect colour, flattering fit but see-through

The colour & the style are perfect - so flattering, but because it is so thin (basically see-through) and low cut at the front & back, I don’t know how or where I can wear it? Reluctantly contemplating returning it

Gorgeous colour and lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

Its a lovely dress gorgeous colour and okay fit. However the fabric is very light weight which makes the bodice see through. I was going to return it but I loved the style and colour so much that I will try to line it myself.

cheap quality - pics are misleading

No, I don't recommend this

From the photos it looks like a nice heavy cotton fabric. In fact the fabric is so thin - almost see through. Looks like fabric that would be used for lining a dress. Such a pity as the colour is so nice. Another fail.

Great

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely summer dress, it’s light weight but a great shape. I bought the tall version as I like them maxi not half way up my legs. I wish they did more styles like this, feminine and fitted.
