Re-think your sizing

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered this dress in an 18 but it was a bit big across the bust, and this is where I usually need it but in this style going down a size the fit was much better. I got it on sale and was really surprised to see it on line and still available in a 16 so I ordered it again in both colours as the style and quality was great. The size 16 fitted perfectly I am delighted with the dress and more so with the price as I got it on sale. Highly recommended this dress.

Perfect Summer Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Despite finding some of the reviews about this dress off putting I decided to find out for myself. I have been looking for a yellow dress for a while and was delighted to see this on your website. As advised I ordered the size down to my usual size 12. I have to say that this dress is a delight to me. The shade of yellow is definitely a soft, flattering lemon. The linen is of a reasonable quality for the price but the fit is perfect for me. I am 5 ft 4, high waited and quite busty and the waistline on the dress is perfect for me. The dress is quite long but I cannot wait to wear it. Please can you make a version in powder blue?

lovely style but ...

No, I don't recommend this

loved the style and colour, more a primrose yellow, but had a very strange fit. The waist was far too high, no where near the natural waist. I had to return it, which was a pity.

Buy it

Yes, I recommend this

Absolutely love it. It's so pretty and makes you feel really glamorous. It does run big so buy a smaller size or maybe two as it is big but when you get the size right, it's well worth it,. Now we just need some constant sunshine!!

Lovely white dress

Yes, I recommend this

Love this dress, it’s lined so not see through like loads of others I’ve tried. I’m really tall and it’s still a good length on me . Size down as it’s on the larger size but great can’t wait to wear it on my holiday

Almost perfect dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely dress soft linen beautifully lined skirt with soft cotton, but...the fit is poor. This dress is so high waisted, it makes one look big and like pregnant. Why M&S cannot get it right and study women's anatomy a bit. How can the waist be only 12cm below the armpit? Really? Where would the ribs be then? Isn't the waist supposed to be the part of soft tissue between the last rib and the hip bone? So we can cinch the dress in the waist? This one comes straight under the bra wire. Trust M&S to spoil what could have been a perfect summer dress. M&S fashion team, please take notice of customers' feedback. Get the waist line right. Because of this I had to return or not purchase so many great looking garments.

Gorgeous Lemon Linen Dress

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

This dress was only available online, so I took a chance on my regular size. Whilst it does come up a little big, I liked the drawstring waist which gives a lovely silhouette. It's longer at the back than the front but a nice shape on overall. Also it doesn't appear to be see through, as linen quality is excellent. The colour is a beautiful summery lemony yellow. Very pleased with it.

Pure linen waisted midi dress - lemon colour

Yes, I recommend this

I liked the style of this dress and it looked good on but was very big although I had ordered my normal size. I returned the dress and ordered it in a size smaller which fits really well. The colour is lovely too.

Sack like peasant style

What a disappointment. This dress was very baggy and looked awful on me - a cross between a peasant style and sack-like. Sent it back.

Lovely lemon colour

Yes, I recommend this

I am so pleased with this dress as it is very flattering. You can adjust the waist and the dress just flows. As it is linen it will be lovely and cool to wear on summer days and on holiday. The only negative thing is that it is a bit see through.

A Disappointment

No, I don't recommend this

I loved the look of this dress but it was difficult to judge with so few photos (only the one) and no model wearing it. I looked like a sack of potatoes in it. I loved the bodice, the neckline, the cap sleeves but the gathered waist was far too high (on my ribs) and it went downhill from there. I was torn which colour to go for and opted for the yellow, which was brighter than what I expected.
