Wrongly sized dress
Yes, I recommend this
Unlike other reviewers I found this size 12 dress too large. I have always been size 12 in a dress & have several secret support dresses in this size.The under support on this one was just like an ordinary underskirt & everything else was too big,leading me to the conclusion it was wrongly sized.Apart from this I thought it a good business dress,good length but sleeves could have been a bit longer.

Striking dress
Yes, I recommend this
I have several M&S dresses of a similar style to this but have never had one with the Secret Slimming feature. I am a straight-up-and-down size 10, and 5'4" tall. Ordinarily, I would buy the Short length but on this occasion only Regular was available. I found the overall fit of the dress fractionally on the small side - especially, given that I have very little bust - across the chest and shoulders. I could still move freely, though, and it wasn't uncomfortable. The length reached below my knee and, as I'm not tall, made me look a bit frumpy. When I folded the hemline up to the centre of my knee, it changed the look altogether - much more flattering! The Secret Slimming panel was unobtrusive to wear and made the dress hang very well and, since I don't have much of a stomach, acted as an inner slip, helping the dress to move about my body. I liked how it made the dress feel. Unfortunately, the reason I eventually decided not to keep it, was because the dark-coloured panels of the dress are almost black, rather than navy. A true navy I can wear; black, I can't. A very smart dress, though, with a figure flattering lining.

Can't imagine many keep this
No, I don't recommend this
Looked lovely on hanger but once on very unforgiving. Tight on sleeves but large on top of shoulders. Because it fits all over there are surely only a certain percentage of bodies it will fit.

A flattering style for a curvy figure
Yes, I recommend this
The dress is smart sophisticated and flattering for my figure. I am currently trying to lose weight and this dress has knocked c.m. off my figure and I feel so confident wearing it.The only problem is that the sleeves are slightly tight being older my arms are starting to sag, the dress would benefit from about an extra two c.ms in this area. Also doing the dress up without help, that little bit at the top middle back trying to reach the zip, not for those without monkey arms. A pulley feature would help with this issue. That said I love the dress and look forward to finding something else in a similar style possibly without sleeves to help with the fastening and sleeve restrictions.

Beautiful dress, but ....

Beautiful dress and extremely flattering, but it was too time consuming to put on and I found it difficult to do up the zip.

An attractive dress
Yes, I recommend this
This is a smart and well fitting dress with control in just the right place. After reading other reviews, I believe it is more suitable for a mature figure. I'm delighted with this dress.

Fitted dress

Bought for my mother who is a size 12. Very snug but Ithink it is meant to be. Flattering and good quality.

Pretty Dress
Yes, I recommend this
Love the colour of the dress However I have a curvy figure which means I go in at the waist but with the white block stripe across the waist line it gave me no shape. The secret slimming is good if your thighs are a little large but the lining stops at the thigh leaving the rest of the dress with no shape.

Very stylish dress
Yes, I recommend this
I bought this dress to go to a wedding in May and I love it! I am a size 18 and I feel great in it. It is very slimming, partly because it has the secret slimming lining under the dress. I thoroughly recommend this dress!

Weird cut

This dress looked lovely on the photos, but was weirdly cut and didn't sit at all well. Had to send it back.

Bought as a work dress for my daughter. Very flattering. Love the colour combination. Bit more expensive but with 20% off it was a great buy.

Not right for me
No, I don't recommend this
I wanted to love this dress, colours are good the weight of the dress feel nice but the 'secret' element of it is an extremely tight elastic slip underneath. On me it was particularly tight, especially on my chest and made it difficult to lift my arms above waist height without riding the rest of the dress up too. The sleeves were not flattering. It's also a shame it didn't offer various lengths like other M&S dresses as I would've preferred long option.

Beautiful
Yes, I recommend this
I can`t believe that this dress looks so good on! No need to wear a slimming underskirt as the lining does the job. Material is very good and the colours are beautiful. The dress is true to size and I would definitely recommend.

Fab dress ruined....
No, I don't recommend this
I bought this dress last season with black, red & taupe colouring and it was fantastic. This season's dress has been ruined however by including the secret slimming lining to the dress. The lining makes the back of the dress sit really badly. Such a shame as the colours and design are really nice.
