Good Quality

Good quality material and nice length, but I didn’t find the neckline quite as flattering as a conventional scoop or V. Still keeping it, as it will be fine.

Flattering dress

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful elegant dress which can be dressed up or down. I ordered my usual size 18 but am sure you could downsize if not topheavy like myself. Its a proper long maxi, so great for us tall ladies. I really love it, very pleased.

A summer must.

Yes, I recommend this

Bought to wear on City break to Italy. Petite size great for my 5’3” Flattering for my shape. Linen mix meant no creases. In all I enjoyed wearing the dress, ideal for the hot weather and as I don’t like to show the tops of my arms I wore a lightweight crotchet cardigan around my shoulders. Perfect.

Lovely long maxi dress

Yes, I recommend this

Great maxi dress. I am 5.8 and it's a true maxi, almost covering my feet, which I like in regular length. Tall would have been too long for me. Sizing was on the large side so I went down a size and it fitted perfectly. Looking forward to wearing it on hot summer days, hopefully we will have some of these soon! Think it could be dressed up for evening wear too, so perfect for taking away on holidays for day and evening. Not washed yet so can't comment on this. Material seems a good weight but not too heavy and it drapes well and the style is slimming. All in all delighted with this dress and think it is great value for money at the price.

Great quality dress but big

Yes, I recommend this

Really well made dressed and a great price, but it is really big so will have to return. Hoping smaller size is still in stock. Tall sizes sell out so quickly. That should tell you something M&S.. please get more in!

Looks great

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this to replace a very similar dress I bought years ago from Per Una, which has finally faded a bit too much. This actually fits better. I didn’t realise it had a side zip- I hate them- but this doesn’t matter as I can pull it on without using the zip at all and it still fits perfectly. I am 5ft 3 and it comes just to my ankles , might be a midi on a taller person, but just right for me.

Summer staple in a classic colour.

A very useful style for really hot summer climates, like mine. Loose enough but also stylish (not a sack). The linen is a little thinner than I'd like but as the colourway is black, nothing shows through. Would have bought more if they came in other colours! A style that never goes out of fashion. I'll live in it this summer.

Lovely fit

Really like the fit of this, the only thing is I’m not sure what bra I’d wear what wasn’t very visible. One that has been sorted I think this dress will get a lot of wear over summer. I’m 5’3” and would normally get a short length, there were none in stock so got regular which is about ankle length; I can still wear flat shoes,

Perfect holiday dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought this for my upcoming holiday as love anything linen. This is so flattering and can be worn as beach cover, or dress it up for evening wear. It is full length on me(I’m 5ft 6 size 14) and it skims the body perfectly giving the most flattering silhouette. Such a good price too, what’s not to love!
