Great summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

This is a lovely dress, nice fit and length (I managed to get a tall as wanted it to be long - I’m 5.10) and a great price. Wasn’t sure about the lace insert probably would prefer without but overall very happy! Would recommend, true to size.

Stylish simplicity

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered 3 dresses, all three are so pretty and fit perfectly. I am really pleased and impressed with M&S. This is another super fit which is very flattering on and makes me figure look great. I’m 5ft 6” size 14 and it fits perfectly.

Fabulous Holiday Dress

Yes, I recommend this

I purchased this dress for my holiday & it’s been my favourite. I had to down size & selected the petite which is a perfect length for my 5’ 2” frame. I can easily wear flip flops or heels. I love the weight of the fabric, it’s very swishy & has pockets too. Only tiny niggle is the straps are difficult to adjust being quite thin. Overall I’m very pleased.

Lovely dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely dress, yet to wear it to see how much it creases - but you expect that when you buy linen. Thin, I bought the black one, I imagine with other colours you may see through it. Good length

Nice dress

Yes, I recommend this

I have looked at this dress for ages, I really did not need another black dress. I decided to order it with a discount to satisfy my curiosity. It is lovely material, perfect length (short petite), has pockets and sits well. I love it and cannot wait for better weather so I can wear this lovely dress.

Cheap as chips and it shows

Bit scratchy. Bit shapeless. Not as nice as the similar one with a lace neckline for £10 more.
