Gorgeous colour and style

I love this suit. I bought the trousers to match and it such a lovely shape and style. I have found the same as others. The waistcoat straps are too long and I have a big gap on my shoulders which is a shame as the rest fits perfectly. I am having it adjusted as I think it worth it but not had this problem with other M&S tops in same size.

Classy and good quality

Yes, I recommend this

Wore to a wedding party with wide legged trousers. Classy and good quality. Only issue for me is the straps are slightly longer than expected so it isn’t a perfect fit.

Lovely but no

Lovely waistcoat, nice weight to the material, true to size. But, the material really smells of chemicals. For that reason I wouldn't recommend this waistcoat and will be returning.

Very nice

Yes, I recommend this

Really nice. A neat fit, in firm fabric and fully lined. Worn as a waistcoat over a dress, its true-to-size; worn as modelled, as a top over bare skin, the cut would be on the generous side.
