About this style
Blossoming in the 1980s through the New Romantics era, the high-neck frill has always had a particularly vintage, Victorian look and feel. This ruffle dress, inspired by the blouse, is beautifully designed with a high neck and square shoulders.

Made for a giant
No, I don't recommend this
This whole range has been made for a much taller person in comparison to any other M&S products. The sleeves on this dress were too long (and longer than the sleeves of the same styled shirt). Most people that I know who have bought into this range had to buy at least one size down in order to get the right fit (and to reach the right level of "over-sized" look).

high end glamour
Yes, I recommend this
Fabulous dress so high end fashion. I had my hair cut short to bring the best out of the dress. I love something around my neck so this just suits me perfectly. I have a long taut neck anyway get goose bumps just writing this review - I cannot wait to wear it. I plan to team with sheer tights and expensive flat black suede loafers. No accessories not even earrings all the drama will be at my throat and my hair - love the style

Not what I expected.
No, I don't recommend this
The style was nice, but the material was awful, it was creased when I got it and looked tatty. I saw one of the Towie girls in it on TV and it looked like she'd slept in it! Not worth £45. Returned!

Harry Dress
Yes, I recommend this
I love this dress although the bust is very tight, 12 fitted perfect but too tight round the bust so have now taken the 14 but the bust is still tight so not sure what to do. It is beautiful though the whole range is to be honest

Clean lines in beautiful white cotton fabric
Yes, I recommend this
This dress is simply stunning, team up with tan accessories and frankly I think it is gorgeous and totally unique and cutting edge. Bought it for my daughter and immediately regretted not buying it for myself!

The Harry Dress
Yes, I recommend this
I tried 2 sizes as am in-between and stuck with the smaller size. The dress is quite generously sized so I would size down if I were you. The shift style dress skims over any lumps & bumps and the high neck and ruffled sleeves are simply gorgeous. I can't wait to wear when the weather warms up with a leather jacket and boots but would look equally lovely with sandals. Not sure if I could wear it in autumn / winter as white dresses and black tights can be hit or miss but who knows, it may work!

My Dream White Dress
Yes, I recommend this
This dress is my favourite purchase for Spring/Summer this year. Being white it feels Summery and is a lovely soft cotton material that doesn't crease easily on sitting. It finishes just above the knee on me at 5ft 3inches and is a very flattering length and fit. The long sleeves and high neck mean it's ideal for work and every day wear as well as more formal ocassions. It needs an under garment as the fabric is slightly see through. The victoriana feel to the neck and sleeves contrasts perfectly with the more modern shift dress shape of the body and skirt and it feels very current and on trend. I will keep this dress in my wardrobe forever, it's so beautiful.

Gorgeous dress - well made. Just not right for me!

Disappointing
No, I don't recommend this
Loved the on-trend Victorian style of this dress and liked it in the campaign photos, but unfortunately on me it just looked bizarre. The frill neckline comes up extremely high and feels quite restrictive and the material is also see-through too, despite being quite thick. Have already returned for a refund and was told by the lady serving me that a lot of people have been bringing this back!

Too clinical
Yes, I recommend this
I loved the "Harry" shirt so went for the dress as well, but it was a failure. The styling is very pretty and it fastens up the back of the neck with tiny buttons which are a bit fiddly, but add a nice feature to the dress. I chose my normal size 10. The fit is bigger than some of the styles in the range, but that is the way the dress is styled. The frills which extend to the shoulders are more pronounced than in the photos. On me I looked like a dentist in a smock. I like the fact that it's 100% cotton - much better than a lot of the M&S dresses, but really it's not for me.
