About this style

Originally a teddy with adjustable straps and lace trim, this jacquard playsuit keeps the nipped in waist and neckline detail but adds the element of everyday wear. Alexa said, "With this 80s teddy I instantly saw a playsuit, worn over a plain white t-shirt."

HIT OR A MISS WITH FIT

No, I don't recommend this

Bought for my daughter this is her opinion. Style really good, nice fabric only value for money in sale would not have paid full price, fit good. A bit more on the fit ... had to order a couple of times to get one that sat right. The hem was longer on one side which made it lop sided. Eventually got one that I was happy with.

Playsuit

Yes, I recommend this

I actually got this in the same so was a great buy. Will look great for summer but also in winter with tights and a long sleeve underneath. I would so it's a little on the long side but I have a long torso so suits me fine. Also Material is lovely.

Lop-sided playsuit

No, I don't recommend this

Bought for my teenage daughter who liked the playsuit, but the fit wasn't good. Popper fastening which was okay but on that side the playsuit was longer. Bought a size 8 &10, the size 8 was definitely worse and it just seemed like there was too much material on one side. Both returned sadly.

Mae playsuit

No, I don't recommend this

Nice material. But would not have gone out in this dress it was like nightwear. :(.... The poppers were very uncomfortable for such an expensive item. I think this outfit was personsl choice. I chose not to keep as it was received damaged but had it been ok would not have kept. It seems to have been stitched wrong, did nit hang right felt twisted. Shame.

Interesting Garment

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely material, and I like the quirky poppers. I bought it in the sale at a give-away price, and am really pleased. It will look lovely with a jacket.

FAB

Yes, I recommend this

There are some negative reviews about this item. I have just bought this in the sale, I would have paid full price for this. The style and material is absolutely stunning . I thought I might be a bit old for this my husband thought it was great.. Well done Alexa I hope you are going to continue working with M&S!

Nice design but could be improved.

Yes, I recommend this

While the overall cut and fit looks great online when it arrived I was disappoited to find there were large popper snap buttons on one side to do up the playsuit. I feel this would have been better as an invisible zip and is feels a bit lopsided an large under the arm. Never the less the outfit still looks fine with a jacket.

Pretty !

Yes, I recommend this

Quite a nice little playsuit for teen years . Great for holidays . The quality of making up could have been better . The seams were the problem ,they didn't match .It's supposed to be a summer out fit so why the big black boot's .What about tie up the leg sandals , Much better .The boots are a real put off and enough to make you scroll past this outfit .I have a teenage girl , they looked at this outfit as I got it for her , She liked the playsuit but in fits of laughter when she saw the photo on line !!! Sorry M&S .Thumbs down from me but a thumb up from E.T. Age 14 yrs. This is an honest review , hope it helps ,especially parents.

one side longer than the other

No, I don't recommend this

Lovely material and style. However, there is problem that the length from the seam to the end of the flare is different on the right compared to the left making it look like one side is longer than the other.

Perfect Playsuit

Yes, I recommend this

This is my favourite item from the Alexa archive collection. The fabric is beautiful and the photos on the website don't do it justice. It's a lovely navy blue satin jacquard material with a flare to the legs, so it looks like a skirt which is a really good design feature. Perfect leg length on me at 5ft 3 inches tall. A real quality item that can be dressed down with tights and brogues for work or dressed up for evening with heels. I will get lots of wear out of this super stylish item and am going to buy another one as I love it so much.
