Attractive and useful

Yes, I recommend this

Love the colour and shape although I'm 5'7" and I find it a little too long . It doesn't crease and is ideal for hot weather.

Pretty but not worth the price

No, I don't recommend this

I returned this dress since I thought the material wasn’t very nice considering the price. I also found the straps left a bit of a gap when wearing it even though I bought the recommended size. You can see this in the model in the pictures as well.

Odd shoulder straps

No, I don't recommend this

I loved this dress but I am normally a size 10 and the shoulder strap sat oddly - needed to be a bit shorter. I would have tried the dress in a size 8 but out of stock.

Not sure who this is supposed to fit …

No, I don't recommend this

Hmmmm I tried this in regular and petite fitting and too low at the front. I Alison found the body too long for waist length but too short for dropped waist …

Good quality and price.

Easy to wear, perfect fit and length dress up or down. Wash and wear doesn’t crease. What more do you want? Maybe another colour.

M&S You've Done It Again

Yes, I recommend this

Went into M&S the other day for milk and bread and came away with this fabulous dress too. The price, the look, the style are all flattering on any size, and the black/brown check will be on trend into next season. It also made my day by being able to get it in a smaller size due to the style. Thank you.

Nice dress overall.

Yes, I recommend this

Fits well, size 8, I’m a size 8-10. Slightly rubs under the armpits but I can live with it. Can be worn with a bra despite the lower square neck line. Nice fabric and colour. Feels slightly more grungy with some chunky black sandals, great for me!

Lovely holiday dress

Yes, I recommend this

Quite expensive for a sun dress but I have kept it as it is lovely for holiday and doesn't crease and the black and brown check is a bit different. Love the square neck.
