Shoppers have praised the ‘flattering’ fit of this summer dress with a ‘bohemian look and airy feel’
Marks and Spencer shoppers are loving a “stylish” holiday dress they say is “perfect” for days out by the beach or even dressing up in the evening. Dozens of women have claimed this knitted dress has a “flattering style” and is made with “superb quality.”
The store recently relaunched virtual shopping following a major cyber attack that forced the company to switch off online orders. Between April 25 and June 9, M&S was not able to take any orders through its website or app.
One item shoppers are back to loving and ordering online is this £39.50 Cotton Blend Knitted Round Neck Midi Dress. M&S said that its knit texture and design give it a “bohemian look and airy feel”.

The website adds: “It’s designed in a flattering slim fit, with a round neck and a stylish sleeveless shape. The skirt ends at a graceful midi length and is finished with a contrasting ruffled hem.”
Shoppers may be interested in similar-style crochet dresses like the Love and Roses Neutral Crochet Midi Dress on Next (£59). Or, New Look’s Black Crochet Square Neck Maxi Beach Dress (currently 25% off at £24.74).
But M&S shoppers love the ivory-coloured dress with black detailing, which is available in sizes XS to XL. Based on almost 120 customer reviews, shoppers say the fit is “true to size.”
One said: “Absolutely love this dress, the style, fit and material. Bought as a beach dress but would definitely wear it out at night.” Another added: “Really lovely dress fits snugly but without feeling tight or showing any lumps or bumps.”
A third wrote: “A versatile dress that can be dressed up or down. So comfortable with a flattering style and superb quality.” Someone else shared: “This is the perfect dress for my upcoming holiday. The material is of a lovely quality and a flattering cut. It looks great with a pair of wedges.”
There were a few critics, although the dress received no rating lower than two stars. The only poor review claimed the dress felt “shapeless,” adding: “Great quality dress and very pretty—but too much material around the middle, the waist needs nipping in slightly.”
More women wanted to love the dress, giving it three-star reviews, but claimed it was “just too long” for them. However, the overwhelming response was positive.
A fifth put in their review: “Great summer dress, lovely fabric, had seen similar on Mint Velvet for four times the price. Like the cotton mix stretch fabric, not too clingy. Very pleased with purchase.” And, someone else posted: “Lovely little wardrobe piece. It is easy to pop on and you’re ready to go. Looks great and will take you anywhere – day or night.”
