M&S shoppers love 'classy' satin 'Pretty Woman' midi dress perfect for a 'special' occasion

Marks and Spencer shoppers are besotted with a "classy" polka dot dress after spotting it online, with some comparing it to one worn by Julia Roberts in the hit 1990 film, Pretty Woman.

Legendary retailer M&S is an integral cog on the British high street, maintaining its relevance with shoppers keen to snap up its extensive array of on-trend clothing, accessories, homeware, beauty supplies, furniture and more.

Like many of its competitors, the popular retailer, which was founded in 1884, makes use of social media to keep shoppers in the loop on all the newest stock and product drops.

M&S boasts millions of followers across its Instagram pages, while many of its staff members also operate Instagram pages of their own. Branded 'M&S insiders' on the hit social media platform, they share outfit and fashion advice, and offer styling tips and inspiration to shoppers.

Recently, 'M&S insider' Sam Briones caused a stir among her 24.9K Instagram followers after sharing an Instagram Reels video featuring the retailer's Satin Polka Dot Tie Front Midi Column Dress, which costs £49.50.

The dress comes in a regular fit in ivory fabric, with a bold green polka dot print in a sleeveless style. It's complete with a round neck and tie detail to the front, in a midi-length design. It can be purchased here.

Midi dresses remain popular among fashion lovers, especially now the summer season is here. A range of retailers offer a range of options, also in sleeveless styles. PrettyLittleThing offers a similar black and white polka dot version, while high street favourite Next offers a variety of midi dress styles to choose from.

Captioning the footage of the Marks and Spencer dress on Instagram, Sam said: "Here's a look at another pretty dress from Occasionwear. I'm enjoying the polka dots in green here, the sleek midi length design and this cute bag."

The dress proved popular among social-media-using fashion lovers, racking up heaps of likes. Shoppers shared their thoughts in the comments section.

Karen said: "Channeling pretty woman!" Rebecca said: "Ohhh I love this!!!" A third shopper commented: "Lovely outfit", while fan Mhairi said: "Love this dress, looks beautiful". Heather simply said: "Gorgeous", and another shopper said: "So elegant Sam".

The dress has also gained a number of five star reviews on the Marks and Spencer website. One happy customer said: "Lovely fabric, nice fit, can't wait to wear on a planned special day!" Another added: "Simple, fresh, classy and elegant. Very nice indeed."
