Marks and Spencer's 'flattering' £45 floral Summer dress is comfortable to wear and 'perfect' for any occasion

Marks and Spencer fans say they have found the 'perfect' Summer dress that is 'flattering' while being 'super comfy' to wear. The £45 floral M&S Summer dress, which fashion fans say looks a lot better when they put it on than it does on the hanger, can be dressed up or down for Summer holidays, wedding guests, picnics, beer gardens and for office wear.

M&S' £45 Floral Tie Neck Midaxi Waisted Dress is cut in a spacious regular fit that will help to cover bloat, while its elasticated waist will cinch you in. The sleeveless M&S Summer dress features an elegant tie neck and is fully lined for a comfortable wear.

It has a gathered detail at the shoulder provides a flattering finish. The £45 Floral Tie Neck Midaxi Waisted Dress comes in sizes 6 to 22, and is available in three different lengths - Petite, Regular and Long.

It also comes in two different colourways - Green Floral and Blue Watercolour. The dress can be paired with some gold wedges for an easy yet elegant Summer wedding guest outfit, or worn with plain white trainers for a more dressed-down look suitable for Summer holidays, BBQs, picnics and beer gardens.

Marks and Spencer's £45 Floral Tie Neck Midaxi Waisted Dress is getting rave reviews from those who have tried it. Fashion fans have hailed it both 'comfortable' and 'elegant', with some saying seeing it on the hanger doesn't do it justice.

Giving the £45 M&S Summer dress a five-star rating, one fashion fan said: "Just what i was looking for very pleased with my purchase." A second wrote: "Just love this dress it’s so flattering and super comfy."

A third said: "Couldn’t be happier with this dress. Looks unremarkable on the hanger, but flattering, great fabric as it drapes well." "Lovely for a special occasion. Very comfortable to wear. Long but I would wear with heels or flats. Fits true to size," wrote another M&S customer.

Somebody else said: "Lovely fabric, great design. Looking forward to wearing this when summer comes." "This dress makes me so happy - the colour the cut - I just wish it had pockets," raved another.

Others commented on the size, suggesting downsizing if you want a more fitting dress, as it can come up a little big. One M&S fan advised: "Pretty dress although had to go down a size as it was too big."

Another suggested "Tried this dress on in store but my usual size was too big, so I ordered online a size down which is perfect. The great plus for me is that it’s in a Petite fitting! Always a bonus when you’re only 5ft! The dress is a gorgeous shade of green, very ‘in’ this season, also a fine cotton so when summer final comes I’m hoping it will be cool and comfortable. Well done M&S and more lovely dresses in Petite Please!!"
