Marks and Spencer shoppers hail 'slimming' £39 dress with 'beautiful Spring pattern' as heatwaves are forecast

With four 'African Plume' heatwaves forecast later this year, Marks and Spencer (M&S) shoppers are heaping praise on a 'slimming' £39.50 dress which has a pattern that's 'perfect' for the Spring and Summer months. The £39.50 M&S dress is proving popular with shoppers, who claim it 'hides all the nasty lumps and bumps' as well as being versatile enough to dress both up and down.

M&S' £39.50 Floral V-Neck Midi Tiered Dress comes in three different designs. Shoppers can choose between Black, Orange Mix and Multi. The £39.50 Floral V-Neck Midi Tiered Dress is available in three different lengths - Petite, Regular and Long - and comes in sizes 6 to 24.

The £39.50 M&S dress features an all-over floral print which is perfect for the Spring and Summer months, and has been designed in a comfy regular fit, with a feminine v-neckline and short sleeves for a breezy feel. This dress has flattering tiers and sits at a sophisticated midi length. Gently pleated detail at the sleeves and a button-front fastening complete the look.

For casual-wear, we recommend pairing it with M&S' 'classic and timeless' £45 trainers - which are loved by ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby. For a more dressed up look, try it with a pair of M&S' £45 Leather Studded Block Heel Sandals.

The 'pretty' £39.50 M&S floral dress has seen plenty of five-star reviews online. While the reviews are glowing for the most part, some people noted that the dress can come up a little big, so it's worth considering sizing down.

One five-star reviewer wrote of the £39.50 M&S dress: "I bought this in the multi floral and its so pretty, i took advice from other reviewers and went down a size and i think it looks better for doing that, to loose would make you look larger than you are. I also went for the long length so it grazes my ankles like a maxi dress. I prefer this look as I’m not keen on only having half my legs on show, for me its either be long or be short, not half way up my legs."

A second said: "Bought the short length as I’m only 5ft1”. I’m a high street large, size 16. Perfect fit and length mid calf. Skims the body, no clinging. Looks lovely and is perfect for summer holidays." A third reviewer said of the £39.50 M&S Summer dress: "The dress is a nice fit, colours are really vibrant."

"Super pretty midi dress, fun colour and excellent fit, I am 5ft 1 and the petite was fine, more colours please M&S," wrote another five-star reviewer. "Beautiful dress, my mum loved the print. Comfortable to wear and true to size," said somebody else.

Another Marks and Spencer fan raved: "Lovely dress that fits well. Pretty floral material which hangs well and looks like it won't crease. Glad it was available in a short length as I'm 5ft 3." Somebody else said: "Fabulous spring/summer dress. Fits perfectly and is cool and loose without being shapeless. Perfect!"

Somebody else called the £39.50 M&S dress 'pretty', saying: "Really easy dress to wear and the style should suit most body types, nice material which drapes well, hides not so perfect bits! Wasn't sure about the pattern, thought it might be a bit busy for me but its pretty & fresh looking with the white/green foliage and pops of orange flowers on a dark background. Liked it so much that I also bought the plain black version. I can be between sizes but went for the smaller size in this style."

New Look has a similar style of dress in a chic dalmatian print for £33.99. River Island's CREAM FLORAL SHIRRED SMOCK MIDI DRESS is currently £30 instead of £42.

The Floral V-Neck Midi Tiered Dress is available in three different colours, and lengths, in sizes 6 to 24 for £39.50 on the M&S website.
