Marks and Spencer shoppers praise £29.50 summer dress that 'suits any occasion'

Marks & Spencer have caught shoppers' eyes once again with a dress that has been hailed as "lovely" and "flattering" for the warmer months.

The high street favourite has earned praise for its range of summer dresses in recent weeks, and the latest garment to turn heads is the Printed V-Neck Midi Wrap Dress. Priced at £29.50, the dress is available in either a navy polka-dot or black and white floral pattern, and is currently one of the bestsellers on the M&S website as shoppers snap it up for their summer holidays.

The dress is designed in an easy regular fit with short sleeves and a flattering v-neckline, complete with a mock-wrap front and a tie fastening at the side for "elegant shaping", according to M&S. And the outfit has left shoppers impressed, earning a rating of 4.2 out of five stars overall based on reviews from customers.

One person wrote in their review of the dress: "Lovely comfortable dress, soft fabric, easy to wear, for all occasions."

A different reviewer seconded this, commenting: "Nice for work or to dress up for the evening. Perfect. Very good price too."

Another fan of the outfit added: "Lovely thin material, so lovely and cool when it's hot. Currently pregnant so fits a growing bump well!"

And someone else said: "Lovely fabric, relaxed fit, great length, recommend this dress." Others described it as "ideal for summer" as well as "comfortable and flattering", with another reviewer declaring they "love everything about it".

Some reviewers did point out that they found issues with the sizing of the dress, which is worth bearing in mind for any shoppers thinking of getting it for themselves. One person complained that the waist of the dress "sat very high" on them, while someone else similarly said: "when I raised my arm up the waist elastic was just under my armpit."

The dress comes in petite, regular or long sizes ranging from six to 24 - if you find that the size you choose isn't quite right, remember that M&S has a standard returns policy of 35 days from purchase which applies to online orders as well as in-store ones. Other shoppers suggested styling the dress with a slip underneath due to its thin material.

Meanwhile, M&S suggests completing the outfit with a pair of Leather Chunky Lace Up Flatform Boots to give the dress an edgy look for £79, alongside its Faux Leather Top Handle Tote Bag for £39.50. If you're looking to achieve a similar vibe for less, Primark has some budget-friendly alternatives when it comes to footwear and accessories.

The high street giant sells a pair of Lace Up Chunky Boots for £18, as well as a Top Handle Handbag for just £8 - a total of £82.50 cheaper compared to the M&S bag and shoes combo. Primark doesn't offer an online delivery service, but you can now click and collect selected items on the website to pick up at your nearest store.
