Marks and Spencer has turned heads once again with a dress that has been hailed as "absolutely gorgeous" and ideal for anyone jetting off to sun-soaked destinations.
Shoppers have been raving over the latest summer wardrobe staple to be shown off on the retailer's Instagram page, the Linen Rich V-Neck Midi Slip Dress. Priced at £45, the dress comes in two vibrant patterns - orange stripe or multi-coloured flower print - and is made in an easy relaxed fit perfect for chilling in the sunshine.
The eye-catching dress caught the attention of shoppers after M&S posted a clip of it being modelled as part of a range of colourful summery looks on Instagram. "The perfect holiday wardrobe!" one fan declared in the comments section.

"Such lovely pieces," another shopper added.
Someone else exclaimed: "That orange dress!"
And another person insisted: "I need these dresses!"
The dress has an overall rating of 4.4 out of five stars based on reviews from M&S shoppers. One person branded it "stunning", writing: "Absolutely love this dress, bought the floral one. Colours are lovely and vibrant. Excellent linen and very well made.
"Very comfortable to wear," the shopper added. "I already have the striped orange one and had many compliments when worn. Highly highly recommend."
Another customer said in their five-star review: "Absolutely gorgeous linen dress. The dress is lined but isn't heavy."
And a third shopper penned: "Comfortable, gorgeous colour, fabulous material, amazing fit. Perfect."
However, not everyone was a fan of the style of the dress, with one shopper saying the relaxed fit was "unflattering" while a couple of others said they thought that the lining was "too heavy" and someone else added that it could have done with some handy pockets. If you're shopping around for your holiday wardrobe, 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.
The orange striped version of the dress was paired up with a matching Packable Crochet Bucket Hat, which is available in natural, pink or black and is priced at £17.50. Meanwhile, M&S recommends finishing the floral print dress with a Straw Cross Body Camera Bag for £29.50 and a Beach Cover Up Shirt for £25, both of which come in pink for an extra pop of colour.
Another dress featured in the clip was the Pure Cotton Square Neck Midi Beach Dress, which comes with a price tag of £25 and is available in three colours: black, bright green or soft lime. If you're shopping for summer essentials on the M&S website, it's worth bearing in mind that you can get the retailer's Summer Beauty Bag, which is full of skincare brands worth £155, for just £25 when you spend £30 across clothing, home and beauty.
Elsewhere on the high street, Sainsbury's has also been impressing shoppers recently with its range of summer dresses. One garment in the Tu Clothing range that has proven particularly popular is the colourful Bright Swirl Linen-Rich Shift Dress for £18, which was branded "perfection" in the reviews section.
