Marks & Spencer 'gorgeous' summer dresses in Per Una collection with prices from £25

Marks & Spencer shoppers are loving the new Per Una collection which is described as perfect for summer.

The retailer has launched its new range which features bold colours, striking floral and bohemian patterns which shoppers have been praising. The new collection includes dresses, blouses, linen trousers, sandals and necklaces, with prices starting from £25.

As reported in the Chronicle Live, a classy monochrome floral print dress is among the new summer collection. M&S promised: "This gorgeous dress will take you everywhere this summer."

The dress is the Linen Rich Floral V-Neck Maxi Tiered Dress, which is available in either petite or regular in sizes six to 24 and has a price tag of £59. It has already proved popular with five star reviews from customers.

One shopper described it as "wonderful" while someone else said it is a "great style for a bigger bust". However, a number of customers said that the dress came in a big fit, with one even saying they had to return theirs because it "touched the floor", so if you have your eye on it you may want to consider buying a smaller size than usual.

Another dress M&S highlighted was the new Pure Cotton Midaxi Tiered Dress, which is available in three eye-catching prints including a bright orange floral. Priced at £45, this stylish number has also received rave reviews from shoppers - one fan said it was "so comfortable and cool to wear in the cotton material", while someone else described it as "gorgeous".

Another shopper wrote: "This is a beautiful dress to look at and wear, it's going to be a favourite for me." But several reviews had experienced the same issue of the dress fitting "far too big" - suggesting that other shoppers buy a smaller size than usual.

Shoppers can style the dresses with a pair of “must have” sandals. The sandals feature a leather cross over flatform in colours black or tan for £59.

The summer shoes had a rating of 4.3 out of five stars from M&S shoppers - one person praised them as "so comfortable" and said they had even "made my clothes on trend again".

The floral dress can also be paired with a Denim Trucker Jacket for those cooler summer days, M&S advised.

The jacket is available in either cream, pale pink or navy and costs £45. More than 85% of shoppers awarded this jacket either four or five stars, hailing it as "great quality", "very stylish" and "good value for money".

However other reviewers criticised the sizing. One shopper said it was “far too big” and another added that M&S sizes "are all over the place at the moment". If you have any trouble with sizing when shopping from M&S, remember that the retailer's returns policy allows you to take items back to your nearest store or by post for free, typically giving you 35 days to do so or 14 days for sale items.
