Marks & Spencer has launched a new knitted dress that shoppers are hailing as the perfect solution for cold winter days, with one key colour already selling out online.
A Cosy Winter Essential
The retailer's Cloud-Yarn Ribbed Relaxed Mini Knitted Dress is designed for ultimate comfort. Crafted from a specially developed 'cloud-yarn', M&S promises it delivers a 'sumptuously soft feel'. The design features a ribbed texture, a relaxed fit, and dropped shoulders, creating what the brand describes as an 'easy silhouette'.
Priced at £38, the dress was initially available in two colours: vanilla and a dark khaki green. However, due to high demand, the green option has already sold out on the M&S website. The vanilla shade remains in stock in sizes from XS to XL.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Warmth and Comfort
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting its suitability for the season. One five-star review from a shopper named Leah stated: "Lovely thick jumper dress, fits nicely with extra layers underneath for snowy days."
Another four-star reviewer provided detailed insight, noting: "It’s a very easy comfortable tunic dress to wear. Good weight for warmth with the added bonus for me being non-itchy." This point about the fabric being non-irritating was echoed by several buyers, making it a standout feature for those with sensitive skin.
While most reviews were glowing, some offered constructive notes on fit. A customer named Lynie, who is 5'9", gave three stars, commenting that it was more of a "long jumper rather than dress." Another reviewer mentioned it was "maybe a bit short," but still praised the soft material and comfort.
How It Compares to Similar Styles
Shoppers looking for alternative knitted dresses can find similar styles elsewhere. New Look offers a Mink Cable Knit Crew Mini Dress, currently on sale for £23.99, reduced from £39.99. Meanwhile, Next sells a Supersoft Ribbed Sleeve Knitted Midi Jumper Dress for an identical £38.
Despite these competitors, the M&S design has clearly captured the attention of British shoppers seeking a reliable, cosy layer. Its rapid sell-out in one colourway underscores its popularity as a 'comfy' winter wardrobe staple that promises both warmth and style during the colder months.
