A bestselling dress from Marks & Spencer, priced at just £30, is being hailed as a wardrobe essential by delighted customers, with some stores already reporting sell-outs.
What Makes This M&S Dress So Special?
The Jersey Ribbed Midi Drop Waist Dress retails for £30 and is available in classic black or brown. It comes in sizes ranging from six to 18. M&S promotes the design for its understated elegance, featuring a fitted bodice with a round neckline and short sleeves, all finished with a ribbed texture.
The skirt is a key feature, with a dropped waist and gentle gathers that create what the retailer describes as "elegant movement." Reviewers note the fabric has a slight sheen and that the length falls just below the mid-calf, making it a versatile piece.
Shoppers Rave About the 'Flattering' Fit
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many emphasising how wearable and stylish the dress is. One shopper, named Jill, purchased it for a birthday meal, praising it as "modern, stylish and comfortable."
Another five-star review highlighted the easy wearability: "This dress glides on, creating an overall flattering shape. It is very chic... A posh frock, for sure." A third customer appreciated the cotton skirt, noting it would be "perfect for the spring months."
The enthusiasm was echoed by another reviewer who called it "so flattering" and a "must-have dress," even pleading with M&S to make it in more colours so she could buy multiple versions.
High Demand Leads to Sell-Outs
The dress's popularity is not just theoretical. Customer Cath shared her experience from the Leamington shop, where the design immediately caught her eye. After wearing it to a restaurant, she decided to buy a second, only to find the store had sold out. She was forced to order her backup online.
Another reviewer gave it four stars, summarising its appeal: "Lovely fit and looks good. Will be able to dress it up or keep it casual."
Alternative Midi Dress Styles
For those seeking similar styles, other retailers offer comparable options:
- The Brown Shirred Side Jersey Midi Dress from New Look, priced at £25.99.
- The Elinora Roll Neck Dress from Seasalt Cornwall, currently on offer for £22.95, reduced from £65.95.
However, for many, the combination of price, fit, and design has made the M&S original a clear winner and a sought-after item this season.
