Marks & Spencer's £50 Pure Cotton Shirred Sleeveless Midi Dress has become a popular choice among fashion fans, earning praise for its 'beautiful colour' and 'elegant everyday' style. The dress, part of the Per Una collection, is available in a stunning light green pastel shade and a pale gold option, with sizes ranging from 6 to 20 in both petite and regular lengths.
Design and Features
The retailer highlights the dress's 'diagonal textured shirring that creates a soft, sculpted look through the bodice'. The 'gently gathered skirt' falls to a flattering midi length, while a back button fastening ensures a 'neat finish'. Made from pure cotton, the dress is designed for comfort and style during the warmer months.
Customer Reviews
The dress currently holds a 4.4-star rating on Marks & Spencer's website. One shopper described it as 'an everyday dress', noting it was 'too hot for today's weather, but will be ok when the weather gets cooler'. Another customer called it a 'holiday purchase', praising it as 'comfortable and elegant' with 'soft material and a perfect length'. Jean commented on the 'beautiful colour' and 'quality materials', while Maggy wrote: 'I am delighted by this new dress. The style and fit are good for size. The fabric is good quality and with the detail its value for money.'
However, not all feedback was positive. One buyer noted that the 'shirting on bodice seemed to sit awkwardly on a larger bust' and found the pale yellow shade 'looked very washed out and greyish', leading to a return. Another customer, Gee, said: 'I love the colour and fit, but would have preferred the skirt to be less full. Also pockets would be good.'
