IF you are struggling to find the perfect holiday dress, you aren’t alone.
Rather than spending hours in changing rooms, M&S shoppers are racing to the checkout after finding a dress that ‘looks amazing’ on everyone.
Pure Cotton Printed One Shoulder Beach Dress, £39.50, Marks & Spencer
While you might think this is too good to be true, you might change your mind when you see the retailer’s latest offering.
It’s hardly surprising as M&S has become the go-to destination for holiday fashion, with super flattering swimwear and designer dupe sandals for under £30.
However, it is the that has caught our attention recently.
With its bold red and cream print, you’ll be guaranteed to stand out at the beach but that isn’t the only reason shoppers love this fashion find.
As the name suggests, it has a stunning asymmetrical design with a puff sleeve that is bang on trend for this summer.
The dress is also super flattering thanks to its elasticated waistband and cut-out detail that highlights your silhouette.
If you weren’t already sold, the maxi-midi can be easily dressed up or down with the right pair of shoes.
You could even just add a straw bag and sandals for a classic holiday look.
When you are ready to head out for the evening, swap into heels and a small clutch bag – it really is that simple.
Also available in a classic black, this maxi-midi is a ‘holiday must-have’ according to M&S and it seems that shoppers agree.
Not only has the dress received rave reviews and a near-perfect score of 4.4 stars out of five stars, fans say it ‘looks amazing’ on everyone.
In fact, one happy customer revealed that she received countless compliments after wearing the dress out.
She received so many that she later bought the black version too.
Her review read: "This is a beautiful dress I’m so glad I came across this and the black one, fantastic for cloudier days or even an evening out WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Even got compliments. Looks amazing no matter the age."
Others agreed with another review adding: “Lovely dress! Perfect for summer/ holidays. Lightweight, easy to wear and minimal creasing!”
" This dress is lovely. It wouldn’t be something I would usually choose at 55 but I thought let’s see. I was not disappointed it fits really well and feels so comfortable,” wrote a third.
If you are tempted to pick up the M&S dress for yourself, it’s worth noting that is available online in sizes 12-24.
With some sizes already sold out, you may also want to visit your local Marks and Spencer to avoid missing out – especially as the dress is currently just £39.50.
Well, that is your summer wardrobe taken…now we just need the sunshine.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
