And what would you wear it with?

I am a 12 so not skinny like the model!

Ooooh nooooo. That stripe is weird.

thenightsky · 17/04/2018 16:16

Not nice.

I’ve kind of fallen in love with it....Oh dear.

I like it. It would be lovely if you are tall and straight up and down. If you’re booby like me it wouldn’t work.

KnockMeDown · 17/04/2018 16:20

It looks like something out of a Victorian workhouse!

gettingtherequickly · 17/04/2018 16:21

No, not nice at all.

Really like it, so unusual for m&s to do something edgy.

Lottapianos · 17/04/2018 16:22

I really like it OP. I would wear it with any flat shoes (don't do heels), probably white trainers like Adidas Superstars

SleepFreeZone · 17/04/2018 16:24

I really like it op.

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 17/04/2018 16:24

I really like it too! But I think you have to be tall and slim, and have small boobs, for it to look good

Alpineflowers · 17/04/2018 16:24

I like it and would wear it with flat sandals.

Size 12 is fairly 'skinny', so would look OK

athingthateveryoneneeds · 17/04/2018 16:30

I have sizeable boobs and don't suit high necklines. It really makes them seem even larger and droopy.

The stripe is quite cool but it doesn't work with the sleeves and neckline.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 17/04/2018 16:53

NB. I'm a scruff bag with zero dress sense...

Have you tried it on? I find things look really different when they are on.

bakingdemon · 17/04/2018 16:55

I like it! Looks like something you might find at Finery it & Other Stories

Thanks for responses! The test will be how it looks on... I’m still in my biker boots even though it April so might try with those.

I like it, you'll only know by trying it on if it suits.

tishhope · 17/04/2018 17:01

I liked it until I clocked the dodgy stripe.

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 17/04/2018 17:04

Sepia tinted, 40s style tea dress with a bright orange, sport luxe, go faster stripe

That's a "No" from me. Sorry.

Luckingfovely · 17/04/2018 17:04

I like the design but fear it will only work on model figure with no boobs!

starkid · 17/04/2018 17:05

Everything about this dress is dire

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 17/04/2018 17:08

I like it.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 17/04/2018 17:09

I get what they've tried to do - I like the slightly edgy attempt, and I've seen fabulous similar styles, but as usual, they've M&S'ed it up too much and ended up with something that's not quite there...

I tried it! It’s not perfect but I still love it, thanks for all the honest replies!
