Marks and Spencer's 'magic dress'

You may have seen it in magazines or on 'this morning'. Basically it's a just below knee fitted, scoop neck dress with short sleeves in black (also comes in sleeveless red, velvet, a bustier, pencil skirts and a grey check dress). I had mine delivered today and after an inital 'oh god, it's a granny dress' moment looking at it on the hanger, when I tried it on I was very impressed with its sucking in qualities. It has this 'magic' inner layer (like they have in pants) all over it, and any excess fat is miraculously pushed up into your cleavage! And yes, you can sit down in it without splitting the seams. Infinitely dress up or downable with accessories, I think it's worth £70. Disclaimer: I am 37 and struggling to get my figure back after a c-section with my 4th baby (and so not a m&s person usually!)

It's very much based on those dresses that all the celebs were wearing last year. Can't remember who it was by. Some man designer...

thank you. The Galaxy dress by Roland Mouret.

I hate to think of people who'll get the velvet one for a Christmas party and have five other people turn up in the same thing...

Too much publicity will make it too recognisable.
'Oh, you're wearing that dress which holds your tummy in..'

V.true, it's not quite as nice a cut as the galaxy dress (sleeve-wise) and I've got the black in the hope that it just looks like any LBD and I can make it my own with accessories. I'm just grateful it fits...

I think if it made me look good I'd probably buy it too. Only in black though.
