I came across this dress on their website when browsing for their linen shift dresses, which I do like - immediate thought, dressing gown or bath wrap.
Saw the title of this thread and so not surprised it's come up here. I'm the least fashion conscious Mum here, so quite pleased it's universally disliked, it boosts my confidence. That doesn't say much when it comes to M&S these days though. Hideous. How do they continually get it so wrong when public opinion gives them so many clues. Reviews are quite revealing - as indeed is the top of the dress it would seem.
Shame really. M&S is heading in the wrong direction fast.
