Apparently it’s amazing, suits everyone, v flattering on all shapes, yadda yadda yadda. Sold out in about 3 seconds earlier this summer. I didn’t like it much but the power of advertising....

Well, they’ve brought out another version of it. This one here

Does anyone have it and is it really as good as they say? Help save

  1. me from returns
  2. my money or at least help me spend it wisely
  3. look like a tit

am sure I've seen that they are doing this colourway in the dress too. Is it black or navy though! I can't tell.

banivani · 25/07/2018 11:04

I hate polkadots, but that stripe certainly works well on a jumpsuit!

MissusDave · 25/07/2018 11:20

Sorry I think it's hideous. Agree that the stripe looks daft too. It's so frustrating that everything is made from viscose and polyester these days, it's hot (and sweaty) enough in cooler cotton's and linens!

WeShouldBeFriends · 25/07/2018 11:23

Mine just arrived! I actually really like the print irl but then I fully admit my style is vintage verging on frump! I particularly like the ruched sleeves Smile

I think it looks great!

Westwing1 · 25/07/2018 11:46

Looks really great on you WeShouldBeFriends, I envy your slim figure.

Westwing1 · 25/07/2018 11:56

Just looked at M&S website, you look better than the model in it! Sizes 10 regular and 12 regular are out of stock.

banivani · 25/07/2018 12:08

I agree, looks good! Does sort of confirm suspicions about the figure needed to carry it off, the sleeves are quite extra ;)

WeShouldBeFriends · 25/07/2018 12:30

Ah thanks, although it also proves it's surprisingly flattering, my bottom is definitely bigger than it looks!

Gahbahboo · 25/07/2018 12:34

How tall are you @WeShouldBeFriends?

WeShouldBeFriends · 25/07/2018 12:40

Just shy of 5ft 5 Smile

Gahbahboo · 25/07/2018 12:47

Thanks! Do you think it would be ok on a 5ft 3 size 6?

WhentheDealGoesDown · 25/07/2018 13:45

Thanks nipersvest, I much prefer the navy for me it might camouflage my aged thickening waist. I have ordered it anyway as I am picking up another package from Marks's tomorrow so will try on in store. I have got a feeling though it may be a bit short on me at 5'10" as the model is only 5'8" and the PP above is 5'5", who it looks lovely on.

Have you got yours yet OP?

banivani · 25/07/2018 14:18

That's what I said, shirring is grand stuff to show off the arsecurve!

caterpuller · 25/07/2018 15:02

Ooooh this thread has cost me £39.50 x 2 now!! Have ordered both the black stripe and the navy dress since yesterday.

mrslebon · 25/07/2018 15:23

I have the navy. I'm 5ft 5 and a size 8. I bought the 10 and it's a little small. I'm not sure whether to keep as it makes my broad shoulders look even broader thanks to the gathered shoulders. It is a good shape overall but there's no getting away from the fabric that feels a bit cheap.

Itoldyouiwasgeeky · 25/07/2018 15:33

Ooh I like the jumpsuit nipers. I might even like the dress if it were navy polka dot, but the ditzy pattern with the stripe is just a really odd, off-putting combo.

WeShouldBeFriends · 25/07/2018 15:39

Do you think it would be ok on a 5ft 3 size 6? You might find it too long. My leopard one that my dh washed on 60 and shrank slightly would be a better length on you but I wouldn't recommend that in this colourway!

itbemay · 25/07/2018 16:08

waaaahhhhh just bought this, really LOVE it and 3 other sale dresses! - easily led me!!

FairUnfair · 25/07/2018 16:45

I have the animal print version. I love it. I wear it with trainers or gladiator sandals.

thedayismine · 25/07/2018 17:17

Baaaaa... I have just ordered the navy after clicking this thread and expecting something awful !
Have ordered a 14 though so will remain to be seen whether this dress can really flatter everyone.

Ididnthearanything · 25/07/2018 17:21

Hello!!

I’m back. Raced in to pick it up at lunchtime. I’m home now and have it on. Bought the 10. I’m a curvey 10 (boobs and ass). It’s a good size for me.
And.......
I quite like!

Lighting is terrible.
Here’s another.
It is long, it’ll be a no from H. I like the length.

If you’re shorter than me, (5’6”) it would be an easy hem-up job to shorten it.
