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

I've looked a couple of times and haven't seen the jumpsuit either

Watchingtheworldgoby · 27/07/2018 19:04

The Istagrammers are now banging on about a newer one. It is black or navy and has a stripe down each side. It also comes in a dress. I can’t link I’m afraid.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 27/07/2018 19:12

Oh my goodness, my eyes!! I'll never be able to unsee that surrendered wife monstrosity... This thread needs a trigger warning

tethersend · 28/07/2018 12:03

Jumpsuit is here

MissClareRemembers · 28/07/2018 12:17

I just ordered the jumpsuit.

I’ve lost 2 stone over the past year and toned up a bit. I’ve also just got into Instagram. Combination of the two is costing me a fortune!

I collect jumpsuit on Monday. I suspect I’ll look like a munchkin in it but I’m a sucker for Instagram hype.

MissClareRemembers · 28/07/2018 12:18

Wow. My size is now sold out. Seems I’m not the only Instagram sucker!! 🤣

mrslebon · 28/07/2018 17:52

Beware the jumpsuit has an open back! Not even mentioned on the M&S website.

MissClareRemembers · 28/07/2018 18:03

You’re kidding?! Dammit. Ah well, I’ll take it back if it’s awful.

I also have a Instagram influenced dress from Monsoon that I need to return. It looks fine if I adopt an Insta pose against a brick wall but I can’t stay like that all day, so back it goes!

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 28/07/2018 18:20

That looks lovely on you OP! I initially disliked it but seeing in the flesh I have changed my mind. I am really tempted to order the jumpsuit, fussy sleeves don't tend to flatter me (suspiciously large shoulders) but they look good on everyone here!

tethersend · 28/07/2018 20:05

Oh bollocks. How open is the back on the jumpsuit? Is there a pic?

TrueBlue22 · 29/07/2018 08:47

I love this dress, I've got the leopard version. Sadly the navy one is sold out in my size. If anyone has a navy size 12 they don't want, I would love to buy it off you!

thedayismine · 29/07/2018 11:52

I am not brave enough to post a pic but I love the navy - wore it to the pub last night with white flat lace up pumps - a coral cross body bag and denim jacket.
Think it will get worn a lot.
Love the length and width of skirt .

likeacrow · 29/07/2018 11:53

Old lady esque.

likeacrow · 29/07/2018 11:55

I hadn't seen the pic of you when I commented. It looks like you can pull it off tbf

LassWiADelicateAir · 29/07/2018 11:58

I like it and normally I hate/ would not contemplate being seen dead in M&S.

serialtester · 29/07/2018 12:51

Oh man, I love the OP's one and the navy one!

Judydreamsofhorses · 29/07/2018 13:35

I picked up the navy version on Friday and am really pleased with it - I wish I had got the leopard print though. I’ll wear it with white Stan Smiths and either a denim or leather biker jacket.

Kochicoo · 29/07/2018 13:56

I've just picked up the navy one too and I love it. It's so flattering and I hope they bring out some more colours. I never would have found it without this thread so thanks OP. I think the woven viscose is better than jersey viscose for this style of dress because it doesn't cling at all. This is the 3rd surprise success I've had from M&S recently!

OverByYer · 29/07/2018 13:59

I’ve got the orange stripe one, and it looks lovely on. I’m not on Instagram so had no idea it was a ‘thing’

TheRealHousewife · 29/07/2018 14:09

After following the op initial link I ended up buying this dress Grin

Got mine and bloody love it! Really flattering and feels great on Smile

GlomOfNit · 30/07/2018 11:25

It's vile. And I LIKE tea-dressy sort of things, in fact I live in them. The horrible stripe which M&S reviewers are cooing about because it's 'edgy' (WTF? It's a frumpy dress from M&S, it is not edgy) makes it look like some hideous sportswear hybrid. The length is frumpy and would be appalling on someone shorter than the model. The shirred waist might be magic but could so easily not be, and there's no way it's going to work on every length of torso.

Did I mention the stripe?

I did actually buy the MN Flying Squirrel thing and that really IS fab! Grin

Watchingtheworldgoby · 30/07/2018 12:48

Glom That wasn’t a nice post when just above it, people who HAVE bought it have written how much they love it. It might not suit you. It looks great on some of the Istagram influencers. It is not a scarf where one size fits all but no item of clothing is......

And no I don’t have it.

Smallinthesmoke · 30/07/2018 23:11

I saw someone today wearing it striding through the courtyard of the Royal Academy. She looked really good in it, and the stripe looked ace.
It wouldn't suit me though- I'm about 3 dress sizes bigger than her...

OverByYer · 01/08/2018 14:27

The jumpsuit is back in stock if anyone is looking to order it
