Marks and Spencer shoppers have heaped praise on a ‘flattering’ and ‘elegant’ dress they say is ‘absolutely perfect’. Customers have been so impressed that every single review so far is five out of five stars.
The dress getting plenty of positive attention is Marks and Spencer’s £49 Finery LondonPolka Dot Midi Tea Dress. One glance at the garment, and you can easily see why it is so popular; it ticks a lot of boxes.
Plus, it boasts a versatile style that can be dressed up or down. Marks and Spencer’s Finery LondonPolka Dot Midi Tea Dress is cut in a regular fit, with a flattering waisted silhouette and a flowing midi-length skirt.
Puffy short sleeves with ruffled cuffs give a super stylish finish that is very on-trend for this season. Sizes start at a UK 8 and go up to a 24, although some sizes are already running low on stock so shoppers may need to act fast.
There are also two colours to choose from – red and teal. The dress is an online exclusive, meaning you can’t buy it in stores; you’ll have to head to the Marks and Spencer website to get it.
In the reviews, people who have bought and worn Marks and Spencer’s £49 Finery LondonPolka Dot Midi Tea Dress have been extremely pleased with it. One customer called Amaliana wrote: “Pretty dress sits very nicely on body, looks elegant and can be worn casually.” Ansabe said: “Comfy but feels elegant.”
Pinkcat added: “Lovely dress. Flattering cut for the fuller figure.” Ebbies said: “Tight just below your chest, however it enhances your body shape. I’m 5ft 10 and the dress was perfectly long on myself.” Liz said: “This is a really nice dress to wear when I put a belt on it, it makes it look even better.” Gan shared: “Flattering for any figure.”
Molly penned: “This is a really pretty dress. It fitted exactly as expected for a size 12, is a nice length (just below mid calf / shin) and the material is lovely. The sleeves are quite thick and a little unusual (and cover up those slightly saggy under arms!)
“I have already machine washed and drip dried the dress without any problems, but it did need an iron (inside out) to look pristine again. I am very happy with my purchase and feel it was worth the cost.”
Beti typed: “I bought this for a Forties Weekend as wanted a Tea Dress look, the fit and style were spot on (size 14) but as I am only 5ft 4ins I had to shorten by 7 inches for it to look right for my height – it was certainly worth the effort. Absolutely perfect for that occasion.”
However, among the sea of positive comments, there were a few people that mentioned some issues with Marks and Spencer’s £49 Finery LondonPolka Dot Midi Tea Dress. One person said: “Slightly longer than I would like but it seems to be how a lot of dresses are at the moment.”
Another admitted: “Nice dress, but did not suit me, returned item, material ok.” Jilly said the dress wasn’t suitable for cold weather, writing: “A lovely dress, mainly for summer as fabric isn’t winter weight.”
