We can all agree that around Christmas time, bows are an emblem that will often be spotted on presents, festive trees, front doors and clothes. And Marks & Spencer has recently dropped a stunning dress that features this glorious, big and bold feature which has seen shoppers showering it in praise.
Rivalling last year’s viral H&M frock that sent shoppers into a frenzy, the M&S dress has a similar style with an all white mini shift shape and a giant satin bow to fasten it at the bow, which really embodies the phrase ‘business at the front, party at the back’.
Ideal with your favourite metallic or colourful shoes, sheer tights (to keep you cosy) and statement earrings, the £59 mini dress – which has a lining for added protection and coverage – comes in three different lengths from petite to tall with the most sizes available in ‘regular’ ranging from 6 to 20.

The dress features wide short sleeves and a crew neckline – ideal for layering with a necklace – and is fitted with a subtle back zip fastening to compliment the bow.
Despite having only recently launched, the dress has already received a handful of five star reviews which have hailed the design as a ‘fabulous’ option for party season. One happy shopper raved: “This is the perfect dress for the party season. The material is really thick and the bow on the back is perfect. I even ordered the shoes too. I can’t wait to wear it!”
Others have shared their excitement for wearing it over the festive period as one shopper cited: “This dress is so cute. Very stylish and I cannot wait to wear it over Christmas.”
“This dress is stunning,” added a third. “The material is nice and thick & the bow is the perfect size. Good length to the knee. I am 5ft8 and brought a 12.” They continued with a warning This will sell out so purchased now to put away for Christmas.
While the majority of comments were glistening, one shopper did warn of a slight sizing issue: “I bought this dress as I thought it looked stunning and it is really lovely. Very thick material. But I bought a size 12 and its massive on and looks really shapeless so I would recommend going down a size.”
