Marks and Spencer shoppers say £17.50 dress is 'perfect for a holiday'

Marks and Spencer’s £17.50 dress has been praised by shoppers as a “must-have for summer”. The Jersey Halter Neck Midaxi Beach Dress is made from soft jersey fabric that drapes nicely over the body, giving a flattering fit.

According to M&S, this strappy beach dress “skims your figure” and has a “flattering shape” with a long flowy skirt, making it perfect for any upcoming summer holiday.

You can pair it with simple sandals and a beach bag for a casual day look, or dress it up with jewellery and wedges for a stylish summer evening outfit.

Available in sizes eight to 24, the Jersey Halter Neck Midaxi Beach Dress has received great reviews from M&S shoppers. Many have commented on the “flattering” fit and said the fabric “hangs beautifully”, while others loved that it could easily be dressed up or down.

One happy shopper shared: “Perfect simple summer dress. Stunning, simple, comfortable and easy to wear. Great length, very flattering and great value for money. Would love if it came in other colours – e.g. navy and chocolate as well. Perfect ‘throw in the bag and run to the sun’ dress! “, reports The Birmingham Live.

Another reviewer penned: “Summer essential. Lovely comfortable and stylish, wear it casual or dress it up.”

And another fan said: “Unusual eye-catching dress. Lovely simple dress, fits well around the neck and shoulders and drapes well. Can be worn casually or dressed up. Would love it in other colours.”

A few clients noted that the dress runs large and advised others to go for a smaller size. One customer wrote: “Lovely inexpensive day dress. I wouldn’t wear this on the beach, too nice! A little thin but that’s okay in the summer. I wear a 14 and bought the 12 so comes up a little big.”

Another commented: “Great summer dress. Hangs beautifully. Went down several sizes to get good fit under arms.”

One pleased shopper praised: “Lovely dress. Love this dress, so comfy to wear, just wish it came in a variety of colours.”

“Beach ready dress. Very stylish. Great holiday pick. Comfortable and good value for money,” one fan said. Another added: “Good fit, nice quality, can’t wait for holidays to try in the sun.”
