M&S’ shoppers swoon over ‘perfect denim dress’ that ‘pulls you in all the right places’

M&S shoppers are racing to get their hands on the ‘best ever’ denim dress that ‘skims the body’ and is a ‘flattering style’ – proving that denim is the must-have fabric of spring and summer 2024 and doesn’t have to be limited to jeans, jackets and jumpsuits. 

Retailing at £45, the brand’s ‘gorgeous’ denim round neck midi shift dress boasts frayed details and a beautiful flowing A-line skirt that helps create a flattering, feminine shape. 

The fraying is a lovely addition that adds a bit of personality to the dress and it isn’t limited to just the seams; it also adorns the armholes and hem, adding a chic touch to the design.

Available in sizes eight to 24, and varying in length – petite, regular and long (although online, the long is completely sold out and petite only has a few sizes left) – the sought-after sleeveless shift dress features a convenient zip fastener at the back and is crafted from pure cotton. 

With a versatile style, this dress promises to be a breezy option for the warmer months and can be dressed down for casual outings or amped up with bold accessories and heels for a more glamorous look, with the frayed edges adding a touch of edgy sophistication.

Marks and Spencer’s loyal customers have been quick to heap praise on the dress, leaving numerous five-star reviews and declaring it a ‘good wardrobe classic’ thanks to it being ‘denim with a summer feel’, reports the Mirror.

One fashion fan commented: “Lovely length for us tallies. So soft and skims the body hiding most of our unwanted extras! “.

Another Marks & Spencer shopper said: “I love this flattering shape and excellent quality fabric. It can be worn as a casual dress or with careful choice of accessories could be dressed up for more special occasions. I will wear with a fitted linen jacket to maximise the flattering shape.”

“Love this dress! I’m such a jeans person, so really happy to finally find a denim dress I love,” added another. “Wore with a white t-shirt underneath and trainers and felt super comfortable. I already know this is in the favourites pile for summer this year as I think it’ll look great with different tops underneath or on its own. Might even work all year round with boots and jumper. Definitely staying in my wardrobe for a while!”

A fourth shopper declared the dress a ‘winner‘, urging M&S for similar designs. They added: “This is just the best, I love denim dresses but not keen on frills waists and general fuss which seems popular these days. This is PERFECT, simple styling, less is more, great cut, great fit great fabric. A winner M&S. More in this style please.”

Echoing these glowing reviews, another happy customer mentioned how the dress not only looked good but also enhanced their figure, saying it “pulls you in all the right places.”

Of course, some minor criticism did creep in regarding the length of the dress.

One review read: “This denim dress is very light and not heavy in any way. It’s a great summer dress. Although I am short, I love maxi dresses and this dress is just my style.”

Others hinted that it might take a couple of tries for you to find the right size owing to the length. Despite this, the dress’s popularity has soared and since its launch, it has remained as one of M&S’s most popular items. 

If you’re not particularly keen on the frayed edges, Mango offers a similar style with this structured button-through sleeveless denim dress for £50. It features a collar and button fastening instead of a zip.

For those who prefer a collarless option, the Sandra midi dress from Nobody’s Child is a great choice. Made with light wash denim, it cinches at the waist rather than using statement seams for a flattering fit. Available in sizes six to 18, this dress costs £65.
