WITH the school summer holidays just around the corner, it won’t be long before many of us will be packing our suitcases ready for a relaxing vacation.
But if you’re struggling to find the ideal outfits to take away for a hotter climate, then look no further than M&S.
That’s because fashion fans have been racing to the popular high-street store to snap up a frock that they’re branding the “perfect holiday dress” – and it’s a total bargain too.
In fact, one happy customer was so delighted with her newest wardrobe addition, she revealed it’s the fourth one she’s bought, with several others admitting they’ve nabbed at least two.
Available in a range of colours, including orange, navy and black, the ‘Pure Cotton Midi T-Shirt Dress,’ which retails at just £19.50, is a versatile option for any casual occasion.
Designed in a regular fit, it features a timeless round neckline, while the sleeveless design and breezy midi-length hem make it the perfect choice for the warmer weather.
I’ve now got four, they are fantastic value, don’t crease and are a dream to pack
M&S shopper
So it’s little wonder shoppers have been praising the in-demand frock for being “super comfy” and “great quality,” with others loving that the cut also covers bra straps.
Not only that, but the dress, which comes in a range of sizes from 6-24, has also garnered positive reviews for being “crease free” and a “dream to pack”.
And let’s face it, no one wants to be getting the iron out while they’re away…
It wasn’t long before M&S shoppers flooded the comments section with rave five-star reviews.
One social media user, who noticed that M&S seem to bring out the dress every year in the same price range, wrote: “I’ve now got four, they are fantastic value, don’t crease and are a dream to pack.
“I bought the navy this time.”
A second who was delighted with her purchase noted: “Lovely comfy dress, a maxi on me (5ft 4ish), good quality, great value, bought two in different colours.”
A third praised: “Super comfy dress, great quality & an amazing price!”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Fits well (sized down), looks good. Works for all occasions from casual to formal.”
Another chimed in: “A great well structured dress for such a low price. The cut also covers bra straps, not often found these days. Orange a great colour.”
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
A further added: “Love this item. Comfortable, great fit, washes well. The pockets are very handy. Bought 2, such a good buy.”
And one more commented: “This dress was beautiful and stylish without being overly unnecessary.
“The perfect holiday dress for me. The material was easy care but also good quality, and the cost was reasonable.
“This dress is worth every penny.”
