The dress comes in three lengths, including petite, regular and long, ranging from size 6-24 depending on the option you choose
As a fashion writer, it’s my job to hunt down the next sell-out pieces hitting the high street, and this new-in dress from Marks and Spencer is a serious contender. Described as ‘elegantly understated’, with shoppers saying it’s ‘one of the nicest dresses I’ve ever bought’, it’s bound to be popular.
Made from 100 per cent cotton, the retailer’s Pure Cotton Round Neck Midi Wrap Dress is a great summer pick because the lightweight and breathable fabric will keep you cool in warm weather. It is just under £40 and has been praised for its ‘flattering style’ and fit.
The £39.50 cream sleeveless dress falls to a midi length and boasts a wrap-style front that ties neatly at the back. This creates beautiful draping across the front, which is perfect for disguising the tummy if that’s an area you feel conscious of.

Many have said how ‘comfortable’ the dress is, giving it a 4.6-star rating out of five on the M&S website. The dress comes in three lengths, including petite, regular and long, ranging from size 6-24 depending on your choice.
One customer said it was: “One of the nicest dresses I have ever bought!” Adding: “Great fit, great quality! Just perfect!” Another wrote: “Such a flattering style and great quality for the price.”
“I love this dress. I’m 5 ft 9 and got the tall. Perfect length. Very soft cotton too,” said a third, while a fourth commented: “I bought to wear in the evening on holiday and after that, for work. The fit is quite forgiving so I bought a smaller size than I would normally wear.”
Not everyone has been a fan of the dress, though, with one shopper leaving a two-star review, penning: “The material is lovely, 100% cotton and firm enough to hold the shape without being too clingy. However, I looked as if I had jumped out of an Ancient Greece or Roman history book. It had to go back, I’m afraid.”
But generally, shoppers have considered the ‘stylish’ dress to be ‘good value’ and ‘suitable for all ages’. And if cream isn’t your preferred shade to wear, it also comes in black.
For something a bit different though, there’s the Little Mistress Women’s Beige Check Midaxi Casual Dress, which is £45.34 on Amazon. The versatile dress can be worn in different ways, including back-to-front, with tie detailing that can be tied various ways to create a new look.
Or if you prefer the more ‘traditional’ wrap dress, we love this Cream Stripe Louisa Wrap Midi Dress from Nobody’s Child , which is £79. Alternatively, you can shop the Pure Cotton Round Neck Midi Wrap Dress from M&S here.
