Definitely needs ironing

No, I don't recommend this

I actually returned this item as I was so disappointed with it. One of the most expensive on the high street, but came out of the machine like a rag. Really difficult to iron. Much preferred the pack of two which wash beautifully and were only a couple of pounds more (for both). Avoid unless you really enjoy ironing!

100% cotton (yay) but has downsides

Plus side : 100% cotton (difficult to find) Downsides: frivolous bow which is time consuming to get right every morning. Gaps between bottom button and material is too wide - doesn’t not look right. Creases easily. Overall , a bit disappointing but kept for the material. However , had to buy a different one as my little one doesn’t like the gaps and finds the bow a hindrance.

Nice pure cotton dress

Yes, I recommend this

Pure cotton dresses are difficult to find, it will be good to have more than one model but this one is nice and it has a bow so that's the difference versus my daughter's previous one.

Great to have an 100% cotton option

Yes, I recommend this

Really good dresses and one of the few available in 100% cotton. Please do more cotton styles! My daughter hates wearing polyester when it's hot (and who can blame her!).

Terrible Shrinkage

No, I don't recommend this

Terrible shrinkage even when washed at a temperature lower than the washing instructions. Very disappointing as it’s difficult to find pure cotton school dresses.

Will shrink significantly after washing

No, I don't recommend this

The cotton is lovely , well made summer school dresses . The reason I am giving only 3* is that unfortunately it shrinks when washed significantly despite washing at 30 degrees and not 40 as recommended on the instructions . I would suggest going up 2-3 sizes to get the size you need after washing

Perfect style and quality

My granddaughter initially had school uniform dress with zip front but now refuses to wear that one after purchasing this button front dress with bow at back. Excellent quality and fits true to size - have ordered another 2

Very happy with this dress, great fabric and trims all over make it so cute. My daughter has an eye for detail and she approved this. Pockets and ties add to the look.

Disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

I usually buy the 100% cotton dresses, but this year the design has changed. The sleeves are puffy which my daughter really dislikes and there is a new tie around the waist that ties at the back. My daughter says this is uncomfortable when she sits on a chair as it digs in. The original design was much better.

Lovely 100% cotton but comes up very small

Yes, I recommend this

Pleased with this in terms of quality, but we had to buy size 7-8 for our fairly petite 5.5 year old so do be aware they come up pretty small! (We usally go up one size in M&S but I'd say +2 sizes for these is not too much).
