Worst Quality Dress And Horrendous Customer Care

No, I don't recommend this

This dress is terrible quality. The first one I returned because the strap wasn’t stitched properly and couldn’t get another as apparently they were sold out in Reading store. I found 2 showing online in the Newbury store so went there but no one could find the 2 that were showing in stock so that was a waste of time. I then ordered it online but when it arrived it had a hanger ribbon sewn in the front. I thought that perhaps this was correct and took it to a tailor and paid £20 for them to remove the ribbon. A couple of days later I walked through Reading M&S to find that there was a rack full of the dresses and they did not have the ribbon in front so this was obviously an error and should have been picked up during quality checks. I contacted Customer Service and explained the situation and said that we had paid for parking and the tailor to correct the dress and that I also had to go with a size 12 when the original on was a size 10 but I was appalled by their response. This dress has cost me over £90 by the time I paid for the tailor and parking etc. they offered me £12 in compensation which I didn’t agree to accept however they paid this into my account and haven’t responded to my emails since. M&S was always my go to store for clothes but this standard of service means I will not be going back! Shame on you M&S!

Beautiful summer dress

Yes, I recommend this

The dress is beautiful and is true to size. It is a beach dress but works equally well for an evening out and although it is a little see through this can be remedied with a little waist slip underneath for evenings.

Beautiful dress

Yes, I recommend this

Really nice dress but definitely beachwear as it’s see through. I hope to find a suitable half slip so it is more wearable for other occasions. Skirt part of dress hangs really well and flattering.

So lovely but …

No, I don't recommend this

The dress is lovely so pretty & fits perfectly but it needs an unskirt/slip preferably one that was built in - I rather expected it would be thicker fabric or said under item? Disappointing as instead of a slip on & go it’s now a thought process!

Lovely beach dress

This dress will be fab for holidays as its very thin material flowy, meaning you can see your underwear through the dress. Its a bit pricey for the material, will need an underskirt if I wish to wear it out with a beach holiday

Beautiful beach dress

Yes, I recommend this

This is really pretty, I love the lacy straps and sweetheart neckline. It’s definitely a beach dress as it’s slightly sheer. It’s maxi length (I’m 5’8) and the straps are perfect, not too long on me and don’t slip down. I don’t really need this but couldn’t resist as it is so pretty.

Poor fitting

No, I don't recommend this

Looks lovely on the website and the material is quiet nice. Light for beach/holiday wear although can visibly see undergarments. The bust area is loose and ill fitting despite my DD size bust.

Lovely dress but very poor quality control

This is a lovely summer dress, however there is clearly poor quality control on the item. I purchased a size 6 and the zip became completely jammed halfway down. I thankfully managed to return due to a faulty item, however had the exact same issue with another size 6 I looked at in store. Other sizes also seemed to have the same issue. Such a shame as it is not a cheap dress and would have been perfect for holiday.
