Size up!

Yes, I recommend this

Great little dress. Lovely colour, quality fabric and feels really nice to wear. Very grateful to the other reviewers who mentioned the sizing; I'm a fairly standard size 10 and the size 12 I ordered fits me perfectly.

Nice but…….

Really wanted to love this and it does look beautiful on the hanger and it’s a nice quality material. Sadly I had to return as it was too snug around the middle in my usual size and in the next size up, it was massive everywhere else. I don’t think this is a true shift shape. Also the zip on the back is difficult to do up on your own . It would help to have one that you can thread a ribbon through to help with this. Great that the neck button is in the inside so that your hair doesn’t get caught up in it

Cord Shift dress

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely material. Wanted a cord dress in this burgundy colour. Fits well. Went for a 14 rather than my usual 12 so I could wear jumper underneath in winter. Smart but casual for work

Great Dress

Yes, I recommend this

Bought in navy. Great fit, flattering, versatile dress. Regular length is spot on, not too short and not too long - am 5’5” Has the essential pockets and will get a lot of wear over the autumn and winter with tights, boots and a long sleeve top underneath. Tempting to buy the burgundy also but must resist!

Lovely colour

Yes, I recommend this

Nearly very nice - slightly too wide in the shoulders which, with the fabric, makes the straps stand off the body

i Bought two of these for my daughter, one of each colour, and she Ioves them both. They're so versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on what top to wear underneath apart from just wearing on their own. Pockets too!

Lovely autumn/winter dress

A lovely dress for autumn/winter. I’m 5ft 1” and went for the regular and it sits just above the knee. I read other reviews and sized up and it fits well.

Great little burgundy cord dress for Autumn/Winter

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely little dress that I’ll wear with black opaque tights and boots for Autumn/Winter. I also plan to wear a white shirt underneath with nice sleeves. Can also wear a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. I’m a 10-12, 5’3” - got the 12 regular and it’s perfect. Very happy with this purchase.
