Marks and Spencer's new Cotton Rich Ribbed Midi Column Dress, priced at £28, has become an instant hit among shoppers seeking a comfortable and stylish option for warm weather. The dress, which arrived on the M&S website recently, has already sold out in some sizes and options, reflecting its popularity.
Design and Features
The dress is available in UK sizes 6 to 24 and comes in three lengths: petite, regular, and tall. Described as a 'day-to-evening dress', it features a cotton-rich ribbed fabric that offers stretch and comfort for everyday wear. Short sleeves provide a breezy feel while offering some arm coverage, and button detailing adds interest to the classic little black dress silhouette.
Shoppers can style the dress for work with ballet flats or casually with sandals for shopping or lunch. The versatile design has earned it an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five stars on the M&S website.
Shopper Reviews
One reviewer praised the dress: "What a lovely dress, I wore it for the first time today and received a lovely compliment on what a beautiful dress I was wearing - it looks far more expensive than the price paid." Another wrote: "The best dress ever. Gorgeous and comfy cotton dress, was wearing in heatwave and felt great. Impressed with quality, design and even more with price."
A third customer commented on the fit: "Lovely. Good fit - though I bought a size smaller than I think I really am - very elegant and eye-catching. Nowhere to hide though!" Another reviewer highlighted the breathable material: "Fantastic. The dress is beautiful, true to size and the material is ribbed cotton - great value for money."
Fit Considerations
While most reviews are positive, one shopper noted that the dress was "too narrow and clingy around my bottom," though another said it was a "perfect fit." The dress is made from 95% cotton, contributing to its breathability.
Alternatives on the High Street
For those seeking similar styles, Mango's £22.99 Twist Strap Midi Dress, available at ASOS, offers a sleeveless alternative. Roman's khaki Ribbed Stretch Midi Dress costs £25 and has received only five-star reviews. Both provide comparable options for summer dressing.
