M&S Printed Jersey Midaxi Beach Dress: A Summer Staple
Marks & Spencer's best-selling Printed Jersey Midaxi Beach Dress has been hailed as a 'great choice' by shoppers, earning an impressive 4.7-star rating from over 160 five-star reviews. Priced at just £18, this summer staple is available in three patterns: black mix, red mix, and dark brown mix. Sizes range from 6 to 24, though availability varies; at the time of writing, the black mix only has size 18 left, red mix is fully stocked, and dark brown mix is available in all sizes except 24.
Features and Fabric
The dress is crafted from a breathable light jersey fabric, making it cool and perfect for heatwaves. It features a flattering scoop neckline and slim spaghetti straps, with a chevron stripe pattern and a subtly flared midaxi hem. The M&S Collection describes it as an easy-to-wear wardrobe staple that combines classic and contemporary styles. Shoppers have praised it as 'the perfect beach dress' for holidays, and it can be dressed up or down.
Customer Reviews
One five-star reviewer said: 'A perfect dress for a warm summer day. Can be worn as beach dress, just casual day dress or dress it up for evening. I wear it without a belt but did buy a belt for a slightly smarter look on occasions. I have shortened the straps very slightly but it wasn’t a major issue. Great for travelling as rolls up quite small and doesn’t crease or need ironing. I love it and also love the price- a great find.' Another added: 'An easy summer dress to wear, comfortable and fabric doesn’t crease.' A third noted: 'I love it! It was so cool to wear at home during the recent heatwave. I shall definitely be taking it on holiday.'
Sizing and Alternatives
Some customers recommend sizing down, as one shopper shared: 'Had to return first order as it was too big and order a smaller size. Really annoying.' For those seeking alternatives, Roman offers The Strappy Midi Dress in a huge selection of patterns, with self-tie straps, a square neckline, and sizes 6 to 24. Next also has the Jersey Bandeau Playsuit in soft jersey fabric, available in sizes 6 to 26 with regular and petite lengths, though petite is out of stock in most patterns.
