Marks & Spencer's new Floral Midi Tea Dress, priced at £48, has already earned a perfect five-star rating from its first two reviews, with shoppers praising its flattering cut and beautiful autumnal colourway.
The retailer's dress combines a chocolate-brown base with delicate splashes of orange, red and yellow flowers, bringing a pop of colour to an otherwise understated autumn palette. The design features a modest round neckline, softly gathered long sleeves, a gently defined waist and a flowing midi-length skirt, creating the sort of elegant silhouette that Princess Catherine has championed for years.
Design and availability
The dress is made from 100% polyester and features a regular fit, button fastening and softly flowing skirt. It is available in UK sizes 6 to 24, with petite, regular and tall lengths to choose from.
One delighted customer wrote: “Lovely fitting dress ordered size 14 true to size very flattering”, while another praised it as a “Beautiful Autumn colour dress”, adding: “Close fitting dress and the colours are lovely, as usual very long so requires shortening”.
Alternative brown dresses
For a more glamorous option, a chocolate-brown midi dress from Jigsaw, priced at £225, features an elegant V-neckline, sheer blouson sleeves and a flattering bias-cut silhouette. It is available in UK sizes 6 to 18.
For a more casual take on the trend, a Brown Cord Balloon Sleeve Montego Midi Dress from Nobody's Child, priced at £110, offers a collared neckline, statement balloon sleeves, mock-horn buttons and a fitted waist, with handy pockets. It is available in UK sizes 4 to 18.
