Capital FM presenter Sian Welby has been spotted wearing a new satin lace dress from Marks and Spencer, priced at £46, which is being hailed as the perfect outfit for the upcoming festive season. The dress, part of the M&S Collection, features a black satin finish with lace detailing and is available in sizes six to 18, with petite, regular, and tall lengths.
Welby showcased the dress in the second episode of M&S's new YouTube series 'Love That', where she paired it with a £49.50 Relaxed Single Breasted Blazer from the same retailer. Speaking about the outfit, she said: 'I've gone quite bold. This is quite cool, we always talk about that whole 'could you re-purpose something'? You really could just go out after work in this [dress].'
The dress features darts at the bust for a tailored fit and relatively thick straps that are compatible with regular bras, offering both style and comfort. Its V-neckline and skirt from the knee down are trimmed with lace, giving it a boho yet sophisticated look reminiscent of Sienna Miller's style.
For those seeking more coverage, alternatives include Nobody's Child's Black Polka Dot Jacquard Angela Midi Dress at £79, or ASOS DESIGN's boy mini dress with lace hem at £27.20. The M&S dress can be dressed up with heels and jewellery or dressed down with boots and a denim jacket.
As a new addition to the website, the dress has yet to receive customer reviews. However, shoppers are advised to consider wearing a slip underneath due to the silky material's tendency to ride up or cling.
