Marks and Spencer's newly launched Animal Print Mesh Draped Midi Waisted Dress, priced at £45, has received glowing reviews from shoppers, earning a 4.8-star rating. The dress, available in sizes eight to 24 (with six and 22 out of stock), caters to a range of heights as it comes in petite, regular, and tall fits.
Design and Features
The dress features a sleeveless bodice with straps that cover the shoulders, giving the impression of subtle cap sleeves. Its boat neckline is sophisticated and classy, while the mesh fabric and waist-cinching ruching create a flattering effect. The flowing skirt has a hanky hemline that adds interest to the frock.
Shopper Reviews
Shoppers have praised the dress for its fit and style. One shopper said: "Love this dress..very flattering and feels fun to wear. Have purchased it for an autumn wedding, but it could easily be dressed down, too. Sized up and petite length perfect for 5ft." Another remarked: "Drapes beautifully and the petite is a perfect length for 5'1."
While some noted it runs small across the bust, one shopper said: "The dress was lovely, so I will try a bigger size." Another added: "Just a beautiful fitting dress. I took the petite and upped a size. Love it. Material is fabulous, very flattering."
Alternatives
For those preferring more arm coverage, Never Fully Dressed offers the Star Deer Aria Mesh Dress at £99, made from recycled polyester and elastane. Roman's Leopard Mesh Maxi Stretch Dress, now £25 from £50, is another alternative for leopard print lovers.
