SHOPPERS are racing to Marks & Spencer’s to get their hands on the ‘perfect’ lightweight summer dress.
Some fashion fans are even heading out to get themselves a duplicate of what they already own.
The summer dress, which costs £25, is so popular because it “fits a treat” and is also purse-friendly too.
The M&S Collection Jersey Round Neck Midi T-Shirt Dress can be dressed up or down and styled with sandals or trainers.
Fashion fans insist the dress is “so comfortable and washes so well,” which may be why they “buy one every year.”
It comes in black, green and dark red, and falls just below the knee.
The Marks & Spencer’s website says it is “made in a regular fit from comfy jersey.”
The dress is complete with short sleeves, “making it ideal for warmer weather.”
It is part of the supermarket’s easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles.
Fashion fans who have purchased the dress, which is available in sizes 6 to 24, say the dress is great because it “doesn’t cling” to your body.
And it’s proving extremely popular amongst shoppers, as the dress has an overall 4.5 star rating, with 70 per cent recommending the product.
Many have rated it ‘excellent’ on quality, comfort, and value for money.
One impressed M&S shopper said of the Jersey Round Neck Midi T-Shirt Dress: “Lovely material and very comfortable with a fairly loose fit that didn’t cling to the bottom or stomach or thighs.”
Another added: “Fitted a treat, so much so I bought the black, black and white print, animal print and the blue floral. Easy to dress up or down.
“Comfy to wear. Pleased with my purchases.”
A third said: “The dress is a perfect fit and very comfortable and stylish.”
Whilst a fourth wrote: “Love this dress, buy one every year because they are so comfortable to wear and wash so well.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
“Perfect for summer months, great price too! Highly recommend it.”
And as many Brits prepare to jet across seas for their summer holidays, one shopper believes this dress is an ideal one to pack into your suitcase.
They wrote: “Perfect for on holiday, loose so cool, can also be worn at home on a hot day.”
However, for tall fashion fans – this dress hasn’t been so favoured by them as one wrote: “Great dress but it’s too short please make it available as long as it was last year.”
