A third shopper praised the dress after picking up the green version too, they wrote: “This simple cotton dress is beautiful.
“Perfect on a beach or sitting in the sun for cocktails. Fits well and the green is vibrant.”
“Fab beach dress although I think I’ll wear it out too. The green is a fab colour,” someone else chimed in.
But the summer dress isn’t the only reason to dash to your nearest Marks & Spencer right now.
Shoppers have also been loving some shapewear from the high street shop – and they’re perfect for pairing with the dress if you want some extra support.
Light Control Seamless Shaping Body is also incredibly affordable – so if you’re feeling the pinch, you’ll be pleased to know that this high-street find is only £12.
According to M&S, this seamless bodysuit ensures a “truly flattering silhouette.”
The sleeveless piece features “light control shaping for gentle smoothing with plenty of comfort.”
Not only this, but it is non-padded and non-wired for a natural look.
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds.
- Don’t ever spend on designer denim: River Island ”always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends”. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 – UK 18, and three leg lengths – and prices start from an affordable £25.
- There are no rules for jewels: ”Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.”
- Don’t forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there’s no excuse for not buying – or selling – pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
