Fashion fans can agree that one of the best investments for your wardrobe is an outfit that you can always have on hold for numerous occasions.
With the summer season officially here, we might find that we have a few events that we need to attend for the next few months. Luckily, shoppers say you can wear one M&S dress time and time again.
The high street retailer’s Pure Cotton Printed Midi Shirt Dress has a near perfect rating and costs £39.50. Boasting the on-trend shirt-design that is everywhere this summer, it is both a “classy” and “versatile” addition to your closet.
Designed in a regular with a “breathable” pure cotton material, this dress has impressed shoppers who say it “doesn’t crease” and will be suitable for “hotter days”. Meanwhile, the bold all-over print elevates it into something you can wear to fancy events.
The design is made even more versatile for summer with breezy short sleeves, a trendy midi-length hemline, button-through front and collared neckline. Another standout feature is the addition of pockets that shoppers call “a big plus”.

One lengthy review read: “I’m 5”2 and 50 yrs old and bought a 16 Regular which I’d call a mid calf length dress, I have to say I usually need to wash everything I buy before wearing it BUT…. I was so in love with this dress I had to wear it out the same night when with friends, it’s super flattering and has generous pockets. I seriously wish they had other colours to choose from as I would definitely buy. I feel it’s a good all rounder for different ages.”
A second shopper praised: “A dress for all occasions. This dress is a perfect fit and the black and white design of the material looks expensive.”
Another M&S shopper wrote: “Spotted this dress in store recently & loved it instantly. It’s so versatile & can be worn for lots of occasions, dressed up or down. It’s flattering yet comfortable. I love the material and the sizing is perfect.”
While a fourth praised: “I’m 5ft 2ins and a size 20 and was not sure if this dress would be flattering but as soon as I put it on I felt fabulous in it and it looked great. The hem of the dress is just above my ankles which I love. I also love the collar on the dress and the sleeves have plenty room. A dress for any occasion. Well done M&S – a lovely, summery, flattering and smart looking dress.”
