There’s nothing quite like having a staple wardrobe item that makes you feel confident, while also getting compliments from others.
Which is exactly why M&S has won over fashion fans with its Cotton Blend Striped Midi Column Dress. A ‘popular’ item on the retailer’s website, it gets those who say wear it “asked where they bought it from”.
The M&S Collection dress, priced at £35, has been described as a “statement look” with its navy and cream striped pattern. Designed in a sleek column shape, many reviews praise its “very flattering” fit that is “not clingy at all”.
Crafted from a soft cotton blend fabric and featuring short sleeves, it is perfect for layering during the autumn season when the weather is in the milder stages. A classic round neckline and neat contrasting trim complete the look.
This stretchy column dress is currently available in sizes ranging from a UK 8 to 24. Ideal for casual outings, we think it would look great paired with your favourite chunky trainers and a waterproof jacket for the colder season.
From its “flattering” fit to its “easy to wear” design, it’s understandable why the Cotton Blend Striped Midi Column Dress is being snapped up fast by shoppers who say wearing it gets them “many compliments”.
One excited customer said: “I ordered this dress after reading a review on it. I am older, tall & a larger size, this dress is calf length, has a bit of stretch for a comfortable & flattering fit & is so easy to wear. On cooler days I wear with navy leggings & a denim jacket. This dress will see you from day to evening & I’ve had so many compliments, even from my 17yr old granddaughter. Washes well on cool & I dry on a coat hanger – no ironing. A great addition to my wardrobe.”

A second five-star review read: “This dress is beautiful fit. Very flattering, not clingy at all. Had so many compliments and people asking were I bought it from so pleased I ordered it great buy!”
A third customer praised: “I was a bit worried this dress might be a bit clingy, but it hangs beautifully and I couldn’t love it more! Wish it came in other colors. I am a 10/12 and ordered 12. Perfect!”
Another said: “This dress is super comfortable to wear and looks great on. I had another lady ask where I bought it the first time I wore it, as she liked it so much. Great value for money too.”
Some shoppers have criticised the length of the dress, as one said: “I’m 5ft2 and it’s to bottom of my ankle. May get it shortened or keep It long. Marks and Spencer’s can you please make all dresses available in shorter length not just regular and tall.”
