Shoppers are scrambling to get their hands on a particular Marks & Spencer dress that has developed a reputation for being permanently out of stock. The coveted item, the Mesh Jersey Midi Shirt Dress, is proving so popular that customers are having to patiently wait for their size to come back in.
The Dress Everyone Wants
Priced at £40, the stylish midi shirt dress is crafted from a soft mesh jersey fabric, which M&S promotes as ideal for everyday comfort. The design features an open collar and a button-through front, with clever shaping through the mid-section that reviewers have described as flattering.
The dress is available in two classic colours – chocolate and black – and in a wide range of sizes from UK 6 to 24. However, due to overwhelming demand, the retailer's website is currently showing several sizes as unavailable.
Shoppers Rave About the Fit and Versatility
Customer reviews for the dress are overwhelmingly positive, with many five-star ratings. One shopper, named Linda, explained her journey to purchase the garment, stating she had to wait because it was always sold out, but confirmed it was absolutely worth the wait.
Another happy customer highlighted the dress's versatility, commenting, I love this dress. So flattering and wearable. Dress up with heels or boots during the day. A reviewer named Ann gave it five stars, calling it a lovely dress suitable for both special occasions and everyday wear. She praised the perfect fit and the quality of the fabric, saying she was so pleased with her purchase.
A Note on Sizing and Style Alternatives
While the feedback is largely glowing, some shoppers offered notes on the fit. One five-star review did mention the dress runs small fitting across the bust, while a three-star review suggested that more gathering at the waist could have been better.
For those unable to secure the M&S dress, the article pointed to alternatives. These included a Burgundy Cord Finchley Midi Shirt Dress from Nobody's Child for £89 and a Brown Button Up Belted Midi Shirt Dress from New Look, on offer for £26.24.
Ultimately, the consensus from buyers like Therese is one of delight. Her five-star review concluded that after hesitating, she was so glad she took the plunge. She praised the beautiful shade, the flattering ruched styling that covers a few bumps, and the glamorous effect of the long net sleeves, declaring it a great buy for any occasion.
