Nice practical dress in lovely material

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely cut, convenient pockets and I love the cotton material because it’s so breathable, light and comfy for the kids. This is my go-to summer dress for my daughter. The space between the lowest button and the waist does gape a bit but otherwise it is great.

Sensible school dress.

Yes, I recommend this

Good practical school dress although I think it will need a good iron as the material becomes very creased in the wash.

Experienced a few problems

Yes, I recommend this

3rd time lucky! I originally ordered online x2 of the same age 8-9 size, however the skirt section on one of them was a good 3 inches longer (far too long for the age size) and the lace on one of the sleeves was hardly visible as it was really badly stitched so I sent it back. Ordered another one age 8-9, however when I got home it looked far too small against the other one I have although the card tag said age 8-9 but then I noticed that the material tags sewn into the dress said age 7-8, so another return!! Ordered a 3rd time and success, finally after 3 car journey trips! Matches the other one exactly.

Lovely dress, but creases easily

Lovely dress, especially the pockets, but material is v creased when out of the wash! A diff M&S summer school dress that we have doesn't need ironing at all.

Disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

Dress is good quality but it is let down by the quality of the buttons and the buttonholes. Both are in the wrong place so if the wearer is stretching or turning the button pops open. This is on a normal size of child.

Great quality fabric and good fit

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely quality fabric. True to size. Looks very smart on my 5 year old. My only complaint is not enough buttons. The bottom gapes open a little so could do with an extra button. But it's still the best looking school dress we've bought

Would not buy again

No, I don't recommend this

These dresses are a pretty style and would be great if they were made from a different material as they are so so so hard to iron that even when you’ve ironed them to death, they’re still creased and you might as well not have bothered.

Great dress

Yes, I recommend this

Material and style are fab. They may have recently changed the sizing as there’s a huge difference in ages 11-12 and 12-13 for my tall, slim 9yr old! I buy these every year as the others just don’t fit her well and look age appropriate. She has been able to do the buttons for a while now as they’re big enough to grip and the holes between the buttons don’t gape. These dresses cost a lot for what they are but I have to pay it to be happy sending her to school smartly dressed.

I love it is pure cotton, but it shrinks!

Yes, I recommend this

I buy this dress every year as it is the only pure cotton option. I wish it was organic cotton. The dress shrinks a lot! To the extent you need to go up one to two sizes. It 100% will need a thorough iron every time. I find whether line or tumble dried it is astonishingly wrinkled after washing. I wish the lace detailing was on top of the dress rather than attached to the end of the sleeve. It is pretty, but we are buying a pure cotton dress due to sensitive skin. I’m going to keep buying this as it is the only pure cotton option but the dress could use some serious tweaks. It is pretty and comfortable according to my daughter.

I usually buy uniform from Sainsbury's but when I last looked every item had been treated with teflon. I was happy to find these pure cotton dresses which also stated that they were PFA free! They do take a bit of ironing but I'd much rather that! Thank you M&S
