'Timeless' Marks and Spencer £35 dress shoppers say 'looks fabulous with boots or heels'

Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up a 'timeless' and 'elegant' dress they say can be worn for 'any occasion'. The Jersey Textured Midaxi Column Dress has been described by shoppers as an 'easy black dress' and 'simplicity in all its glory'.

Priced at £35, the midaxi-length dress is a go-to for the winter months as it can be worn casually or to work with boots or shoppers can dress it up with statement jewellery and heels for a Christmas party. Its versatile design means shoppers can also get wear out of it all-year-round.

The dress is made in a textured, cotton-rich jersey with added stretch for a comfortable feel, while the ruched detailing on the side and 'column' shape create a more flattering fit that doesn't cling. The versatile dress has received positive reviews from M&S shoppers who say it's 'a classic' and 'incredibly versatile'.
