Marks and Spencer’s sell-out summer dress has made its much-anticipated return, delighting shoppers who missed out on the first batch. The Pure Cotton Midi Cami Shift Dress, initially snapped up when it first went on sale, is now back in stock in its original white fabric and a stunning new vibrant-orange color. Priced at £39.50, the M&S dress is a versatile wardrobe staple suitable for casual daytime occasions and dressy evening events. John Lewis offers a similar style dress in orange for £65, while New Look sells an Orange Jersey Strappy Midi Dress for £22. The M&S cami-style shift dress comes in sizes 6 to 24 and is available in petite, regular, and long lengths. Crafted from pure cotton poplin, it features a stylish mid-length hem, a square neckline, and a side zip fastening. The dress belongs to the M&S Collection, a range of easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that blend classic and contemporary styles. Marks and Spencer announced the return of the shift dress and its new color in an Instagram reel where an M&S insider models the garment. She accessorizes it with a straw beach bag, a gold necklace, and large sunglasses. The caption reads: “That STUNNING sell-out summer dress, this time in a shade as bright as the glorious sunshine.”
Shoppers have flocked to the M&S website to review the new orange dress and the original white version, giving it an average rating of 4.5 out of five. One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Beautiful dress. Simple style but looks the part. Versatile – can dress up for the evening. Fantastic price.” Another raved: “Must-have summer staple. Really comfortable summer dress for all sorts of occasions, nice simple detailing too.” A third reviewer couldn’t contain her excitement: “It’s soooooo pretty! A beautiful, flowy 50’s style summer dress. It’s nigh on impossible for me to stop swishing it back and forth when wearing it. It’s gorgeous and makes me feel fab!”
While most reviews were glowing, some shoppers had minor suggestions for improvement. One reviewer wished the dress had pockets, saying: “Beautiful summer dress, fits really nicely – true to size. Only one thing would be even better – if it had pockets, but anyway great purchase and I will wear this dress for the whole summer.” Another agreed, adding: “This dress is very flattering and conceals my tummy… which, as a woman of 62, is a blessing. I love the 1950s vibe. Only complaint is it’s a little see-through and we all like pockets in dresses and there are none.”
One shopper offered a helpful sizing tip: “Stunning dress, looks so expensive on and is beautifully tailored. Bigger busted women, do size up!” Whether you prefer the classic white or the vibrant orange, the M&S Pure Cotton Midi Cami Shift Dress is a must-have addition to your summer wardrobe. Its versatility and flattering fit make it perfect for any occasion, from casual outings to special events.
