Marks and Spencer shoppers rave over 'flattering' £45 party dress in 'fabulous' print
by Catherine Addison-Swan · ChronicleLiveMarks & Spencer shoppers have been snapping up a "gorgeous" dress that will brighten up dark winter days with its show-stopping look.
The Foil Animal Print Midaxi Column Dress has rocketed up the bestseller list, with its glamorous print catching the eye of shoppers ahead of festive party season. Priced at £45, the dress taps in to the leopard print trend that's all over the high street right now, with a glitzy twist of an all-over gold foil animal print that is sure to turn heads.
Made in an "effortless" regular fit for easy wear with a floaty skirt and three-quarter sleeves, the lightweight dress is perfect for styling with a cosy faux fur coat or sequin blazer to really make a statement at get-togethers this season. And it has earned rave reviews from M&S shoppers too, who praised it as "simply beautiful" and "perfect for Christmas and New Year".
One customer said in a five-star review: "This is stunning - looks premium and is so easy to wear."
Another agreed: "I adore this dress, well done M&S - it's beautiful. Looks fabulous on and fits well."
And a third shopper wrote: "Lovely dress and fit. Received a lot of compliments for its first outing."
Others praised the "excellent style" and "flattering fit" of the dress, with the outfit earning an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars overall. However, multiple reviewers complained that the dress was "too tight across the bust", with one person remarking: "The dress is definitely not for anyone with a larger bust."
For similar options elsewhere on the high street to stun this festive season, New Look is offering a Foil Polka Dot Ruffled Chiffon Mini Dress for £35.99, available in black or burgundy with glittering gold details. Over at Roman, shoppers are also loving the Black Foil Print Tie Front Fit & Flare Dress, priced at £58, which is covered in multi-coloured foil details.
And back at M&S, if you're looking for some statement footwear to pair with your new dress, shoppers have been rushing to buy a "fabulous" pair of boots that have been praised as a winter wardrobe staple for "years to come" thanks to their timeless style. The Wide Fit Leather Flat Buckle Riding Boots are quickly climbing up the bestseller list as the weather grows colder
Available in either black or brown in sizes three to eight, including half sizes, the boots are designed with M&S' 'Insolia Flex' technology that helps to ensure long-lasting comfort, as well as antibacterial padding to keep them feeling fresh. Priced at £110, the boots are finished off with a stylish buckle detail at the ankle, and have earned rave reviews from M&S shoppers so far - read more about them here.
