by · Birmingham Live

Marks and Spencer shoppers are snapping up a 'delightful' £29.50 dress that recently launched on the M&S website as they 'love the in-trend colour' and the 'flattering style'.

The Jersey Ribbed Mini Skater Dress comes in a rich dark red colour that's perfect for the autumn and Christmas period. The fit and flare shape is designed to flatter the figure and it's made with added stretch for easy movement and a comfortable fit.

Sparkly lurex fibres in the fabric give the dress a subtle sparkle and a touch of glamour that makes it ideal for festive parties, while the ribbed texture means it can also be worn casually. Pair with black tights and boots, like these Leather Block Heel Ankle Boots from M&S, for a versatile look that takes you from day to night.

One shopper said: "Fabulous dress, looks and feels great on! Really good fit, nice quality, very comfortable - I've had some lovely compliments!" And Elsie added: "Great dress. Lovely, comfy dress. Great value, plan on wearing over Christmas."

Another reviewer found that the dress was 'not as warm as expected', saying: "Love the in-trend colour and fit of this dress. Thought that the material might have been a bit more substantial. Not as warm as I expected but ok."
