I normally wear an 8 but couldn’t zip the top of the bodice and had to exchange for a 10. I’m 5 ft 9 and the long length is perfect.” Another customer added that the dress was “Nice” but also had an issue with the sizing explaining that even though they are usually a size 8 in M&S they “really struggled to get the 8 zipped up.” The Pure Cotton Polka Dot Midaxi Cami Dress £45 and the Pink Satin Polka Dot Bardot Mini Dress £79 are both colourful options that would be perfect for a special occasion.
