Ok, so we’re getting used to this heat, right? As the third consecutive heatwave rolls in today, the novelty of heatwave dressing has turned from “let’s just dress like we’re on holiday – we don’t know how long this is going to last!”, to “ok, how are we going to do this heat and feel good while also looking polished for town and city?”
That’s where this chocolate brown M&S polka dot dress comes in. It’s a simple fact that a chocolate brown and white polka dot, compared to monochrome one, is more grown-up looking. No less playful, but just…more polished.
Pure Cotton Polka Dot Midi Shirred Dress
This cotton midi dress has that polish, and here’s why. It has a square neckline which flatters the face, the cute frilled shoulder hides bra straps, add a sculptural twist and are as anti-aging as a great pair of earrings. Trust me on this.
From that squared off neckline - with all important shirring detail to create shape above the bustline - the dress simply drops down in an airy, loose polka dot column that hits below the knee.

This column style is the main event of this dress, it allows you to look fashionable, while also staying cool without looking like you are shouting about it. One thing to note: the dress comes up big. M&S customers who have bought this dress recommend to choose one dress size smaller than your usual.

Of course, this dress is also perfect for holiday lunches and dinners, especially when dressed up with your favourite gold jewellery, and the addition a woven bag tucked under your arm.
This dress will look great with classic flat summer sandals, (the pairs in this link are down to £8 in the sale), but also with a little kitten heel mule – the dressed-up shoe of summer.
This dress just been released and, in the time it’s taken me to write this, I can already see it is selling fast.
