M&S fans rave about little black dress that’s perfect for Christmas & say it screams ‘elegance and sophistication’
NO wardrobe is complete without a little black dress – particularly in the Christmas period.
M&S shoppers are raving about a new one being sold by the retailer which screams “elegance and sophistication.”
Their Velvet Collared Mini Column Dress has appeared as part of their new party range and it’s got “added stretch for comfort.”
The mini dress has long sleeves and a pear-trimmed collar around the high neckline – which is giving us Breakfast at Tiffany vibes.
Meanwhile, it has a chic keyhole button fastening at the back.
The dress will set you back £45 but is sure to be a long-term investment in your wardrobe – particularly if the reviews are anything to go by.
You can pick it up in a regular fit from sizes six to 24.
The person gave it a five-star review and hailed it as “elegant, understated and good value.”
They wrote: “Beautiful feel to material, elegant design, very forgiving for all my lumps and bumps!
“Very classic design and the Pearl effect neckline really gives it a timeless feel. Could be worn during the daytime as well as evening.”
She added that she had bought a size 14 for a looser fit and it was true to size.
The shopper said she would add a simple pearl bracelet and earrings for a “ bit of sparkle for party nights.”
She concluded: “Very practical and comfy on and great value for money. Looks much more expensive than it is.”
Another Marks and Spencer customer also gave it a five-star glowing review and said: “Lovely classy, versatile, easy to wear dress. True to size and flattering, the pearl collar really enhances and lifts it.”
According to the M&S website the velvet mini dress is a “luxurious choice for party season.”
They wrote: “It’s designed in a regular fit, with a timeless column shape and added stretch for comfort.
“The high neckline and long sleeves create an elegant silhouette.”
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
