Tall options are available, too, from sizes 10 to 20, and the dress has been crafted from a supersoft tencel mix denim, featuring a button-through front and tie-waist.

Shoppers have left an average 4.6 out of five-star rating for the Pure Cotton Denim Midi Shirt Dress from M&S. One customer said: “This is a really great denim dress, perfect fit, comfortable to wear and looks good for casual or evening, loads of compliments. I am a mature lady who finds it difficult to buy clothes that are appropriate, however this one ticks all the boxes.”

A second said: “This dress is true to size. It is a lovely dark denim and fits like a dream. It can be worn with boots, trainers or sandals. Very versatile, I would recommend.”

While a third wrote: “A great dress for springtime. Very flattering shape and good quality fabric. Fit is true to size. Very happy with this purchase.”

Others left feedback for the dress, with one writing: “Perfect for in between seasons, it did come up large so I went for a 12 rather than 14.” Another said: “Good quality, slightly stiff but hope (it) will soften after washing. Petite is a good fit and length. Can (be for) smart casual or every day. Ideal for travel, comfortable to wear. Tee shirt under or jacket over if needed.”
