The festive season is officially underway as shoppers flock to buy the sparkling dress worn by comedian and actress Dawn French in the newly released Marks & Spencer (M&S) Christmas advertisement. The dress, named the Chiffon Subtle Sequin Mini Tiered Dress from the Per Una collection, is priced at £65 and combines popular trends for 2023 with its layered black ruffles and silver sequins.
Fashion enthusiasts have quickly taken notice of the dress, which features a relaxed fit and a romantic ruffled trim alongside a classic v-neckline. Sizes range from 6 to 24, but certain sizes, particularly 20, 22, and 24, are already sold out. The demand for this stunning piece highlights the appeal of M&S’s festive offerings, which also include an array of edible delights.
Fashion Trends and Alternatives
In addition to the popular M&S dress, several similar styles are gaining traction among shoppers. New Look has introduced a Black Long Sleeve Smock Mini Dress currently on sale for £20.99, down from £27.99. This alternative offers a similar silhouette without sequins, making it a more understated choice.
Meanwhile, the Black Cord Balloon Sleeve Bree Mini Dress from Nobody’s Child has caught the eye of many, available for £99 but with limited sizes remaining. For those seeking a sparkling option, Next is promoting its Black Square Neck Flippy Mini Sequin Dress for £38, ideal for holiday parties.
On the M&S website, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One shopper rated the dress five stars, noting, “Fabulous dress for the Christmas period. Fits well.” M&S recommends pairing the dress with their Suede Cowboy Embroidered Knee High Boots priced at £99 or opting for Strappy Flat Ballet Pumps for £26, offering consumers stylish options to complete their festive look.
As the holiday season approaches, M&S continues to capture the attention of shoppers, not just with its food selection but also with standout fashion pieces like French’s stunning dress. Those interested can find it available online at M&S, but they may need to act quickly to secure their desired size.
