The M&S Collection Jersey Midi Column Dress isn’t a bank breaker, either. 

It costs £29.50 a piece and is available from sizes 6 to 24, as well as in three lengths of petite, regular and tall. 

A blurb reads: “This jersey column dress is a versatile piece for your wardrobe. 

“It's made to be a regular fit, with added stretch for comfort.

“The long-sleeved design is complete with a round neckline and a midi-length hem.”

Shoppers have flogged to the review section to weigh in on their autumn purchase. 

“This is a beautiful dress,” one beamed. 

“It looks really great just on its own, or whatever your style is. 

“I prefer a more casual look worn with ankle boots, a wide belt and scarf, which looks amazing. 

“It’s excellent quality, a great fit and very flattering.”

Others gushed over the “elegant” fit that pairs well with a “gold bangle and a gold necklace to jazz it up a bit".

Another shopper reviewed: “It arrived screwed up in its bag but hung on a hanger, the creases dropped out by morning. 

“I tried on and it’s perfect; not clingy, hangs well, looks good, hides lumps and bumps, and it will work on many occasions.”

The main consensus is that it is a “good plain dress that is great for casual and formal occasions”.

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. 

This isn’t the only autumn buy that M&S shoppers have been raving about recently. 

Last month, a number were rushing to buy a Chanel-inspired “chic” cardigan as seen on Lorraine.
