Portfolio panelled wide waistband dress – new at M&S in size 24

A simple dress for all sorts of occasions in sizes 6-24

This dress from M&S’s Portfolio range is new in and has just caught my eye.

It’s quite plain but the detailing on it is really clever.

The wide waistband creates a really flattering shape and it’s a good length with nice upper arm coverage and pretty pleating.

I think this dress would be great for a wedding with some heels and bling and a gorgeous bag.  But equally it looks comfortable for just mooching around in with a pair of flip flops and sunglasses.

This is the kind of dress that you might not be really excited about buying but you’ll be really glad you did.  You can get it in navy and black but I like this purple colour best.
