This ribbed drop-waist midi from M&S is proving you don’t need to splurge for timeless elegance.
As soon as I spotted the M&S drop waist dress, I knew it was exactly the kind of piece my spring wardrobe was missing. I love an easy throw-on dress that still looks put-together, and this one strikes that balance perfectly. The fitted shape and classic round neckline give it a timeless feel, while the all-over ribbed texture on the short-sleeved bodice adds just enough detail to make it feel considered.
The dropped waist and gently gathered midi skirt gives the dress that soft movement I love. The added stretch in the jersey fabric means it’s comfortable enough for all-day wear. It’s the kind of effortless piece I can style with trainers and a denim jacket now, then switch to sandals as the weather warms up.

The dress also comes in a brown. It’s such a rich, wearable shade that feels perfect for spring and beyond. For me, this dress ticks every box: comfortable, versatile, understated and affordable. Safe to say, it’ll be heading straight into my basket.
M&S shoppers who have already purchased the midi-dress are raving about it, one person left a review which read: “I was not sure if I would like the dress although dropped waist used to be a big favourite. But oh boy it’s gorgeous on.”
Another person explained: Love this dress I ordered a (size) 10 which I normally am but maybe go down a size as big fitting.”
