Many lucky people will be jetting off abroad this summer. With that excitement, comes the dread of having to find a whole new summer wardrobe befitting of the holiday. But with the end of summer in sight, many of us are also thinking about our autumn wardrobes.

Luckily, Marks and Spencer is back with a range of clothes fit for the season. Its latest Instagram post, shared to its two million followers, is showcasing a Cotton Rich Textured V-Neck Knitted Dress.

According to shoppers, the 'gorgeous' dress is versatile, and can be dressed up or down - perfect for the beach or accessorised for an evening look. The knitted texture means it can be layered up for an autumnal look. It costs £39.50 and has been branded 'amazing value'.

The M&S website describes the dress as a way to bring "authentic style to your summer wardrobe." Its fabric has open-stitch detailing and a textured appearance.

Reviewers on the website were also in awe of the "stylish bargain." A fan called it: "An absolute stunner of a dress." Many reviews focussed on the price of the look.

A second shopper said: "Lovely easy to wear dress! Such good quality for the price!" However, others were concerned with the sizing of the dress.

"I found this dress did nothing for my petite frame and was a bit shapeless," said one reviewer. A second person agreed, writing: "A greater choice of sizes and I’m sure it would be great."
