Earlier this year Marks & Spencer launched one of the season’s best denim dresses, but it didn’t take long before it was completely wiped of stock, leaving shoppers desperately setting up alerts for the bestseller to come back in their size. Months later, and M&S has surprised us all by restocking the sought-after dress ready for autumn.
That’s right, M&S’s Pure Cotton Denim Midi Waisted Dress is back, and it’s already flying off the shelves (again).
Available in sizes six to 24, this versatile denim dress can be dressed up with boots and a blazer or kept casual with trainers and a cardigan.
Smart, stylish and comfortable, it’s perfect for year-round wear, and makes the ultimate transitional piece, with shoppers declaring it “easy to wear”, “versatile” and “super flattering”.
Why we rate it
If you’ve never owned a denim dress, you’ll quickly find that just like your favourite pair of jeans, it will fast become a wardrobe staple you’ll rewear again and again.
M&S’s contemporary style has loads of little details, which makes the affordable dress look so much more expensive than it actually is. We particularly love the front patch pockets, gathered three-quarter sleeves for a blousy shape and zip fastening up the front, so you can have the collar as high or low as you want.
The silhouette is also incredibly flattering thanks to the gathered waist, one shopper even said they receive “so many compliments” when they wear it out.
Another customer added that the denim dress is “a great alternative to wearing jeans”.
The easy-to-wear dress can be styled with pretty much anything and is certain to always look stylish.
Pair with comfy trainers and a cross body bag for your weekend plans, or dress up with some pumps and a blazer for the office.
In the winter, you can even style it with black tights and a pair of boots. So, this number really can see you through all the seasons.
What the reviews say
Hugely popular among M&S shoppers for its fit, versatility and comfort, it has more than 140 five-star reviews. However, some have recommended sizing down, as it has a roomy design.

“Fabulous dress. Very comfortable and easy to wear and can easily be dressed up or down. Good quality and I love the zip! Got in my usual size — it is quite loose and oversized, but I am happy with it being floaty.”
-
“This is a lovely dress, comfy and stylish, I had so many compliments. It does come up very big, I am usually 10-12, I ordered 8 and there was still room to spare.”
-
“So glad I bought this dress when I did! Had so many compliments on it. I’ve styled with trainers for everyday casual look.”
-
“An everyday dress that once on is comfortable, goes with almost everything, yet has a bit of difference with the zip, sleeve and pocket details. Soft fabric with a little bit of weight to it.”
-
“Love this dress. A great alternative to wearing jeans. Looks good with trainers or boots. Great value too.”
-
“I’ve seen this zip dress by different brands, all at a much higher price. This denim dress is very affordable, while keeping up with the trend. Would love to have it in a dark denim too.”
