If you don’t know the acronym LBD, we’ll assume you’ve been living under a rock.
Though there is a grey area over whether LBD means little black dress or long black dress, but we’ll leave you to debate that one. For this piece, we’re taking it to mean the latter.
M&S has impressed us in recent years with its stylish pieces, and has shed its stereotype that the brand was solely for the mature woman – aka our mums and grandmothers. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Our virtual basket is filled to the brim, and one staple we are snapping up before it sells out is the M&S Pure Cotton Round Neck Midi Waisted Dress, which fetches £45. In our opinion, it is the perfect summer dress we intend to wear on rotation this season.

Crafted from pure cotton, this lightweight and versatile dress is ultra flattering.It boasts a fitted bodice, round neckline, and floaty A-line skirt that falls midway down the calf. Available in petite, regular and tall, as well as UK dress sizes 6 to 24.

The Pure Cotton Round Neck Midi Waisted Dress is oh-so chic and versatile, which is why it gets our vote of confidence.
The design boasts a round neck, is sleeveless, and has a fitted bodice, which is ultra flattering. The cinched-in waist beautifully contrasts the voluminous A-line puff skirt, which falls midway down the calves. Plus, it features button fastening on the back to secure the dress in place.
The higher neck, combined with the midi-length skirt, provides coverage, and makes this design ideal for wearing to the office, and more formal events too.
The pure cotton fabric is ultra lightweight, breathable and comfortable for hours of wear – especially in the warmer weather. Plus, it is easy to wash at a 40 degree temperature.
We can’t wait to wear this staple all summer long. We will pair with ballet pumps and a denim jacket, maybe even layer a tight t-shirt underneath on those slightly fresh summer days.
If we’re looking for an even more casual look we would style with sandals, perhaps trainers, and a denim jacket. This dress will also see you through any summer parties, weddings, and other formal events styled with wedges or kitten heel thong sandals and jazzy accessories.
For £45 we think this dress is an absolute steal, especially when we think about the styling options and all the events in our calendar we can wear this number. It’s a timeless staple we know we will bring out every summer, and holiday season for that matter.
