Marks and Spencer fans are showering praise on a budget £19.50 Summer dress that has been hailed 'flattering', and is said to "cling in the right places and skim over the lumps and bumps." The £19.50 M&S jersey dress is versatile enough to be dressed up or down for events like picnics, BBQs, Summer weddings, holidays and the office - and one fashion fan says she wore it to Ascot.
M&S' £19.50 Jersey V-Neck Midi T-Shirt Dress is made from a soft and pure cotton jersey fabric that will help to keep the body cool on hot Summer days. It is cut to a comfy regular fit with cap sleeves and a flattering wide v-neckline.
The dress hangs with a flattering drape that will help to disguise 'mum tums' and lumps and bumps. It can be paired with trainers or sandals for a more casual look, or worn with wedges for more dressy occasions.

The £19.50 Marks and Spencer dress comes in sizes small to extra large. It can be found in four different colours - Black, Electric Blue, Copper and Teal.
The £19.50 Summer dress has an average rating of 4.1 stars on the M&S website. Shoppers have praised its 'flattering' fit, while others have been impressed by how versatile it is, and say they have bought it in several different colours.
One four-star reviewer who bought the budget M&S Summer dress to wear for Royal Ascot wrote: "I was in store looking at print dresses to wear to Ascot. By chance I spotted this in copper and though it is plain, teamed with nude shoes and bag and chunky silver jewellery it looked great. I usually buy a 14 and the medium fits well. I note some reviews mention shrinking but as I wash these type of garments by hand don't envisage a problem."
A second shopper said of the £19.50 Summer dress: "Nice loose fitting dress that is ideal for the hot weather. I'm a 14/16 and bought the large size which is fine. I'm 5' 2" and it comes somewhere between mid-calf and my ankles."
Giving the dress five stars, somebody else wrote: "Lovely dress ideal for the hot weather, i bought another one in rusty colour." "Easy to wear black dress which can be dressed up or down. I bought the medium and I am size 12/14 and it is loose without being too big. It is light so will be great for taking on holiday," penned another.
Somebody else wrote: "This is an easy to wear cool and comfortable dress. It’s true to size." "I purchased medium in electric blue. The colour is gorgeous and the dress fits lovely, not too clingy and just the right length for me. The dress is at the right price point. Very pleased, and have had compliments when wearing," said another fashion fan.
Another customer raved: "At last a T-shirt dress that does not have a high round neck! More please M&S, including T-shirts. I have this dress in 3 different colours. It is great for travel, work, beach, or dress up for evenings. I wore the blue one (first purchase) in Antigua, and it was perfect. I'm a comfortable size 22 and bought XL. It clings in the right places, and skims over the lumps and bumps."
"Super comfy, great colours. Lots of compliments. Would wear to the beach, to lunch, sightseeing," said yet another impressed shopper.
Some did comment that the material is on the thinner side. Others said it can crease easily, and needs ironing before wearing.
For those wanting a comfortable T-shirt dress with a higher neck, River Island's £26 Stone T-Shirt Midi dress is a slightly more expensive option. New Look has a shorter option - its £15.99 Roll Sleeve Mini T-Shirt Dress - which comes in three different colours.
