M&S is launching a glitzy Christmas party dress that is ideal for women of all ages
With Christmas just weeks away, Marks & Spencer has got us all in the festive spirit – from their beautiful decor to a scrumptious feast.
However, it’s not just food fans who have had their attention after the retailer launched their Christmas advert for this season.
Starring Dawn French, 67, the sweet adverts showcase the selection of festive items ready for Christmas – but trendy fashionistas have been particularly eyeing the comedian’s outfit.
In the first of a six-part commercial series, which launched earlier this week, Dawn finds herself stressing about festivities — that is, until a fairy friend steps in to help decorate her home and spruce up her outfit into something more flashy. .
In the blink of an eye, the comedian goes from wearing cozy pajamas to a glamorous Christmas dress, ready to host a party.
Fans flocked to the supermarket’s page on Instagram and swooned over her glamorous look, with one commenting: “Can we please get a link of the dress she’s wearing?”
“And are Dawn’s dress and sparkly earrings available?” another wondered.
The good news is that you can pick up the glittering little number – and not only does it cost less than £50, but the festive dress is also in stock for most sizes.
The Relaxed Textured V-neck Midi Dress, which retails for £45, is said to ‘channel effortless glamour’.
The midi dress is made from a shimmering textured fabric and makes for the perfect festive outfit that will certainly attract attention.
Designed in a relaxed fit with a flattering V-neck and ”refined” half button closure, the beautiful dress falls into a layered skirt.
Meanwhile, the pleats at the cuffs give the long sleeves some volume for a trendy silhouette.
Because the dress is lined for comfort and coverage, it is perfect for party lovers of all ages.
Available in UK 6 to UK 24, the showstopper of a garment is currently in stock for most sizes, but it’s sure to be a big hit, so race to the store.
The dress just arrived for the upcoming festive season and hasn’t received many reviews yet.
Christmas fashion tips from an expert
CLEMMIE Fieldsend, fashion editor at Fabulous, has shared her top tips for looking fabulous this Christmas.
AVOID: Christmas sweaters
They are no longer a novelty, they have now become boring again and do not belong at a festive party.
By all means, go all in for Christmas Sweater Day for Save The Children, but never wear it before or after that day.
WEAR: Burgundy
At this time of year you can’t avoid burgundy and it is a luxurious, deep and rich color that is a welcome change from the Christmas red at Christmas.
Opt for silky textures or velvet for extra style points.
AVOID: PJs
The trend of feather-trimmed combination sets has had its day and is so dated.
This year, don’t break out your hair-plucked pair and buy a new set, instead, still go for the satin two-piece, but stay away from the plumes.
WEAR: Sequin dress
Try changing up the sequins a bit by wearing them with a different texture or color, for example a sequin skirt with a tight knit.
But if you really don’t know what to wear, reach for the sequins, it is Christmas after all.
AVOID: Sequin blazer
There’s nothing worse than showing up to a festive gig that looks like the hired entertainment.
Leave the sequin blazer to magicians and strict judges, but always opt for a classic tuxedo style or velvet instead.
WEAR: Bling pants
Last season, embellished jeans with diamond bling were having a moment, and this year they’re going to be just as big a hit.
If you don’t want gemstones pinging everywhere, try metallic PU pants.
One customer who bought it liked the style but felt it didn’t suit them.
They wrote: “Unfortunately this dress did nothing for me so I returned.
“It was a bit short in length, the fit was okay, the style appealed to me, but it just didn’t suit me.”
If you’re still looking for that one and only festive outfit, shoppers are also loving H&M’s beautiful glittery bow dress, but you’ll have to be quick as all sizes are selling out quickly.
Another beautiful gown that is taking the internet by storm is the little black dress from M&S that exudes ”elegance and sophistication”.
