FASHION fans are raving about a 'very flattering' dress from M&S – and it's perfect for not only Christmas Day, but New Year parties too.
So if you're looking for a last minute festive find, you've come to the right place and will need to check this out.
Shoppers are praising the stunning midaxi dress they’ve labelled perfect for any occasion.
And even better, it's now on sale too.
The Jersey Round Neck Midaxi Column Dress was once priced at £39.50, but now, luckily for those looking to save pennies where possible, it's been slashed down to only £21.
The feminine jersey dress, which is a gorgeous 'forest green' colour, features ruched detailing and is cut in a column shape.
You can order it from M&S now, or find it in stores.
It’s got slightly flared long sleeves and a midaxi-length flowing skirt – and it's perfect for making a statement.
The dress is an easy-to-wear wardrobe staple that combines classic and contemporary styles and is sure to turn heads this festive season.
This frock is available in a variety of different sizes – with petite, regular and long options available.
It ranges from a size 6 to a size 24, making it perfect for a variety of different body shapes.
However, the deep, earthy green dress is selling out fast, so you'll need to move fast if you want to nab it.
The frock now has an average rating of 4.3 out of five, with shoppers claiming the length is 'perfect' and describing it as 'true to size'.
Shoppers flocked to the M&S website to praise the dress, hailing it as 'versatile', 'flattering', and 'comfortable'.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
"M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
"A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
"Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
"The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
"Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
"After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
"Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year."
One woman said: “This is a very versatile dress. I wore it to a wedding and felt comfortable all day and will wear it again for Christmas and New Year parties. Great material, no crushing and washes like a ribbon.”
Another wrote: “Ordered online and was unsure what the fabric was going to be like. However, [I'm] delighted with it! Fabric drapes beautifully. Great dress for the price.”
It looks as good on me as it did on Mel B! Love the quality and loved the super affordable price

A third beamed: “Fab dress, great colour and looks lovely on with ruching to hide the tummy area."
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Absolutely loved it. Gorgeous fit, very flattering and a lovely colour.”
If that wasn't all, one fashionista explained: “I wore this to a family birthday lunch and got lots of compliments, it's an easy-to-wear dress, looks great with heeled boots for autumn/winter."
Christmas Fashion Tips from an Expert
CLEMMIE Fieldsend, Fashion Editor at Fabulous, has shared her top tips for looking fabulous this Christmas.
AVOID: Christmas jumpers
No longer a novelty gag, they're now gone back to being naff and have no place at a festive party.
By all means, go all in for Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children, but never wear it before or after that day.
WEAR: Burgundy
You can't escape burgundy at this time of year and it’s a luxury, deep and rich colour that is a welcome break from Santa-red at Christmas.
Opt for silky textures or velvet for extra style points.
AVOID: PJs
The trend of feather trimmed co-ords has had its day and is so dated.
Don't pull out your hair plucked pair this year, and don't get a new set, instead still go for the satin two-piece but just steer clear of the plumes.
WEAR: Sequin Dress
Try to switch up sequins slightly by wearing them with a different texture or colour, eg a sequin skirt with a sleek knit.
But when you're really stuck on what to wear reach for the sequins, it is Christmas after all.
AVOID: Sequin blazer
Nothing worse than showing up to a festive do looking like the hired entertainment.
Leave the sequin blazer to magicians and Strictly judges, instead always reach for a classic tux style or velvet.
WEAR: Bling trousers
Last party season embellished jeans with diamante bling had a moment, and this year they're going to be as much of a hit.
If you don't want gemstones pinging off wherever you go then try metallic, PU trousers.
And not only are fashion fans loving the dress, but Spice Girl Mel B is a fan too.
Scary Spice, 49, recently joined hosts AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay on ITV's TV show M&S: Dress the Nation.
The curly-haired singer looked stunning in the chic green dress as she appeared as a guest judge.
And one shopper was keen to share this in her review, as she expressed: “After seeing this on the TV, I thought I would give it a try. It looks as good on me as it did on Mel B! Love the quality and loved the super affordable price.”
