WITH the colder months drawing closer and closer – many of us want to add a few more pieces to our wardrobe.
And it seems the British retailer Marks & Spencer has done it again with fashion fans in a frenzy over a new design.
The new dress is perfect to layer up in the winter months and can be worn dressed up or casual say shoppers.
The M&S collection Mesh Jersey Printed Midi Column Dress isn’t going to break the bank either.
Fans of the dress describe it as ‘very flattering’ and ‘comfortable’, attributing these qualities to its ‘soft, stretchy material’.
It costs just £35 and comes in an exclusive size ranging from a 6 to 24.
Not only that but it also comes in two different colour ways – brown and blue.
M&S bosses say: “This dress is made from mesh jersey for a lightweight feel and a comfy fit.
“It’s cut in a relaxed column shape, with a cosy high neck and long sleeves.
“The design is complete with an asymmetric seam on the midi-length skirt and a striking all-over abstract print.”
People have described it as fitting true to size and say the cosy neckline makes it the perfect dress for colder months.
It boasts an impressive 4.6 stars out of five based on 16 reviews.
Happy customers took to the reviews to share their thoughts on the stylish dress.
One person wrote: “Beautiful chocolate colours & great shape, doesn’t cling to legs as slightly flared at bottom. Will be lovely with winter boots or dressed up with heels.”
Another commented: “Fits well and very comfortable. Soft stretchy material that ensures a good fit and no creases . I like the high neckline. Very flattering.”
“Bought this dress due to its lightweight and creaseproof material. Was very pleased as it skims over the body to give a good silhouette,” penned a third.
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.”
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Read reviews, so true does not cling, very flattering.”
“Lovely dress, fits well. Very slimming due to the A line shape of the dress,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Lovely winter dress that is lined. I am sizing up to get the looser fit and longer length as wearing with boots.”

THE DVLA has revealed its full list of banned 2025 number plates, with more than 250 deemed “too rude” for the road.
The new plates are set to be issued within months, but there will be some notable absences – including some new entries thanks to current events.
New registrations are issued twice a year, first in March and then again in September.
The first release is the year-number plates, with ’24 plates this year, ’25 next year and so on.
The second then contains plates marked with the year number plus 50 – so ’74 this year et cetera.
But drivers can’t go for any number they want as the DVLA puts restrictions on registrations which could potentially be offensive or insensitive.
Before the March round, the agency draws up a list of banned plates which cannot be displayed.
Using a banned plate can result in a fine of up to £1,000 and a failed MoT.
Now a Freedom of Information request from Regtransfers, a private plate sales platform, has seen the list release publically.
Prominent on the list are numbers banned because they could be misread as rude words.
These include variations AS25 HOL and PU25 SYY.
OR25 GSM is also banned but, unusually, ORG 45M seems to still be allowed.
Others have been struck out because they bear potentially racist, sexist or homophobic messages.
Examples include LE25 BOS and NG25 NOG.
Any references to war, weapons or killing are also prohibited.
Perhaps most interesting is a ban on plates ending in UKR or RUS for fear that they could be interpreted as alluding to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Similar plates suggesting political views are, likewise, banned.
Mark Trimbee, CEO of Regtransfers, said: “It’s always entertaining to see some of the plates deemed inappropriate by the DVLA, but there are also those that remind us why this is a necessary process.
“Personalised number plates are an excellent form of self-expression, but they shouldn’t be used to display genuinely harmful messages or views.
“As well as the usual sex and violence references, there are those subtle combinations that don’t seem to convey a clear meaning at first sight.
“With a little thought, however, we see how numbers such GB25 BAD, GB25 BOM, and GB25 SHT could seem to convey anti-British sentiments that might offend some.
“To ban or not to ban is obviously a bit of a balancing act.”
A WOMAN has revealed that she went to the Aldi wooden toy event, not only to buy items for her child, but to also nab bits to sell on Vinted for a profit too.
Atlanta Hatch, a 25-year-old mum from the UK, confessed that she sold items for double the price on the marketplace app, and as a result, has been called ‘vile’ by trolls.
The savvy mum claimed that she went to her local Aldi store the night before the event started and was able to nab a trolley load of goodies.
The event, which started on Thursday 10th October and sold out within minutes, saw shoppers race to nab limited edition toys, mostly made from wood.
Not only did Atlanta give some as presents to friends and keep some for her child, but she was also able to cash in a hefty profit too.
But people have been left totally divided by the mother’s claims – and whilst some didn’t see an issue, others described her actions as ‘shameful’ and ‘disgusting’.
Posting on social media, Atlanta said: “So this is gonna be quite controversial, but I did go to the Aldi wooden toy event and I did buy to resell.”
Atlanta claimed that whilst she had the intention of selling items on for a profit, not everything she bought was to resell, as she did nab some “genuine presents” too.
She explained that she was lucky enough to nab a beauty tool belt, three activity boards, a slow cooker, a biscuit tin, and a doughnut set, amongst a variety of other cheap buys.
The mother confessed that when she arrived at Aldi and saw the wooden toys, she called her friends to ask what they wanted.
Not only did she nab items for her pals, but she also claimed that she also knows “at least three other mums that did buy to resell”, as she stated: “It isn’t just me and to be honest, I stand by that I do it.”
Atlanta explained that a TikTok clip was made about her Vinted page, slamming her for re-selling the Aldi buys, to which she continued: “On Vinted, I got nearly 100 messages about how vile I am, I’m being reported to HMRC, literally any word you can think of, I was called it yesterday when I listed on Vinted.”
Not only did she flog items on Vinted, but she also listed the wooden toys on eBay too.
She then explained that she resold two wooden cakes for £16 each and the slow cooker at £20, as she admitted: “Yes, they were double, but they weren’t extreme prices.”
Revealing her “reasoning” for re-selling, Atlanta explained that if she didn’t do it, someone else would, so why shouldn’t she be able to benefit from it.
Whilst parents have slammed Atlanta for buying items that others wanted to get for Christmas presents, she explained that she needs the extra money for her child, who has autism.
She highlighted: “I could do with the extra money for a pushchair or the sensory items that neurotypical children also can have, but my child would need them more. I don’t see the issue with it.”
Check out what you can get your hands on this year.
The list includes, in no particular order:
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @atlantahatch0, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 398,900 views.
You are bulk buying for selfish reasons leaving others without

But social media users were left hugely divided by Atlanta’s claims.
One person said: “You are taking advantage of parents and it is shameful.”
If people aren’t paying your bills it’s not their business how you make money

Another added: “This is disgusting. Parents are struggling to afford to buy presents for their children at Christmas and you are bulk buying for selfish reasons leaving others without.
“I hope Vinted removes them.”
A third commented: “Yet people like me who genuinely want some of these toys for my twins Christmas but literally very little left!”
Despite this, at the same time, one mother wrote: “I rate this, get your bread girl.
“Honestly there are people out there actually doing bad things not like trying to make a bit of extra money.”
Whilst a second agreed: “I haven’t done it with toys but I made so much money reselling to fund my maternity leave!
“If people aren’t paying your bills it’s not their business how you make money.”
