There’s still time to bag the perfect Christmas Day or NYE outfit, and M&S shoppers are raving about this stunning polka dot dress that boasts a flattering elasticated waist.

This Polka Dot Ruffle Midi Tiered Dress is priced at £49.50, and features a swishy mid-length tiered skirt with long blouson sleeves and a neat round neckline which fastens securely at the back with a button.

With a cute ruffle design and elasticated waist, it’s super flattering, according to reviews, and is great for hiding festive bloating - even after consuming one too many mince pies.

It’s currently available in sizes six to 24 and can be styled with heels or knee-high boots for a dressier night time look, or pair with some white trainers and your favourite oversized wool coat for your annual Christmas Day walk.

The easy-to-wear wardrobe staple has received plenty of five-star reviews on the M&S website, with fashion fans calling it ‘Lovely dress really flattering to wear. Perfect for the festive season. Love the ruffle layer.”

A second added: “Lovely dress. Bought it for my Christmas party and it's the sort you can wear anywhere. Very comfortable.”

While a third wrote: “Ideal length for me at 5’7”, lovely floaty material, good sleeve length and love the elastic waist to add shape. Flattering, even though I’m a size 20. The metallic spots just add a slight party feel.”

Many shoppers love how festive the dress is, thanks to the glittery gold and white polka dots scattered throughout, however it’s subtle enough that you can wear it all-year-round.

While it was pretty hard to find any criticism on the dress, one shopper did mention it ‘fits a bit tight across the chest’ - so this may be something to keep in mind.

A slightly more affordable option we're also loving is this Printed V-Neck Midi Tiered Dress, also from M&S and priced at £39.50.

The dress boasts a comfortable regular fit with a feminine v-neckline and three-button placket on the bodice. It features a tiered skirt which flows into an elegant midi-length hem, complete with long sleeves that are gathered into slim cuffs for an airy feel.

If you're more into mini dresses, but love the polka dot print, you're in luck as we've spotted this Black Chiffon Spot Print Tiered Mini Dress from New Look, priced at £33.99.
