Summer is officially here, the weather's warming up and Marks & Spencer has just answered our sartorial prayers with the "perfect" white dress...

It's fair to say that every woman needs an LWD in her wardrobe at this time of year, and M&S' Broderie Anglaise option might just be the best option we've seen on the high street.

Yep, with its flattering maxi length, tiered skirt and pretty detailing, this cotton piece has just made its way straight to the top of our wish-lists.

What to read next

Paired with simple sandals, white trainers or even block heels, the M&S Collection Pure Cotton Embroidered Waisted Maxi Dress will see you through so many occasions this year, from alfresco holiday dinners to relaxed BBQs.

And we're clearly not alone in wanting to get our hands on it...

After the brand shared a snap of fashion influencer Zoe de Pass of @dresslikeamum in the dress on Sunday (23 June), calling it the "perfect summer dress" in its accompanying caption, fans were quick to react with likes and comments.

"Wow, I love this dress," wrote one follower, while another added: "Beautiful".

While the maxi is a little on the pricier side at £79, we reckon it's one of those timeless summer staples you'll wear year after year, so well worth the investment. It's available now in sizes 8 to 24 on the M&S website and in stores.
