The Magic Dress from Magic Marks and Spencer

T434265dh This is not just a dress. This is a bum-lifting, tummy-tightening, leg-elongating, attention-getting miracle of a dress. A magic dress, if you will. Marks and Spencer are selling it from September, and they're making some pretty astonishing claims about it, too. This dress will make you thin! It will make you pretty! It will revolutionise your life! It will cost you £75! Ok, so the last bit is definitely true. As for the rest... well, the Magic Dress (yes, that's really its name, I wasn't kidding) was road-tested this week by The Telegraph, and guess what? They loved it.

When writer Bryony Gordon wore it for the day, she had one of those miracle days, where people hold doors for you, workmen whistle in the street and women stop you to ask you where you bought your clothes. It was all down to the dress. So, what's the verdict? Is this the Galaxy dress of 2006, only with built-in tummy panel?

The Magic Dress from Magic Marks and Spencer - Comments

    Where can I find the Marks & Spencer "Magic" dress in the US?? They won't ship overseas.

  • I'd buy it if it wasn't in such a terrible colour/print. And it needs to be shorter! How can that be leg-lengthening for 5'2-ers!?!

    I quite like the dress, but prefer it in black :)



    Still - Given Ms Gordon's success with the dress, it's making me think about the slim-fit jeans that M&S have in their Magicwear range. I'm a curvy UK14 dress-size, and I've not been able to pull off skinny jeans as yet, despite it being a dream of mine ) I wonder, though, if they're MAGICAL maybe I could?



    Unfortunately, the website seems to state that Magicwear will only be available online. I'd rather try on the jeans before shelling out £35 plus post for them. Grumble.

  • I think it's perhaps intended for the slightly older lady, Diane :)



    Dani, you're right... We have all of these newfangled things, but actually, it's just a return to the good old foundation garment!

  • The style is nice, very Galaxy-inspired, but I really don't see what's so different about it. I already own one of those magic fat-buster things that squeezes you to death and makes me look fab with any dress, I doubt I need to go out and buy this dress too. But I'll definitely pop in to Marks and Sparks and try it on! :)
