When it comes to effortless style, you can't go wrong with an LBD. If a midi dress is your favourite style, we've just found one at Marks & Spencer that deserves a spot in your basket.

Make way in your wardrobe for the Pure Cotton V-Neck Midaxi Waisted Dress.

In fact, it was brought to our attention by TV presenter Holly Willoughby, who shared an Instagram post as part of a paid partnership with the retailer.

Donning a black v-neck midi, she wrote in her caption: "How stunning is this little black dress? I’m in love! It’s from my newest edit for M&S and the shape and fit are just perfect."

She paired it with Ankle Strap Kitten Heel Sandals, which are also available now in black and green for £29.50 – the perfect complement we must say.

Given how popular Willoughby's outfits are, if you're a fan of this versatile midi dress like us, make sure you snap it up ASAP before it sells out.

Why we rate it

Available in sizes 6 to 24 in Marks & Spencer's regular range, the Pure Cotton V-Neck Midaxi Waisted Dress is made from a cotton poplin fabric, which is both comfortable and breathable, making it ideal for the warmer months.

The v-neck is a flattering design for varying bust sizes and the shirred waistline provides an hourglass-like silhouette.

Made from a lightweight poplin cotton, it's perfect for dressing up or down, depending on the occasion. (Marks & Spencer)
