So, whether you have endless birthday parties, weddings or just want a new dress to add to your wardrobe, you've come to the right place.
The new brown and white polka dot dress is the perfect balance of style and comfort.
The Pure Cotton Polka Dot Scoop Neck Midi Waisted Dress is priced at just £45, a bargain when you consider how much wear you'll get form it.
Made from pure cotton, the M&S dress will keep you cool during the hotter temperatures coming our way.
The stylish dress also has a scoop neckline to add a vintage feel and cinches you in at the waist before falling into a full midi skirt.
It also comes with a discreet side zip to make it easy to throw on and can be dressed up with heels and a jacket or with sandals for a relaxed look.
Fans of the dress were quick to note that it looked similar to Julia Roberts' iconic brown and white polka dot dress from the film Pretty Woman.
M&S bosses add: "Cut in a regular fit, it features a defined waist and a breezy midi-length skirt for easy elegance.
"The scoop neckline and delicate cami straps keep things light, while a discreet side zip ensures a smooth finish."
The summer staple comes in an inclusive size ranging form a 6 to a 24.
I'm size 16 and I've found the dream dress from Primark for spring - it's so pretty and super flattering

Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
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: "I've been looking for a summer dress that has style and can be dressed up or down and this dress certainly has all that!"
"Great little dress. Quality fabric and good design,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'Beautiful dress. I feel a million pounds in it. Fits perfectly."

Shoppers race to popular supermarket as bargain Fairy pods for 100 washes spotted on shelves
LAUNDRY HACK Shoppers race to popular supermarket as bargain Fairy pods for 100 washes spotted on shelves Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS are rushing to a popular chain with over 300 stores across the UK after spotting a cracking deal on a household essential. Farmfoods is selling Fairy laundry pods offering 100 washes - yet priced at less than £20. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Farmfoods is a Scottish frozen food and grocery supermarket chain with 341 stores Credit: Getty 2 Farmfoods is selling bargain Fairy laundry pods, shoppers claim Credit: Getty One savvy shopper took to social media to share their cheap find, writing: "100 washes are back in Farmfoods £19,99." This is a bargain compared to Amazon, where the same Fairy Platinum Non Bio Pods pack currently goes for £25.99. Farmfoods is a Scottish frozen food and grocery supermarket chain with 341 stores across the UK. Founded in 1955, Farmfoods is headquartered in Cumbernauld, Scotland, with a strong presence across Scotland, Northern England and Wales. While Farmfoods specialises in frozen foods, the chain also sells a range of groceries and household essentials. It comes as shoppers spotted Farmfoods is selling a limited edition chocolate that is a twist on a classic for just 49p. Fry's Turkish Delight Orange, which is a citrus twist on the classic floral tasting chocolate, was first picked up in stores last summer. Meanwhile, Tom Church, co-founder of discount code website shared with The Sun today the best times to shop at retailers like B&M and Poundland to save money. He advised that Wednesday mornings are the best time to visit B&M, as "this is when most of the new reductions are dropped". Cleaning fan reveals the cheap, easy way to get clothes smelling 'beautiful' without shelling out on pricey dryer sheets Similarly, for Home Bargains, Tom recommends shopping first thing in the morning, as larger stores typically receive deliveries around 7.30am each day. He also suggests taking a careful look around as you enter the store, explaining, 'Often, Home Bargains keeps the best deals at the front to lure you in. "You don't want to walk straight past them on the way in!' Superdrug often offers promotions and shopping incentives. Tom says the best time to shop there depends on "what you're buying, and timing your shop to coincide with a relevant offer". For example, the store often runs 3-for-2 deals on beauty products, so if you're restocking your makeup bag, it may be worth waiting for that offer to return. Aldi is well known for its middle aisle Special Buys, selling everything from air fryers to dupes for Dyson hairstylers. These deals drop on Thursdays and Sundays, so arriving early on those days gives you the best chance to grab the bargains. The store also has red stickers to point out an item has been reduced. Tom said: "If you get there early, you have a better chance of bagging them. Just look out for red stickers.'

Aquarium mocked for launching woke special exhibition on ‘non-binary' fish as part of Pride Month
The one-day exhibition called Sunset Seas, is to highlight 'diversity in all its forms' 'LOAD OF POLLOCKS' Aquarium mocked for launching woke special exhibition on 'non-binary' fish as part of Pride Month Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOURIST attraction has been mocked for launching a special exhibition of 'non-binary' fish. Bristol Aquarium says visitors can see species that 'challenge binary classifications' and 'parallels between marine life and the rich spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The exhibition will tell how clownfish can change from male to female Credit: AP The exhibition is to highlight 'diversity in all its forms'. Bosses at the popular tourist hotspot explained that guests would be shown fish which have 'sequential hermaphroditism' – the ability to change biological sex naturally. The phenomenon occurs in fish to help endangered species reproduce naturally underwater. They include the wrasse, which can change from female to male, and the clownfish, which typically change from male to female. But Spectator columnist Lionel Shriver wrote: 'We're presumably to conclude . . . that because some fish change sex and hermaphroditic undersea organisms are commonplace, for humans sex is a phantasmagorical multiple choice and we can change sex, too. 'If some fish can change sex . . . [it's] to their Darwinian advantage.' The Sunset Seas event will be held on June 28 and is part of Bristol's Pride Month celebrations. Chloe O'Dell, events and experiences manager at Bristol Aquarium, said: 'Our oceans are full of incredible stories of transformation and diversity. 'Sunset Seas is our way of celebrating those stories while creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful space for people to connect and be themselves.'
