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."
