Every so often, a high street item will experience a sort of sartorial 15 minutes of fame, which means for a short period of time - everyone is talking about it, wearing it or trying to shop it. Marks & Spencer has carved out a reputation for turning out high street heroes, with many of their biggest hits channeling the look of designer labels. Lest we forget last summer's sold-out leopard print dress we compared to Ganni, and this year, it's a Rixo lookalike that's set to dominate your Instagram.
The Printed Lace Midaxi Tea dress possesses all the qualities of a soon-to-be sellout. The floaty, vibrant dress features an all-over floral design against a powder blue backdrop, three quarter sleeves and a flattering fit - but it's the lace detailings that make it stand out. White lace is inserted at the shoulder, cuffs and neckline for a romantic finish, adding a touch of elegance to an otherwise minimal design. It's the ultimate wedding guest dress, but also makes for a perfect day-to-day number to slip on when the weather gets warmer.

Grazia's Rachael Martin - owner of over one hundred dresses - swears by it, saying 'I sit somewhere between 5'4 and 5'5 and find it tricky to find a dress that sits just right. This petite option from M&S ticks boxes. Aside from the fact it looks exactly like a Rixo dress, it's the fit that makes it stand out. Nipped in at the waist but designed to skim across the tummy, it's the ultimate figure flatterer.'
Selling hundreds of times in the last week, the dress, which bears a striking resemblance to Rixo's Clarice Dress will be your ultimate satorial weapon this spring/summer season. Just £45 - shop while you can.
