An angel is a spiritual (without a physical body), heavenly, or supernatural being, usually humanoid with bird-like wings. In Western belief-systems the term is often used to distinguish benevolent from malevolent intermediary beings.
It is often depicted as a messenger or intermediary between God (the transcendent) and humanity (the profane) in various traditions like the Abrahamic religions. Other roles include protectors and guides for humans, such as guardian angels and servants of God. Emphasizing the distance between God and mankind, revelation-based belief-systems require angels to bridge the gap between the earthly and the transcendent realm. Angels play a lesser role in monistic belief-systems, since the gap is non-existent. However, angelic beings might be conceived as aid to achieve a proper relationship with the divine.
Abrahamic religions describe angelic hierarchies, which vary by religion and sect. Some angels have specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). Malevolent angels are often believed to have been expelled from Heaven and called fallen angels. In many such religions, the Devil (or devils) are identified with such angels.
Angels in art are often identified with bird wings, halos, and divine light. They are usually shaped like humans of extraordinary beauty, though this is not always the case—sometimes, they can be portrayed in a frightening, inhuman manner.
A dot is usually a small, round spot.
Dot, DoT or DOT may also refer to:
A dress (also known as a frock or a gown) is a one-piece outer garment that is worn on the torso and hangs down over the legs and is primarily worn by women or girls. Dresses often consist of a bodice attached to a skirt.
Dress shapes and silhouettes, textiles, and colors vary. Dresses can have sleeves of any length or can be sleeveless, and dresses can have any neckline. Similarly, dresses can have skirts of any length or hemline. These variances may be based on considerations such as fashion trends, modesty, weather, and personal taste. Dresses are generally suitable for both formal wear and casual wear in the West.
Historically, foundation garments and other structural garments—including items such as corsets, partlets, petticoats, panniers, bustles—were used to achieve the desired silhouette.
M, or m, is the thirteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of several western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is em (pronounced ), plural ems.
Polka is a dance style and genre of dance music in 2
4 originating in nineteenth-century Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. Though generally associated with Czech and Central European culture, polka is popular throughout Europe and the Americas.
S, or for lowercase, s, is the nineteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and other latin alphabets worldwide. Its name in English is ess (pronounced ), plural esses.
A sleeve (Old English: slīef, a word allied to slip, cf. Dutch sloof) is the part of a garment that covers the arm, or through which the arm passes or slips.
The sleeve is a characteristic of fashion seen in almost every country and time period, across a myriad of styles of dress. Styles vary from close-fitting to the arm, to relatively unfitted and wide sleeves, some with extremely wide cuffs. Long, hanging sleeves have been used variously as a type of pocket, from which the phrase "to have up one's sleeve" (to have something concealed ready to produce) comes. There are many other proverbial and metaphorical expressions associated with the sleeve, such as "to wear one's heart upon one's sleeve", and "to laugh in one's sleeve".
Early Western medieval sleeves were cut straight, and underarm triangle-shaped gussets were used to provide ease of movement. In the 14th century, the rounded sleeve cap was invented, allowing a more fitted sleeve to be inserted, with ease around the sleeve head and a wider cut at the back allowing for wider movement. Throughout the 19th century and particularly during the Victorian era in Western culture, the sleeves on women's dress at times became extremely wide, rounded or otherwise gathered and 'puffy', necessitating the need for sleeve supports worn inside a garment to support the shape of the sleeve. Various early styles of Western sleeve are still found in types of academic dress.
Sleeve length varies in modern times from barely over the shoulder (cap sleeve) to floor-length (as seen in the Japanese furisode). Most contemporary shirt sleeves end somewhere between the mid-upper arm and the wrist.

A very flattering and pretty dress. Thicker fabric than most but possibly an advantage as it hangs well. It’s quite long on me at 5’3” but still looks good. Not a fan of the fabric tie belt but dress looks great with a black belt to match the spots.
by Amanda
Lovely dress, but far too long. I whish there was a Petite option.
by Zeta
Perfect dress, nice fabric, heavy but fresh. Unfortunately I have a olive skin so no good for this colour.

This dress is absolutely beautiful, fits well and allows for movement too , nice length too.

Purchased size 24L (would be helpful if other reviewers mentioned size/length purchased). Found it to be a perfect fit and length. Length just under mid-calf (I’m 5ft 6″), plenty of room in top half (will probably need to have it taken in 2 inches) and a good amount of room in the bottom half which makes the dress nice and flowing when moving. The material is thicker than the normal Viscose which is why I guess the dress hangs so well. The only fault I found is with the belt loops as they don’t appear to be wide enough for the belt to stay flat against the body but this can soon be rectified. The sleeves are a good shape, nice and flowy and also cover the tops of the arms. It’s a nice shade of pink as not too pale and nice and soft to the touch. I wish M&S would state the length of dresses for both Regular and Long lengths as wasn’t quite sure if this dress would be too long and should have ordered the R length, so glad I didn’t and ordered the L length (as I had purchased the Black Broderie cotton dress in R and although the dress is a Midaxi and not Midi, came below my ankles. Would recommend this dress for any age and can be worn as smart or smart casual.

Never leave reviews but felt it was worth it! This dress is beautiful on, really flattering, perfect length on me and the Angel arm feature is really nice for covering tops of arms! I love it!
by Lauren
This dress looks and feels beautiful. The fabric is flowing and heavier than it appears online so it drapes nicely. If you’re between sizes, I would size down.
by Jane
I bought this with no expectations but it is so flattering. I had a small waist and quite wide hips but it looks fab. Excellent length for me too! Have just ordered it in the other colour.
