Current 20% off (online) promotion misleading

Anyone else notice that the online "20% off dresses" promotion, which I think ends today, is misleading. The Home page says 20% off dresses. When you click through to the WOMENS page it says in 3 places 20% off ALL dresses. Many dresses are, in fact, excluded from the deal (including the one I wanted). I have raised this with M&S directly, but they seem adamant that it is clear the discount only applies to a selection of dresses. Maybe their definition of "all" is different to mine?

    I can't see anywhere where it says ALL dresses.

    On saying that, every dress I can see has got 20% off? http://www.marksandspencer.com/l/women/dresses?intid=sw_stripe3_20dresses

    The T&C's do not state ALL dresses:

    Click through from HOME page to WOMENS and it definitely says 20% off ALL dresses in 3 places

    Appreciate that if you click directly on the "20% off dresses" on HOME page you get taken to all the items included in the offer. (I didn't and went from WOMENS section through to Best of British, only to find most of dresses there are not included.)

    Either way, I think it could have been made clearer that it was only on selected dresses. Including the word "all" is misleading - or at least it was for me.
