and me! bastard thing keeps appearing on facebook, on the telegraph page and everywhere else I go. They are probably going to interpret this as everybody being tempted to buy it!

The solution is to find the biker jacket thread and peruse its links. That should improve your screens greatly.

That pink dress reminds me of the time I attempted dress making. Curtains I can do, dresses not so much.

I tried it on last week. It is HORRIFIC on, way worse than on the hanger.

The fashion bloggers are going to love it though (does DLAM have it yet?! Wink)

I walked into M&S yesterday and there was that very dress looking sack-like on a mannequin and also blown up to huge proportions on a model in a poster nearby. I can't believe they decided that THAT DRESS was the one to lead their promotional campaign!

It was the main enterance display at my local M&S tonight. In real life it is breathtaking in its awfulness. I was fingering the fabric in a sort of horrified fascination and this assistant said to me 'it's gorgeous, isn't it?' A passing customer caught my eye, smirked and winked at me. I nearly asked her if she'd seen it on here first.

What I can't get over is tropical print everywhere.

Primark, Top Shop, M&S, RI, Debenhams and House of Fraser have all got variations on a theme of palms and parrots

OMD!

Those River Island monstrosities need some sort of quarantine round them. Who TAF would look good in those??!!

I'm short.

The trousers would fit me as ankle grazers.

As would these in Regular length.

I'm being followed by The Dress!

I actually went to view it in person today. Just as frightful irl, and the fabric is horrid.

I might try it on next week for a laugh if I can brace myself sufficiently.

It's a clever lure. People are being irresistibly drawn to see it and then are reminded by the colour that they need to pick up some naice ham. The shape of the sleeves subliminally prompts the purchase of 2 bottles rose wine.

This time I've learnt my lesson - not clicking on anything on this thread. Which just leaves the question what should I search for to improve my adds?Grin

Please can everyone go and try it on and post photos to this thread? (I would, but I'm not in the UK)

My ad sidebar is full of moody models from Oak Sad

I have chosen to accept the mission as set by OlennasWimple.

I am currently on enemy territory as I type this message.

I can confirm the dress is made of crimplene-like polyester.

The T-shirt sryle round neck front gives no clue about the back of the dress.

I am 5 feet tall and approximately 14-16.

For the mission, I selected a size 16 dress.

I'm tall, slimish and was going to wear with high suede skinny black boots.

Back is lovely. BUT the material is AWFUL. It's going back.
