"Superior fabric"!!! They have truly lost their minds!

Best selling? In Bluewater the other week the rack was literally straining under the weight of the unsold pink frocks

EnidButton · 23/05/2017 18:32

How is it best selling? Confused Who TF is buying it? We'd spot them surely because they'll hardly be blending into the scenery. Colour me baffled.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/05/2017 19:55

I'm going to get one in every colour.

originalbiglymavis · 23/05/2017 19:57

Floral? I didn't think it could be more ugly. Bet it's orangey.

BestIsWest · 23/05/2017 19:58

In our local M&S they've accessorised it with a jewel encrusted chain belt. It didn't actually look quite so bad.

Just three more prints and you'll have one for every day of the week. Can you imagine such a thing.

Capsule wardrobe. Sorted. Will take me from work to play in all seasons.

SirNiallDementia · 23/05/2017 20:02

What's the betting that the 'floral' version looks like my nana's curtains?

NisekoWhistler · 23/05/2017 20:02

Ooh more items for my bad taste fancy dress party

whatsthefuckingwrongwithyou · 23/05/2017 20:12

Fuck it, let's have at the entire article: www.theguardian.com/business/2017/may/16/ms-marks-spencer-fluted-sleeves-womenswear

Some gems coming up for AW.

  • A satin shirt with puffy sleeves.
  • A dressing gown masquerading as a coat.
  • A red suit that looks like something a washed up male cruise ship singer might put on.
  • An unfathomably enormous houndstooth print that makes even a beautiful model look an utter sack of potatoes.
  • The kind of floral you find on melamine trays in charity shops, inexplicably paired with black, with the vilest sleeves seen since Pink Dress.

It's like Groundhog Day or a competition to design the least attractive clothing possible and I told them so when they persisted in sending me surveys
Who the heck buys these 'best sellers'? The pink fright reminds me of a shroud......

SirNiallDementia · 23/05/2017 20:22

WTF is this??

It was in the window of my local M&s this week.

whatsthefuckingwrongwithyou · 23/05/2017 20:24

Apparently it's "Floral print ... given a tougher edge".

I think I'll get five dresses for weekdays and the yellow jobbie for weekends. So flattering, and perfect for anything from windsailing to wine bar.

starsinyourpies · 23/05/2017 20:38

I did a double take of horror at the window display in M&S today, awful dresses and some slogan about sleeves on said awful dresses. Managed to find a few plain kids t shirts but that is all I buy there these days!

EnidButton · 23/05/2017 21:14

Do it Remus you can team them up with those bright red knee boots that are coming out in Autumn.

Speak for yourself. I want a nice static, unlined dress with sleeves to dip in my supper, preferably in exciting shades.

ChampagneSocialist1 · 23/05/2017 21:32

But not big puffy impractical non flattering sleeves Grin

The yellow dress gave me a fright in the shop yesterday.

It's featured in the WardrobeIcons run by Witblog, the pink dress is on the cover of the same issue.

user1471545174 · 23/05/2017 22:08

Dear god make it stop.

RJnomore1 · 23/05/2017 22:14
