That M&S dress! Who wants to place their bets?

Came up on my Facebook feed. Apparently it's the dress everyone wants and won't be on the shelves long.

I bet it will go a similar way to the pink frilly number.

I like it! Does that mean I have very bad taste?!

[newdocket]

Oh - just looked at pictures on the M&S site. It looks like a dressing gown in most of them!

[Lottapianos]

Well it's a thousand times nicer, more flattering and more practical than the pink frilly horror. I don't think I'll be breaking their doors down to get my hands on one, but it's not a horror show by any means

[Akire]

Well the model prob 5:6 so it’s going be at my ankles. The V neck will be lower than my bra line and I already have lumpy middle don’t want extra bow/belt/fabric wither.

But if you are tall and slim it may work hate strips

[RB68]

Yup dressing gown here too

[OhHolyFuck]

Looks like the outfit my kids school gets out every year for the kid who plays Joseph in the nativity

Another whole thread about it below

[YouWereRight]

I don't understand this thing for m&s on here. If any other shop created a dress you don't like, you'd move one and continue browsing but if it's an m&s dress that's inoffensive, but not to your taste, multiple threads are made and we're all supposed to sneer at the state of the world.

It does look like a dressing gown on the website. Looks much better in the good housekeeping photo. There was a thread on this dress yesterday with the OP asking what people thought. General consensus: dressing gown!

[dingit]

I saw the other thread. That's what made me post the goodhousekeeping link.

I used to love M&S, walked through it yesterday, and straight out the other side.

I like it. The wrap style for people like myself with enormous bosums a fuller figure is usually flattering.

[Joan90]

I like it, but I bet it's a bastard for creasing

[HappyLollipop]

People are talking about it just not the way I'm sure M&S were hoping! It looks too much like a dressing gown and it doesn't even look good on the model so their not exactly selling it well.

[MsJolly]

It's sold out in every size from a 14 down to 6 so obviously is popular

[Xmasbaby11]

Omg it IS a dressing gown! Think it would look ok on the beach.

[GrannyGrissle]

It's really nice. What's the problem with it?

[ilovecherries]

It's a little unfortunate, as I have a near identical dressing gown from about 20 years ago, also M&S. same shade of blue, same wide stripes. But actually, it's pure cotton, it's fairly plain and simple, it's not hideously expensive. I think it's got a lot going for it. M&S has done a lot wrong in recent years, but I don't think this dress is an example of that.

[cornishstripes]

yeah I quite like it too. I am not sure I'd buy it, or beat down any doors but I might try it on and consider it if it was a good fit.

[CiderwithBuda]

I quite like it but it’s nicer in the GH article than on the M&S site. I’d wear a different belt rather than the dressing gown tie it comes with.

I’m a size 20 so would resemble one of those double deck chairs in it!

[athingthateveryoneneeds]

Not my style really, and I don't really understand the hype. Seems like a simple summer dress - the style and print are hardly revolutionary are they?

[BinRaidingRaccoon]

I like it, but the length is a bit odd. I might have a look at it in the 'flesh' and see if I could be arsed to take it up.

[kingseat2016]

I like it but it’s not king enough and I bet it’s a bastard to iron.

[kingseat2016]

FfS King is long.

[gearandloathing]

I'm beginning to think M and S bring out a hideous dress on purpose every season just to get publicity in a 'no publicity is bad publicity' way.

I mean, I just clicked on their website because of it, so it's clearly working as a ploy to increase online traffic.

[slippynips]

Looks like a towel or a dressing gown. I imagine it is only flattering on very slim women
