Chuckling at the thought of Becca,s teacher,s knitted monstrosities Smile

Becca19962014 · 11/10/2018 18:17

I've tried to find her on social media but can't. To be fair what can I search? Her surname was Williams, no idea her first name and what's left? Knits nightmare inducing clothes to terrify secondary school kids? - she's not at my old school anymore. She was very proud of them!

I've never wanted to post a pic on a thread more than now of her clothes

Really awful,, but no doubt some women will buy them. Just imagine if you have three cats like me, and they scratch and claw at them whilst playing or sitting on your lap..

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 11/10/2018 18:28

Knitted Camel Trousers. Words that shouldn't be together.

If I squint and imagine wearing something in the privacy of your own home, during a Swedish winter, by dim candlelight, possibly alone; maybe, maybe you might quietly pull them on.

But to be honest, no. Bloody hell. They're really awful.

I.thought maybe someone had put their legs through a cardigans arms by accident but the shape isnt right for that Confused

YourMatesListIsEmpty · 11/10/2018 18:41

I think they may go with my knitted pants

EarlyModernParent · 11/10/2018 18:48

Especially designed to give you thrush and chillblains!

When I was a child living by the sea some poor girls had to wear a home knitted swimming costume. (Clothes shortage.)
You can imagine what happened when they came out of the water - down to their knees.

buttontin · 11/10/2018 18:52

I guarantee I will see these on the school run after half term!

PhilomenaButterfly · 11/10/2018 18:55

No, we really don't wear this type of thing in "that there London". Ever.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 11/10/2018 18:55

Are they out of stock in some sizes?

Who would buy that? Why?

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 11/10/2018 18:59

i'm really hoping it's sold out in those sizes because they never stocked those sizes. I really, really never want to see someone wearing them. I don't think I could hold myself back from going WHAT

nicebitofquiche · 11/10/2018 19:02

What on earth was the buyer at John Lewis thinking? Possibly the most horrible item of clothing I've ever seen

TheOrigFV45 · 11/10/2018 19:14

They're fucking awful. They don't have my size has someone actually bought a pair?

toxic44 · 11/10/2018 19:16

How to look a misshapen frump for a mere £120. There's masochism and then there's this outfit.

RainbowsArePretty · 11/10/2018 19:20

There are no words Shock😂

AamdC · 11/10/2018 19:24

On the plus side they might be cosy on a cold winters morning whilst taking the dog for a walk well you would have cold ankles and shins but otherwise warm?

Spudlet · 11/10/2018 19:39

buttontin I demand pictures! Erm. Please?

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 11/10/2018 19:40

Apart from everything else, it's such an awful colour to wear head to toe. Well, it would be on me - pallid Celtic complexion.

I bet there's a good reason none of the pictures show the model's face. Grin

IwantedtobeEmmaPeel · 11/10/2018 19:43

Thank you MrsGollach for giving me the best laugh for ages. Fuck me, they are the most horrible item of clothing I've ever seen and I'm fairly old.

Spudlet · 11/10/2018 19:45

I just showed them to dh. His wee face was a mixture of confusion, horror, and fear that I was about to ask for them for my birthday Grin

We think the model had it written into her contract that her face should be cropped out!

BrightonGallery7 · 11/10/2018 19:50

Oh. My God.

BrightonGallery7 · 11/10/2018 19:52

Some funnneeeee comments here. Like the arms one.

•Oh my aching sides🤣•

MiddlingMum · 11/10/2018 19:57

37% alpaca wool apparently. Such a waste of alpaca.

Vinorosso74 · 11/10/2018 20:27

Hideous! And £120! Wonder if there'll be many left in the sale.
