Modern Rarity is right! 😱

My life! That is baaad! 😖

mollycoddle77 · 11/10/2018 20:58

Big big lolz, especially the PP saying be careful not to get them wet, I can't stop laughing 😂. I reckon they were never available in the small and larger sizes.. there is just no way they have been sold out! Not even in London 😂😂

Brown knitted cropped flares. I'm rarely speechless.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 11/10/2018 22:12

They aren't that bad!!

No Becca - they're WORSE!

My fucking oath!

CormoranStrike · 11/10/2018 22:31

Hahahahhahahhhh I very much needed a laugh tonight, so thank you.

Imagine the camel toe!

Awful styling with those shoes too.

Balootoyoutoo · 11/10/2018 22:52

Eight size 12s still in stock ladies, but only two size 14s. Buy now or be forever disappointed...

I'm going to have to keep checking in to see if stock levels have gone down. Surely to God no sane human would buy these?

ArcheryAnnie · 11/10/2018 23:00

I clicked thinking "if they are knitted then you could at least wear them as pyjamas when camping" but you couldn't, because that flare would have them rucked up your legs and over your knees!

Seafoodeatit · 11/10/2018 23:07

They look like giant baggy sleeves.

AamdC · 11/10/2018 23:11

Those shoes though they are pretty vile too the whole outfir is just ridiculous

Giggorata · 12/10/2018 00:17

They look like a rejected Star Wars costume idea.

Got it in one. Grin

This is the bestest thread ever. 😊

KeiTeNgeNge · 12/10/2018 01:07

The outfit was hideous but when teamed with the shoes..... Grin

sunyousaw · 12/10/2018 07:06

Actually made me laugh out loud.

Did someone have a washing disaster?

Did John Lewis feel left out of the 'have you seen this godawful garment' threads?

fairiedemon · 12/10/2018 07:16

I quite like the trousers Blush however they will stretch horribly out of shape in about an hour so I will not be purchasing.

The shoes posted upthread look the like illegitimate love children of cousin It.

PussGirl · 12/10/2018 07:36

I noticed none of the pictures has the model's face showing - I can just imagine the conversation as they persuaded her to model it!

Grin Shock

userblah · 12/10/2018 07:45

I like them and the outfit
As usual I like everything that mn'ers rip yo shreds. If not post about hating anyone's outfit

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/10/2018 07:46

My children are the height of fashion! There is a matching jacket too. Btw on a small child it is cute and cosy but an adult

It looks better in the camouflage green of your picture - plus, as you say, on a two-year-old . . .

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/10/2018 07:53

Haha I like them, I already have a knitted coordinating set of culottes and jumper though so I won't be purchasing.

You do know that you've outed yourself, don't you silk? Because no-one . . . NO-ONE . . . else, anywhere in the world will own that combination and be prepared to wear it.

If you are seen in public, your cover is blown.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/10/2018 07:54

Her surname was Williams, no idea her first name

My teachers all had the same first name - "Miss".

I can only imagine that her budgie needed major surgery.

MsLexic · 12/10/2018 09:29

Modern Rarity. I wonder why.Shock

thetemptationofchocolate · 12/10/2018 09:48

When I was small I had a knitted swimming costume, made by my mother. I remember wearing it in our paddling pool, and how it used to sag when I stood up. I can imagine these trousers reacting in much the same way, if they were to get really wet. Maybe that's why they are crops now? In case they really stretch when they get wet :)
