Anyway us chunky lasses don't have it any easier. I give you this beauty. I bet the model had migraine meds that night...

MrsLouisTheroux · 18/01/2013 20:20

£69 down to £12 They can't give it away!

FreePeaceSweet · 18/01/2013 20:21

I suppose if you don't wear it with a pinny you'll be reet. :o It just seems sinister as garments go...

I imagine the models playing rock,paper, scissors to decide the loser who gets the M & S modelling assignment

MrsLouisTheroux · 18/01/2013 20:23

WOW!!! Speziale!

fluffyraggies · 18/01/2013 20:23

Aw to be fair the favorable reviews for these items have been done by the 65+ age range.

My mum would love those shoes too. She's 74.

Who are M&S's demographic these days though? I thought they were aiming 'younger'.

InLoveWithDavidTennant · 18/01/2013 20:25

i like the goth-like dress

the rest however are just awful Shock

thenightsky · 18/01/2013 20:25

I always remember my grandmother rejecting an M&S suit on the grounds that it was 'for an older woman'.

She was 98 at the time Grin

Foggles · 18/01/2013 20:27

That's what puts me off fluffy

I used to find some nice bits for work in M&S. Now, there's a sea of blue rinses looking through the rails.

I'm no spring chicken but....dear GOD!

Happiestinwellybobs · 18/01/2013 20:27

Those shoes!! How can there only be 4 left in a size 8... Surely this is a ploy by M&S to make people think they're popular.

FreePeaceSweet · 18/01/2013 20:31

My dh saw these and called them 'Woodkill' :o

PureQuintessence · 18/01/2013 20:31

The childrens section is even worse

ceeveebee · 18/01/2013 20:33

Apparently these are specially designed to fit and flatter...

fluffyraggies · 18/01/2013 20:33

Grin @ sea of blue rinses.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying i like these offerings! I shall stay in my growing old disgracefully clothes till the day i die, and shall shun sensible clothes while i have breath in my body :)

I just think they have their place, these clothes, y'know? My MIL loves per una.

I was in M&S today - OMG, what happened to Indigo?? It used to have some nice stuff to wear with jeans, chunky knitwear, nice faded scarves etc, but the department was awash with floral chiffon and dippy-hem tunics. Awful. Like Mantaray on acid.
