I think charging £79.99 is taking the piss.

ChameleonCircuit · 26/11/2016 23:23

Bum cape! Tea over keyboard error!

ShowMePotatoSalad · 26/11/2016 23:23

Was hoping to find a pic on google of someone actually wearing this "light brown piece" but alas, no.

I know you should try and highlight your best features but that is ridiculous

Curtains up, wheres the show?

Didn't Rachel from friends wear something similar in an early episode? She wore a long grey open from skirt with a black short skirt underneath?!

Hang on.....

Still not as bad as cold shoulder tops and sleeveless coats...

Can't stop laughing at Arse Cape Grin

Also I was a little bit gutted that there wasn't a picture of it being modelled.

TK Maxx also selling a Pringle pair of 'shapewear' shorts..£48 down from £450!!!! Shock Shock Shock

It wouldn't be suitable for bedroom wear in this house, we prefer a nice bit of flannel rather than a leather fanny frame.

I've got it! You wear this over a skirt and if anyone needs a quick chamois eg window cleaning, you can whip it off and oblige. Chamois woman to the rescue.

Bloody Hell - Pringle have moved on. I was under the impression they made diamond golf jumpers for Tarbuck, Corbett and Forsythe

SaucyJack · 27/11/2016 00:15

Would come in handy when you run out of loo roll I s'pose.

Clandestino · 27/11/2016 00:18

It's a butt cover belt. To hide your bum wedges.
As meaningful as thick jumpers with open shoulders and open-toed warm boots.

Pominoz1 · 27/11/2016 00:20

its a backwards pinny :)

AlpacaPicnic · 27/11/2016 00:20

Something like this was described in a sci-fi/futuristic crime novel series I read... they called it a 'swish' (but it was described as longer, like floor length) and the character wore it over a tight bodysuit...

QueenMortificado · 27/11/2016 00:20

"Save £345"

HA HA HA HA

I think it's meant to be worn in order to indicate as to the kind of bedroom acrobatics there are to be. You wear it as shown, and that says "Front only". Wear it backwards, and it shows "Back passage welcomes some entrance tonight".

elephantoverthehill · 27/11/2016 00:24

May be it's an emergency cover for when you have a massive period blood loss.

IMissGrannyW · 27/11/2016 00:30

That's a lot of money for 1/2 a skirt!

I have long legs, so my skirts were often described as "belts" (and when friends tried on same items, reached becomingly to their knees). But all sides were equal!

SouthernComforts · 27/11/2016 00:33

Grin at Fanny frame and arse cape

CiaoVerona · 27/11/2016 00:34

It's a jacket for your thighs

Brilliant! :)
