Can I have a prize for the worst dress seen so far this spring

I stood in the entrance of M&S for 5 minutes this morning just trying to imagine anyone who this would suit.
It's polyester as well so you couldn't even say it would be good in a heatwave.

Have you all even the completely see through trousers from top shop?
I mean completely. Like pac a mac material.
No won't be buying them either.

Headofthehive55 · 04/05/2017 14:17

They even call it cold shoulder. They might as well call it the very uncomfortable dress. I will give it the cold shoulder or wide berth.

These are the top shop jeans

They look rather Iggy Pop, Head

Only he didn't wear underpants with his (please don't tell me I didn't warn you!)

Oh my pick
I can't bring myself to look. I feel like I've drifted into some dark corner if the web!

TaraCarter · 04/05/2017 16:39

I like to entertain myself by sharing my total lack of fashion sense sticking up for M&S on MN threads.

However, this week, I confess myself beaten. I saw the examples in this thread on display, and I just stopped there in the street, taken completely aback.

What were they thinking?

Rachel0Greep · 04/05/2017 16:54

Saw the pink dress for real today as I passed by Marks. Very weird and unflattering garment. Even the mannequin looked down in the mouth about it...

FluffyBathTowel · 04/05/2017 17:10

This M&S dress was featured on This Morning today. It was quite brutal even on the model.

Head,

Imagine the delightful consequences of combining these

with those Topshop monstrosities, on a packed and sweltering Tube!! Shock

Pick,

Thanks for the Iggy Pop link. Not sure I approve of him smuggling his pet hamster on stage by that method, though.

trevortrevorslattery · 04/05/2017 17:18

It looks like a Marigold glove Shock

Maudlinmaud · 04/05/2017 17:20

Oh my goodness, did Trinny put that on this morning? She is mad that one, but I do enjoy her youtube channel. Morning ladies

zukiecat · 04/05/2017 17:23

I love the sleeves, so I'd wear it in a shorter length over trousers, but not as a dress

FluffyBathTowel · 04/05/2017 17:23

The yellow marigold glove was Gok's doing. Am glad Trinny didn't embarrass herself with that one.

^Oops, wrong link...the summer^ version of Yeezy's transparent, pvc footwear (non breathable...so very practical in heat), are these mules:

Went into M&S today and was greeted at the front door by the monstrosity in the opening post. 99 per cent of stuff seemed to have weird fluted or bell shaped sleeves or was in lurid colours or made of horrible nylon material. Came out with a nice pink gypsy style top but there was very limited "normal" stuff. Let's hope the new head honcho sorts out the mess!

Mummyoflittledragon · 04/05/2017 18:29

Those transparent shoes and boots are foul. Does ssense stand for stupid (fashion) sense?

Rachel0Greep · 04/05/2017 18:31

Yes, I posted that delightful yellow one upthread Grin.
It haunted me after I clicked on the original post.

PansyGiraffe · 04/05/2017 19:18

I read that Standard article the other night and thought, oh I will have to look at that (not afraid of a bit of colour, like Cos style shapelessness). Next morning I nearly caused a multiple pile up of commuters at Waterloo when I stopped dead to stare at it in M&S' window. It is SO pink in real life. So shapeless. So plain - at the front the only detail was the perfectly normal stitching on the hem, you know that the slightest wonkiness would show. And so distinctive - everyone would know it was THAT dress.

HappyFlappy · 04/05/2017 19:44

Leaves

SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POUNDS??????????

My car didn't cost that

HappyFlappy · 04/05/2017 19:46

Leaves

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS?!?!?!?!?!

I could get a cocker spaniel for that!
