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.

What is it with this season's fashions? I've seen so many hideous creations in shops - all polyester, garish patterns, frills and pleats galore!

I saw a dress in Sainsburys that was almost an exact replica of a frock my friend wore to a Bad Taste Party in the mid 90s. We found it in a charity shop and everyone who saw it fell about laughing at it - I still have photos of the party and the resemblance is uncanny. WHY would anyone wish to dress like this? Literally no one would look good in this stuff.

It is the sort of thing Endora from Bewitched would wear , maybe hers would be in black though!

PinkSquash · 02/05/2017 14:47

Errrrr.... Hmm

Ceto · 02/05/2017 14:53

OMG, the one shoulder floral orange ruffle dress ...

WHY? How could anyone possibly think that was worth producing, let along putting into mass production? It's utterly hideous.

"Jerry, here's the £45, it's the size 8, in pink...and, yes, you do have to pick it up from M&S".

My God you would not dare light a fag or a candle wearing that monstrosity!

The colour is very erm bold..?

Top prize OP TOP PRIZE!

RortyCrankle · 02/05/2017 14:58

It could be even more perfect if crimplene hadn't gone out of fashion Grin It can only be described as fugly and the colour is beyond hideous. I will be going to M&S tomorrow, I will see if I can find anything to beat it - pretty unlikely I would say.

BanjoPier · 02/05/2017 14:58

I immediately thought "Well that's the last that I play the tart for you, Jerry!"

spiderlight · 02/05/2017 15:00

I immediately thought Margo Leadbetter as well!! Grin

Elendon · 02/05/2017 15:00

I've seen worse bride maids dresses. I've seen worse on the Guardian style pages.

JassyJones · 02/05/2017 15:00

It's definitely a Margot or Endora dress. Grin I'm still in shock they want £45 for it, I wouldn't part with 45 pence for the dress!

Elendon · 02/05/2017 15:01

Sorry but in that picture of Margo and Jerry, Margo is by far the best dressed. Margo rocks!

HappyFlappy · 02/05/2017 15:02

The Roskanda one is an abomination, to IMO.

Indeed Rorty. Crimpelene - the fabric of the gods!

*too, not to

WhatchaMaCalllit · 02/05/2017 15:02

The dress that Margot is wearing in that picture Thalia, is, dare I say it, nice. The sleeves are not bell-like or unnecessarily flouncy. The white/cream stripe adds something to it and the pink, well it's not too in-your-face pink either. On top of all of that, it's being worn by the stunning Penelope Keith...

I do like the comment you've put with it though...takes me right back!

Batgirlspants · 02/05/2017 15:03

Oh dear God it's beyond awful.

Who the fuck does the buying and designing for M&S they get it so wrong all the time.

HappyFlappy · 02/05/2017 15:08

THANK YOU VERY MUCH OP!!!

Since I opened that M&S link, my laptop has been covered with adverts for dresses of similar hideousness!

NOW what do I do?

Primark had this a few weeks ago, but apparently it's sold out now Confused .

Oh, i love that dress, also really love the red one DontBeASalmon posted, I seem to like a lot of clothes MN doesn't though, I accept that I have awful taste. On the upside, if everyone else hates the clothes I like sale rails will be full soon Grin

Nousernameforme · 02/05/2017 15:13

I see your revolting pink number and raise you a tropical bird shirt dress in viscose non the less

It could be worse - it could be pale lilac lace!

Is it from the Barbara Cartland collection?
