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

[Cantusethatname]

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.

Abbey how on earth did they manage to make it look lovely?!

The bloody thing is following me about now.

Seriously. I'm nearly fifty. I don't want to look like I've had an accident with the strawberry angel delight.

omg. so 70s

How dare you!

The 70s was My Era! We were all turned on, tuned in and dropped out thanks to the the exhortations of Timothy Leary and weed . We have the excuse of not knowing what we were doing, and indeed, not having any sense even when we did know.

The Designers of Today should have learned from our mistakes.

I knew it would be this one or the mustard cheesecloth abomination. I saw it yesterday. DM said I had a party frock similar in 1976 (aged 4).

Maudlinmaud I actually gasped when I saw that...umm...thing you posted. And it wasn't a gasp of delight either!

I think it'ld be nice with right accessories
Yeah, like a bin bag over it

I think we should all go in, try it on and then post pics on this thread
LOL @ Nancy. Yes, that would be pretty funny. I'm almost tempted

Oh my god, Alpaca that really is a pile of shite. Perfect for going to a fancy dress party as a turd though.

That dress is going to have a 'smell' isn't it? You know the smell...hot nylon with a soupcon of sweat, overlaid with a touch of onion

Jesus peace. That's what I'd wear if I wanted to go to a costume party dressed as a bottle of Pepto Bismol.

DD trying to find a dress on sunday was reduced to tears at one point by the sheer awfulness of dresses in general - and we didn't even look at any in M&S (they provided an acceptable pair of black ballet pumps and some very nice chinese food)

This is the dress as published in GH mag.

Yuk

I just showed DD a few of the choicest items ... she genuinely misread Alpaca's entry as 'Bardot Shit Dress'. (she's 18, but evidently still uses visual cues)

Yes you can have a prize, that is truly nauseating.

i love it, but i love a retro outfit

I saw this yesterday in Monsoon. I couldn't stop looking at it, laughing, while the tune 'Prince Charming' played in my head.

Give it a day or two and I bet the blogger DB40 will be raving about that Monsoon jacket.

I quite like it. But then I know I rock shift dresses, and I am quite fond of pineapple and cheese on cocktail sticks.

Oooh TheNinjaWife. I like that too! It would look great with skinny jeans and the glittery gold trainers I have...

I saw this dress and thought 'George and Mildred' 😂

I feel sweaty just looking at it. Yikes.

Honestly, will M&S never learn? Can't someone more social media savvy than I am (not hard, tbf!) put a link to this thread on their Twitter feed? They really could do with some honest feedback.

That orange asymmetrical one!

It's part Fanny Cradock, part Hattie Jacques. So aspirational.

Alex jones on the one show has a jacket on with same kind of arms. Its a thing ( which looks bloody terrible) who designs this stuff! ( they are on glue)

Crikey, that jacket's a bit Cinderella's coachmen.

I saw that exact dress today and just thought WTF!

Do they do it deliberately so that people go to their website to point and laugh but then may notice something they like? (there were quite a few dresses there which looked perfectly fine or even nice)
