The advert came up on Facebook and I had to some clicking to find out what was going on with it and I'm still confused

Er... what??? That dress is absurd.

I would just assume that anyone wearing a dress like that had split beetroot juice down one side and gloss paint down the other, couldn't afford a new frock and so cut them up and sewed them together to pretend it was a fashion statement.

I would admire her and piss myself laughing .

Thanks OP, this elicited a much-needed lol

Mummyoflittledragon · 30/09/2017 13:16

Size 14 is oos Confused.

For those days when you just can't decide what kind of woman you are. Am I a navy tea dress kind of lady? Or am I short flirty peach bodycon kind of girl? I just can't decide. 😕

I know! 💡

I'll wear both! Hooray!! And it won't look silly at all.

MrsPringles · 30/09/2017 13:21

That is all kinds of hideous

Ewanwhosearmy · 30/09/2017 13:22

Is it real or one of those joke websites? Surely nobody would walk around dressed like that?

TheStoic · 30/09/2017 13:26

Two cute dresses...ruined.

WheresMyTaco · 30/09/2017 13:27

Bloody hell, people out there have paid £550 for that monstrosity!

Well clearly they haven't! Grin

It's haunting my MN advertising already though

Miserylovescompany2 · 30/09/2017 13:29

It just looks confused?

Pangur2 · 30/09/2017 13:32

Shirleyphallus fair point I suppose!
I bloody love them, but I am above a 12 and I definitely want to look like a swing dancer, haha! I suppose I have proved your point!

Re: this dress. It is completely mental but it'd get you noticed! I kinda like it and kinda hate it.

Madbum · 30/09/2017 13:32

I thought it was a website glitch 😂

BikeRunSki · 30/09/2017 13:33

I like the blue side.

MrsExpo · 30/09/2017 13:33

EEK! ... like the blue half though .... shame about the rest of it ....

SilverDragonfly1 · 30/09/2017 13:36

The model is not really selling it...

Sparkletastic · 30/09/2017 13:37

Agree on the Lindy bop shit. I’m a fatty but I’ll be damned if I’m forced to look like a fatty in fancy dress.

Sparkletastic · 30/09/2017 13:37

Also that dress is hideous

Now, now, people: what's with all the mockery?
Surely you too want only half of your dress to reflect [quote] "high dignity, fleeting beauty of life and resilience".

SnooGliffer · 30/09/2017 13:42

Dear God. A cut-and-shut dress.

Nanna50 · 30/09/2017 13:52

Reminds me of a fancy dress me and a friend did years ago we cut an outfit up and a nightdress and sewed the two halves together we did half our hair and make up and messed up the other side (night dress side) and went to the party as the night before and morning after Glitterball

MaryShelley1818 · 30/09/2017 13:54

Good lord!!! That's absolutely ridiculous...I think you'd have to be really desperate to be seen as 'cool' to wander out in that! And I'm all for individual and unique style.

SteampunkPrincess · 30/09/2017 13:54

the dress in case anyone wants to see it

waltonbornandbred · 30/09/2017 14:00

Thanks
