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

I like it. It wouldn't look good on me but I do love things that are a bit 'different' and eyecatching.

Thanks, Faerie

It's a criminal's perfect outfit: m'lud- theshoplifter was wearing a blue dress! No! She was wearing a pink dress! Grin

CakesRUs · 30/09/2017 14:07

It's bloody horrible. No idea who would wear that.

Fekko,
"Looks like an old music hall act (no I'm not old enough to remember!) when the actor would be half man, half woman and do scenes by themselves by turning to face left or right..."

Like this? Grin

it's very Emperors New Clothes. I reckon some numpty was making one dress, the wind blew the pattern over and they ended up making another dress. A bit like Rachel from Friends and her trifle/lasagne. And no one felt able to say "well that's a bit wrong" in case they were outed for being off-trend Grin

WhataHexIgotinto · 30/09/2017 14:45

Also agree with PP about Lindybop. I hate that look, it seems so unoriginal now. Size 14 or over? Must have a Lindybop dress. No thanks.

Fekko · 30/09/2017 14:46

Zuzu that's it!

haveacupoftea · 30/09/2017 14:50

That dress is bizarre. Also adding my voice to the lindybop hate. I tried one of their dresses as I too am fat. You know what's worse than being fat? Being fat in a frumpy dress.

Iris65 · 30/09/2017 14:51

It reminds me of the Friends episode when Rachel makes an English trifle, but two pages are stuck together so the top is trifle but the bottom is cottage pie.

Someone ran out of creative ideas and decided this would be a good fashion statement

blueberrypie0112 · 30/09/2017 14:56

Must be inspired by two-face villain from Batman

MikeUniformMike · 30/09/2017 15:19

You could wear it to different events making sure to only be photographed side on.

LovelyPrep · 30/09/2017 15:38

I could sort of see it working on someone like Miranda Kerr and the kind of people who look good in a bin bag. I also prefer it to Lindybop crap too. It's different at least.

pantrylightout · 30/09/2017 15:41

it's not my cup of tea

KurriKurri · 30/09/2017 15:42

I expect Tess will be wearing it on Strictly tonight (possibly accessorized with a robobelt)Grin

noeffingidea · 30/09/2017 16:06

I assume it's one of those jokes, to see how gullible and willing to have the piss taken out of themselves (and pay for the privelege) people can be. Like scientology. I always think a lot of fashion comes under this category.

MyLearnedFriend,

Pics, please, if you decide to go ahead [you know you want to].

ditzychick34 · 30/09/2017 16:59

What? Confused

SinglePringle · 30/09/2017 17:04

Agree it's at least better than hideous Lindy Bop shite.

Whitecurrants · 30/09/2017 17:06

I like it

Jux · 30/09/2017 17:12

It doesn't work.

newnamechange84 · 30/09/2017 17:22

When I first saw it I thought someone had made a mistake. Until I saw the model in it... 🙄
