The pinkest, frilliest monstrosity from M&S will cower in the presence of this dress...

I'm with you OP- it's vile.

KurriKurri · 12/01/2018 12:21

If you think that is the worst dress, you've clearly never visited the Wolf and Badger site

The 'Whatever happened to Baby Jane' dress

The 'Torn Hospital Gown' dress

BubblesInTheTub · 12/01/2018 12:22

Oh jeez. Nice I guess for when the "Victorian drapes" trend comes back around in women's fashion Confused

cindersrella · 12/01/2018 12:25

I think it's quite cool. Could wear it myself mind you Smile

cindersrella · 12/01/2018 12:25

Couldn't

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 12/01/2018 12:28

It’s certainly not the worst dress ever... but it’s a bit ugly, yes.

Can someone please point me into the direction of the pink MS monstrosity? I’m very curious :)

CheeseAndBeans · 12/01/2018 12:28

Not the worst thing I have seen, I couldn’t pull it off though!

alltoomuchrightnow · 12/01/2018 12:31

Apart from the neck I love this! but yes v 90s

Bluntness100 · 12/01/2018 12:32

Meh, the m&s dress was worse. I could see some perky 19 year old making that dress work.

The green monstrosity that Shirley posted beats the pink m&s dress though. They've outdone themselves this time,,,

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 12/01/2018 12:38

Btw, the green ‘monstrosity’..

If it was just the skirt with other shoes and an other top (not velvet top) or just the velvet blouse / no velvet skirt?

Someone young, slim, tall and slightly quirky could make this work im9

mari652 · 12/01/2018 12:40

If you took the dressing gown I had in the 80s, lopped it off and then put pink panels in the sides and put in an elaticated waist - you would have this. And would then put it straight in the bin. Hideous.

RunningOutOfCharge · 12/01/2018 12:42

I quite like it too!!

MaddieElla · 12/01/2018 12:43

I will see you and raise you...

PasDeDeux · 12/01/2018 12:43

I've found another of these 'track dresses', this is worse I think:

www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/dresses-442/trackdress-by-adidas-originals-7225482?bi=20&ps=20

Who is wearing these?!

ChickenPaws · 12/01/2018 12:46

Just. Why? Confused

I have found the worst dress
MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 12/01/2018 12:50

Chickenpaws

I love that it has 'How to style it' at the top.

I'm thinking with at least 6 elderly cats and a slight smell of carbolic soap.

MrsExpo · 12/01/2018 12:51

Eek. Not for me, but the M&S one is probably higher up the Yuk list.

SlowlyShrinking · 12/01/2018 12:51

I quite like the dress in the op.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 12/01/2018 12:53

Chicken - that one looks like it's been styled on Amy Farrah Fowler! Grin

That ASOS dress isn't the worst I've ever seen. The Selfridges one might be, though! And the ADIDAS one - ugh.

That M&S green velvet ensemble - well, I'd probably wear the skirt of that, but definitely not the rest. I have a similar one in maroon velvet. Not so shiny though.

ooodile · 12/01/2018 12:54

I think the OP's dress is channeling Tonya Harding on the training rink.

Jassylaunderette · 12/01/2018 12:58

The adidas dress is definitely worse. It looks like a warm practice ice skating dress. I used to have one a little like that...for ice skating only. It's quite ugly I can't imagine any teenager I know of wearing it.

GerundTheBehemoth · 12/01/2018 12:58

It's not great. No wonder the model's trying to sidle out of the photos.

ooodile · 12/01/2018 13:01

Chicken but it's a big mad melange of crazy perfection. I have to say I love everything about Gucci under Alessandro Michele. I'd look totally bonkers in it, but would give it a go (if I had many tens of thousands £££ to spare)

dissapointedafternoon · 12/01/2018 13:03

I really like this

lolaflores · 12/01/2018 13:03
