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

I want a velvet dress now!Grin

It's awful, but not the worst I've ever seen. Asos has some crazy shit on there

Also, why are they using photos in which she is virtually completely out of frame?

lolaflores · 12/01/2018 13:07

These things are designed for mad shopping when you are desperate to buy something. in your panic, you mistake their monstrousness for "that's differennt and unusual, just what I need." You bring it home, then get ready for the event, realise its shit but not much you can do and spend the day avoiding cameras. But someone gets a pic of you and the rest of your life is ruined.
Then it goes to a charity shop and the whole awful cycle sgtarts again.

It's not that bad! If you were young and trim I think it would look ok.

seagreengirl · 12/01/2018 13:11

Oh no, Wolf and Badger adverts everywhere, bum! Shock

seagreengirl · 12/01/2018 13:11

Wow, they have some actually hideous stuff.

TheFarceAwakens · 12/01/2018 13:12

ASOS have some pretty questionable items, especially within their own range. For example

Ironfloor · 12/01/2018 13:12

@stopcallingmeshirley - you win. Hands down. What even IS that monstrosity? A dress? A dressing gown? A coat?

lolaflores · 12/01/2018 13:12

seagreengirl thats just happened to me too. Pink tulle all over the top of my screen. No way to get rid is there?

Nassau · 12/01/2018 13:13

This dress was on the Dunnes Stores website this morning - it now seems to have disappeared (wonder why?). If they took off the sleeves and lowered the neckline it might be a nice dress!

@TheFarceAwakens that actually made me laugh out loud.

AhJaysus · 12/01/2018 13:15

Fuck that is ugly.

seagreengirl · 12/01/2018 13:15

lola I don't know, hope someone can tell us Smile

foxychox · 12/01/2018 13:18

Here is a pic of the lovely Lindsey from Blue Peter wearing the M+S pink dress (or something very similar) - and it looked like a bag of shite on her, poor thing!

THeFarceAwakens - What a surprise that's less than half price now. The face on the model when she's in the video clip is hilarious.

dingdongdigeridoo · 12/01/2018 13:25

The dress in the OP would look nice on a skinny teenage girl. It’s kind of ice skatery which is cute.

ASOS definitely has worse! Here is a lovely vintage workout ensemble, and a shitty hoodie with holes that has been turned into a dress.

Omg @Nassau hahahaha

Nassau · 12/01/2018 13:33

@dissapointedafternoon - you should see the others in her collection - mathcing tights and all!!

Nassau · 12/01/2018 13:33

*matching

BattleCuntGalactica · 12/01/2018 13:35

It's not THAT bad. It looks shite yes, poorly made and looks like it's hanging off the model like an oversized shirt, but I would be more horrified at a dress that looks like one of those bog-roll holders you see on yer grannie's loo.

MoistCantaloupe · 12/01/2018 13:36

MaddieElla My votes on your dress. That is HORRIFIC.

Worldsworstcook · 12/01/2018 13:37

Yep
It's just naaaasty

BattleCuntGalactica · 12/01/2018 13:39

This is worse! She looks like a hot pink christmas cracker!

margaritasbythesea · 12/01/2018 13:40

I agree MoistCantaloupe.

Scary dresses from Wolf and Badger keep following me around the internet now, most of them with random bits missing and othe bits stuck on that look alarming. Wolf and Badger seem to be the fashion equivalent of Sid in Toy Story.

PinkChestnut · 12/01/2018 13:48

I see your dress, and raise you this outfit:
