To think this photo is not appropriate to advertise a dress?

[TheGoodEnoughWife]

Is it just my raging feminist thoughts with this photo that is being used as one of the pictures of a dress offered for sale on a high street store website. Is this appropriate? I don't think it is but one might say that that is my weird view and actually it is a perfectly okay pic? (!)
I think it looks like a 'come fuck me' picture and that is not okay?!

Can’t see anything inappropriate myself.

Is this M&S by any chance? I looked on their website the other day and the photo angles are just bizarre. Have no idea what the clothes might look like on.

Doesn’t look remotely sexual to me either. She looks quite relaxed, it’s a nice dress, the angle makes the shoes look MASSIVE (daren’t say her feet!). Can’t see an issue.

What about her knees?

Can’t see anything wrong with this. It’s not flattering, sure, but it’s not a “fuck me” picture.

It’s a weird angle.

Where’s it from, please? I’ve been looking for a long-sleeved denim dress!

Raunchy?!

I am not getting raunchy from this photo at all.

It’s this. The other photos show it more clearly.

It makes her legs and feet look freakishly large but it's not inappropriate at all.

It’s because it looks like she’s put his shirt on for breakfast after a night shagging, OP.

Less come hither and more shagged out.

Christ, OP.

She looks like she's knackered and has a spinal issue.

How anyone could see 'come fuck me' in that is bonkers.

I don’t think you could get more opposite of ‘come fuck me’.

Nice shoes, shit dress.

Me neither! It looks like it was trying for that but failed.

You are not giving feminists a good name

Wow. Anyone with big feet will be feeling great!

Raunchy? are we seeing the same picture?

There is nothing remotely 'come fuck me' about that picture. It does nothing for the model, or the dress..the lighting and composition are dreadful.

Hmmmm. That’s absolutely not what I see on this picture. It’s a woman sitting in a slouchy ‘I don’t give a fuck’ pose wearing a comfy dress. Kinda worried what you’d say about the way I sit at home while typing this comment 🙈

HOWEVER. Most advertising actually features women deliberately in a ‘come fuck me’ positioning. Check out some perfume ads for example. Having worked in advertising for a long time, this is actually a phrase often used on shoots, or when choosing the perfect shot of the female protagonist. I have learned the art of conveying that sentiment with my eyes and smile at the camera.

So there’s definitely a tree to bark up, but I really don’t think this is the tree!

Not many people have feet 3x the length of their head!

Not as bad as the Shein adverts for kids clothes that keep popping up on my fbook timeline!

Really?

It's just an odd camera angle, how anyone gets raunchy I have no idea!

It looks like she's wearing shorts and a top - pjs maybe?

That does not look like a dress.

She also seems to have massive feet and tiny hands.

It’s not remotely sexual or alluring (quite the opposite) but it does nothing to sell the dress.

You need to put those pearls down. That's not at all sexually provocative. And even if it is, is it to the extent it has gone so far that it's inappropriate for adult women to look at? Noooo! 😂

I think I agree with this.

Also It's a very 'man' pose stereotypically-I'd say It's getting away from stereotypes if anything.
