Just bumping this up, because it's so funny and such great therapy.
P.S. don't like the dress much, IMO 80's fashion was a mistake the first time around and best left to slip into oblivion, rather than being revived.

Flamesparrow · 31/01/2007 13:43

pmsl - thankyou sooo much for bumping

Awwww - I don't hate the dress, but wouldn't pick it for myself. M&S is normally bad on site, so thats not an issue.

The links was just fun - laughing with you rather than at you (you know you were laughing really... ) I like the way you never gave up!

AuldAlliance · 31/01/2007 13:58

Yes, I hope you don't think I was laughing at you Charmkin. I was laughing with you, as you were being so persevering even though the links thing is a complete nightmare and I usually give up. It was funny because other people's interventions went wrong too.

Just going to try and post a link here myself, so you can come and snigger when it doesn't work and say I have really bad taste...

JackieNo · 31/01/2007 14:05

charmkin - love this thread, and actually I like the dress too - go for it.

Fimbo · 31/01/2007 14:10

I have just read this thread through and it is very funny.

But it it high time MNHQ changed the description of how to do links, I had to get help from MNR's how to do them as it confused the hell out of me.

nailpolish · 31/01/2007 14:16

omg that is the funniest thing ever

the dress is ok but there are far nicer out there

Nip · 31/01/2007 14:42

Charmkin - you are a star - this thread is brilliant...

compo · 31/01/2007 19:20

Had to come back to this - rofl at your dh's comments on the dress
I think you should wear the dress, remember this thread and laugh inside and you won't care what anyone else thinks... you know you're a comedian

charmkin · 31/01/2007 20:32

ok am not cross anymore
seeing the funny side

but seriously
if you have peruna in your ma dns try that dress on it's better on

mand s photos are unique in retail for making clothes look worse than yhey actucally are

Now I know this showing my age but that dress reminds me of something those laydeez from Flletwood Mac might have worn.....

charmkin · 31/01/2007 20:41

ok i don't know who they are
but guessing it's not a compliment

wheelybug · 31/01/2007 20:44

great thread - would be the funniest I'd read for a longtime had it not been for the BMC fanjo stitching thread...

(have no strong opinions about the dress btw)

KTeePee · 31/01/2007 20:49

Band around in the 70s (or maybe even earlier!)

I just have a thing about fashion styles that have been around before (in my lifetime).... I keep wanting to shout at teenagers today "Invent your own style, stop copying what we wore 20 years ago!"
