Looks like she's wearing a pinny over her little black dress.

If they took the 'ard' from the 'foulard' they would be describing it correctly.

I love playing Per Una! That one's been on here before, but it's so gobsmackingly wrong it's always worth pointing at and laughing.

oh no , apologies for the Per Una double spot faux pas! Still I am genuinely staggered at the range of horrors on offer there, season after season. Who on earth buys it?

paulapantsdown · 15/10/2011 21:43

Ooh Speziale is truly vile. How I Love the this big floppy gem. Behold, the fanjo-flap cardi

KenDoddsDadsDog · 15/10/2011 21:49

You know what? I have a fear of the day that I will like something on the specials threads. So far I'm safe though Grin

FoofFighters · 15/10/2011 21:56

The floral applique detail 'makes it extra stylish'. Discuss

These have me wheezing in manner of arthritic spaniel.
I wonder if i could pit in an FOI request to M&S as to purchasing demographic?

Clinically insane I would imagine.
Perhaps it is some weird tax avoidance scam?

oh god that flower applique dogtooth skirt [hshock]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a bobbled cardi-tux!

The key to tasteful studded sequinned wear is less is more

BattyDevineIntervention · 15/10/2011 22:25

Is that Per Una model really, really cheap?

No. She was in fact quite expensive. Because she knew she would never work again

wailedfig · 15/10/2011 22:38

I know it's stating the bleeding obvious, but it never fails to amaze me that those clothes go through multiple stages - the design, the approval, the samples, the production - and no one at any point says, hmm, that's really quite foul. In fact, presumably there are worse designs that don't actually make it.

WeepsInPaleDew · 15/10/2011 22:54

Oh please stop...

I can't move for laughing. The designers are taking the piss, surely? I wonder how much they get paid? Does anybody know? I am genuinely interested.

I have a small box in my cupboard which contains paper dresses/outfits from Bunty magazine, with which I used to "dress" a paper model many,many moons ago. I wonder if the lovely Speziale designers would like them as inspiration for their next collection. Pretty similar tat stuff.
