knock yourself out

Has anyone seen this in real life or is it a online sale speziale special?

You have a point there- Ringmaster. Could look foxy with a top hat and a whip! Reckon it's not what M&S's design team were hoping to achieve, but there's a few of these 'looks' that could pass as fancy dress.

Colour block leggings???? - - - just what I need to complete my Smurf Summer look ! - deep joy!!

Just caught up with the full thread on return from hols. Love that review, Hermione. Very impressed/ surprised it got through. Must have been its subtlety. I once had one censored because it contained the phrase 'camel's toe'.

MediumOrchid · 12/06/2012 16:43

No - I'm not looking at any of these links. Even though I want to. Last time I read one of these threads about M&S, I had a look at these horrible trousers, laughed at them, then adverts for them followed me around the internet! I had to keep looking at those horrible trousers for weeks. And now, I've ordered a maternity swimsuit from M&S, but adverts for maternity swimwear are still following me around - I've bought some already!! Leave me alone!

So no, I'm not clicking on any of these link as I don't want to keep seeing them for weeks! though I really want to

Is "You just don't get wipe clean beauties like this" the review you wrote, Hermione? Lol :o

SalAbility · 12/06/2012 17:05

I believe a warehouse full of decades old stock has been discovered. Stock which was clearly not selling first time round. So, in these economic times, the brilliant decision was made to replace labels and see if anyone would notice. It must be that, surely. That, or they should perhaps help the designers with their, erm, consumption problem.

wildfig · 12/06/2012 17:24

Last time I looked it was showing 'over 10 in stock' in all sizes. Now size 6 has sold out! Is this a sneak peak into Kylie Minogue's newest stagewear?

dexter73 · 13/06/2012 08:20

As it is now reduced to £12 it is almost worth buying just for a laugh!

caramelwaffle · 13/06/2012 13:29

Sale. Sale. Sale Sale. Sale! Knock your selves out

Itsgottabebags · 13/06/2012 16:39

I reckon you could cut it up and make a cushion or two with the fabric.

Queenofcake · 13/06/2012 21:32

Queenofcake · 13/06/2012 21:35

I love the reviews for the item too!! Some one says in their review about the above Twiggy £9 Trousers as - "Will turn Heads" Grin.
You bet they will love!!!!!

wildfig · 13/06/2012 22:47

No. They will turn stomachs.

Good Lord. I've time travelled back to being shouted at by our school dinner lady, Mrs Barwell, circa 1976.

polyhymnia · 13/06/2012 22:52

Imagine Twiggy is well paid for 'her' range - much/most of it is dire.

drjohnsonscat · 13/06/2012 22:53

I guess for the models in the video, this is the point at which you realise that your modelling career has never really taken off.

The ladies in these two pics are sharing the same unfortunate Geography teacher on a field trip sandals. At least I think the second one is a lady - it could be wee Jimmy Crankee in his summer wardrobe. Also, note to copy-writers - do not use the word "comfy" unless selling zip-open shoes.

cosysocks · 14/06/2012 20:41

AAArrgh since lurking on this thread and clicking on the links I am now being stalked by M&S, but not only that they keep flashing the hideous clothes at me with a very convenient 'buy now' button.

oldqueenie · 16/06/2012 22:25

here

Emo76 · 16/06/2012 22:33

It is showing as SOLD OUT. Surely a technical error?

dexter73 · 17/06/2012 06:12

Those reviews were too good! I sort of regret not buying one now Sad
