Oh dear. I have no idea who would wear that.

It's part of the Autograph range too!

Wow.

ginmakesitallok · 04/02/2015 20:14

I popped into m&s today, it was honestly the worst collection of clothes under one roof I've ever seen. How do they keep going? I predict they'll be the next big shop to go under.

Primadonnagirl · 04/02/2015 20:14

It's a bit Kate?

dexter73 · 04/02/2015 20:38

There was a lot of very bright pink when I went in today. Made my eyes hurt.

AliceInHinterland · 04/02/2015 20:41

They have got it all wrong, the fabrics, the colours and the design. Why don't they just aim to do really good quality basics? Their home & food stuff are really good, their children's stuff is lovely, underwear obviously a national icon, it would be such a shame if they went under.

BestIsWest · 04/02/2015 20:42

It's out of stock in lots of sizes so clearly someone likes it.

FestiveRoad · 04/02/2015 20:43

100% polyester with 100% polyester lining too!

100% of reviewers (1) would recommend it to a friend.

Quangle · 04/02/2015 20:45

That's very odd. Frumpy and yet cut too short. Would suit older lady who likes flashing quite a lot of leg whilst wafting about in unnecessary chiffon.

I've got a 25% off voucher which I'm struggling to use

They have really lost their way these days. I struggled to spend a £10 voucher in there last week and ended up buying two teen bras for DD.

Behooven · 04/02/2015 21:05

Sorry bigblack it's connected to my a/c for a birthday promotion.

mowglik · 04/02/2015 21:09

I actually like it- Think I'm the wrong age for it now but could totally imagine wearing that!

candykane25 · 04/02/2015 22:33

I can see what they were aiming for but got lost badly.
If it were a blouse, fine for work or dark indigo jeans.
If it were longer it would be a Margaret thatcher secretary dress.
If the neck were lower it might work with skinnies or jeggings.
But it looks very awkward to wear as it is.

The 80s have called and they want their clothes back

Oi !
I was very much an 80s chick and even I wouldn't wear that Wink

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 04/02/2015 23:04

The one I went in today had a lot of apple green. I wondered if they'd put the staff uniforms out for sale by mistake...

rockybalboa · 04/02/2015 23:05

It's very Duchess of Cambridge inspired! And not in a good way...

hauntedhenry · 05/02/2015 08:04

That's just wrong.

KikitheKitKat · 05/02/2015 09:29

I like it! (Apart from the massive bow) Blush

KikitheKitKat · 05/02/2015 09:31

I AM an older lady though so I guess that's OK!

shins · 05/02/2015 09:57

Not sure about Kate, more like Princess Di circa 1985 - what are they thinking?!

And polyester....my teeth are hurting just looking at it

Dawndonnaagain · 05/02/2015 10:03

My gran had a very similar dress, at 99 years old.
