It looks like a cross between an 80s bed valance and a sack of potatoes. Or am I missing something?

Just why?

SirNiallDementia · 29/04/2017 18:43

I just knew this would about something from m&s!!!!

SirNiallDementia · 29/04/2017 18:45

I saw that pink monstrosity on a mannequin in m&s today. I can confirm it looks no better in reality.

LizTaylorsFabulousTurban · 29/04/2017 18:48

It's in the window of the one near me. Everytime I walk past I can't help but look puzzled. It looks like something you would hire to go to a 70s theme night.

TSSDNCOP · 29/04/2017 18:48

The instant whip pink thing is totally Margo Ledbetter, I'm staggered there's not a marching turban.

WellErrr · 29/04/2017 18:49

It's on a par with those awful wide leg leather trousers from M&S last year

neveradullmoment99 · 29/04/2017 18:50

I cant imagine anyone looking good in this either:
Its the model that reminded me of the toast one. She looks very similar [dowdy and drab] The red dress is £165!!!!! She looks awful in it.

Hideous.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 29/04/2017 21:25

Oh My Christ. Some designers really hate women, don't they?

PerspicaciaTick · 29/04/2017 21:30

I knew I'd seen that brown dress somewhere before...it featured in a Horrible Histories item on medieval fashion.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 29/04/2017 21:30

Fucking hell, those are all dire. £165, who the fuck would buy that?

IHaveBrilloHair · 29/04/2017 21:33

The pink thing looks like static pepto bismol.

neveradullmoment99 · 29/04/2017 21:38

ha ha ha...that picture made me giggle.
I cant believe companies would use these images sell dresses. They all look AWFUL. It would totally put me off.

ChocolateDoll · 30/04/2017 01:33

Can we raise a Freedom of Information request to find out how many of those brown dresses they've sold?

user1484615313 · 30/04/2017 01:39

Ewwwww.

EnidButton · 30/04/2017 02:40

Oh my god. Wtf is wrong with them?! Confused

"Boo hoo our profits are down. We don't understand whyyyy."

Take one bleedin look at what you're trying to sell people. What buyer possibly thinks that looks good? How many people did it pass before getting to the shop floor and no-one thought to say, 'hang on a minute guys, it looks like an old potato sack.'

QuestionableMouse · 30/04/2017 02:45

It's a shit brown sack. No thanks M&S.

herecomesthsun · 30/04/2017 02:52

The pink thing has a special feature as a star item on the website, it would seem. Be "the belle of the ball".

I agree about the shapeless brown thing, but I also feel a lot of Toast items are similarly shapeless and unalluring.

Archduke · 30/04/2017 03:01

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaahahahaha

Fuck that's awful.

I do love Margot Leadbetter though, she was fierce.

Littlelegs19 · 30/04/2017 03:16

How awful! Even the model looks pissed off having to wear it! Oh M and S, what were you thinking! 🙄

Bluntness100 · 30/04/2017 04:53

The pink dress actually made me laugh. Had to look at it twice just for the chuckle factor. 😂😂😂

I don't know what the m&s buyers are thinking, they really are buying in some atrocious stuff.

TheDowagerCuntess · 30/04/2017 05:43

Margot rocked her outfits, unlike these poor ladies.

Bum40 woman'll try to flog us it, no doubt Hmm

Stella McCartney. Almost as hideous for £600+.

Should this also be on the more money than sense thread?

Hellobye · 30/04/2017 07:15

Yes hideous BUT there are loads of tops in the shops exactly like that. Off the shoulder and shapeless. I just sent one back I ordered from Boden. Really unflattering.
