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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The pink thing looks like static pepto bismol.

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.

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

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.'

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

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.

Fuck that's awful.

I do love Margot Leadbetter though, she was fierce.

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

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.

Margot rocked her outfits, unlike these poor ladies.

Stella McCartney. Almost as hideous for £600+.

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

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.
