Is it a top? A dress? Matching half mast trousers?

Crazy times. I'm assuming they threw some cash at the guardian...

JacobFryesTopHatLackey · 16/05/2017 18:44

They're making more of that pink thing? Its a bestseller?!?

I saw the dress irl and it's the most disturbing shade of pink I've ever seen.

ElspethFlashman · 16/05/2017 19:09

That model is thinking "I can't believe I have to try to make this shit look good. FML"

originalbiglymavis · 16/05/2017 19:12

Just lie back and think of England...

Akire · 16/05/2017 19:13

Ewww so awful, has anyone seen a real life person wearing any of these? I've seen a couple teens wearing nasty patterned leggings you have double look in case are pjs but least not flying half mast.

This stuff is going date so fast. There wasn't a single presenter on all countries of eurovision that didn't have a dress with either one or both sleeve messed with, mostly with
Big stupid ruffle across it. Is there not a single shop in Europe women can buy a dress in a non curtain fabric that has both sleeves present and dosnt have giant frill.

ElspethFlashman · 16/05/2017 19:16

"Bestselling" my arse. That's just their PR department lying through their teeth so M&S can justify the heavy advertising budget around the vile thing.

The Daily Fail hasn't picked up this thread but M&S pay them big money for sponsored posts, don't they?

ElspethFlashman · 16/05/2017 19:20

I think I just found somebody wearing it in real life!

I suspect someone in marketing just saw all the hits and mentions that the dress has been getting and assumed it was for a good reason. Obviously they haven't checked the stocks.

"Jenkins believes the flute-sleeve dress is a winning formula because the customer “loves a dress with sleeves, and a piece that works on its own or with layers”. There are cheaper versions of this dress on neighbouring high street stores, but superior fabric quality gives the M&S piece an advantage in a silhouette where the drape of fabric is key."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 16/05/2017 21:22

Layers? Wtf would you layer that with?

Gingernaut · 16/05/2017 21:24

I'm imagining a lace under dress or slip and a pashmina shawl.

Because there's no way those sleeves are going down the sleeves of a coat.

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 16/05/2017 22:13

"Layers? Wtf would you layer that with?"

A very, very large brown paper bag?

Gingernaut · 16/05/2017 22:16

A little coordinating something from here?

If you read the reviews on the M&S site for the dress now, the gushing praise of the first few reviews have been joined by done more forthright comments. The word "hideous" crops up a fair bit

The mumsnetters have been saying their pennyworth!!

BitOutOfPractice · 16/05/2017 23:14

Ooo is that you lot?

Gingernaut · 17/05/2017 08:09

The Facebook comments under that advert (..."very flattering sleeve") are a joy to behold. 😀

creamcheeseandlox · 17/05/2017 09:54

Also centre spot in my local m&s. And a full range of sizes available surprise surprise Hmm. It was next to that ruffle shirt but in white this time. I actually quite like it Blush

The shirt that is not the monstrous dress!

FunkinEll · 17/05/2017 10:22

I just came to comment on the new colours for A/W, the cream floral one is awful.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/05/2017 11:09

I can't find the different colours on the web site but I give you this, new in!

Suffering Christ!

SailAwaySailAwaySailAway · 17/05/2017 13:02

Aww.
It's nice they've found a use for that containerload of furnishing fabric that went missing in '73.
Waste not want not.

And I definitely want not.Smile

Squashit · 17/05/2017 14:56

Bleurgh! It's like the costume wardrobe from the Carry On Films has been resurrected. That pink dress is particularly Hattie.

The mules everywhere- who the hell is going to wear these monsters?

Squashit · 17/05/2017 14:59

The horror
