that awful pink m&s dress...

[Bleurghghghgh]

Is now haunting me via ads, with additional horrific items! Thanks MN!

And if you want a matching coat......!

Found this horror in Dunnes today. It's even worse up close as the flowers are iridescent plastic with crystal centres.

And it was €60!!!!

My eyes! Get some garlic and holy water on that thing.

Honestly?

That's about the only thing in the shops that would match it!

chester - those of us old enough to remember when most clothes sold in the UK were made here know that they had their share of nasty synthetic fibres and garish colours in the 60s and 70s.

The bloody thing is popping on my mumsnet screen ads now! Nope, even beautiful slinky models leaping around, laughing like loons make it any more attractive.

Another model questioning her life.

100% polyester btw. Felt viiiiile.

At least she is getting paid - and if she's really lucky, to keep the outfit!

ErroltheDragon we also had beautifully made, well designed and high quality fashion that was the envy of the rest of the world and was copied worldwide. Marks and Spencer and St Michael brand was very high quality and affordable. We also had a garment industry in London.

I have just laughed my arse off at this. The model looks confused. As you would.

Earmuffs? Is it earmuffs?

I thought maybe she was keeping her packed lunch in there

Actually I think it's where she keeps warm little orphaned baby hedgehogs, squirrels or bunnies. She's an animal rescue person.

Saw it in the store the other day and thought what a horror it was. Even Margo Ledbetter a la The Good Life couldn't have pulled that one off although her dresses were what it reminded me of 😅

I think M&S should insist their staff wear the pink dress as part of their uniform.
Put their money with their mouths are, as it were.
I mean, if it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for them, right?
Or is that being plain evil?

My M&S uniform from the 80s was made of very similar fabric. Just not pink.

It does feel like an old Tesco uniform I used to have, back in the days of "Dottie".

White with red polka dots. That was royal pain in the arse to keep clean.

I think M&S should insist their staff wear the pink dress as part of their uniform

Well it would certainly increase their football. I for one would go in more often just to have a little look at the staff. 😂

I was in M&S Walsall today.

It was so quiet, I could hear a single customer's footsteps walking all the way from the back of the shop to the front.

I cringed.

I just spotted this delight and thought you were the right people to share it with.
At least with the m&s monstrosity you are only £45 down, this costs £250!!
Wtf has happened this year? Designers have all lost their minds

To be fair that's not bad.... for library curtains.

It does have a certain bookcasey look to it, doesn't it?

Holy fuck!

What the almighty fuck is going on?

Was there a mix-up with the containers at some Far Eastern port?

Did some upholstery fabric destined for rags get switched with the dress fabric that was meant to be sent?

The styling is one thing but the fabric is atrocious!

I quite like the fabric. Though perhaps I'd prefer there wasn't quite so much of it

does my bum likes fucking weird Abigails party dresses

Word is that they are launching the frock of horrors in other colours and floral print!
