that awful pink m&s dress...

[Bleurghghghgh]

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

sailaway quite a bit of her target range is on eBay - if it is genuine

I want to try that dress on and see how awful it looks.
ASOS have somewhat lost the plot as well.
I don't think this designer passed their textile GCSE

Pics or it didn't happen!

Oh my! Even the model face is like can't believe you are making me wear this, this is going be photo shopped for the real top,right?

Took DH to view the frock this afternoon in M&S - the static gave him a bit of a shock, and he refused to try it on. Very disappointed!

Has anybody else seen this dress in m@s? I looked at it on the hanger and for a moment thought they had branched out, and it was a care assistant's uniform ....

Oops

Gingernaut - you are a legend! For some reason I keep picturing Victoria Wood in the pink dress singing about crimplene!

Weirdly, I thought of this dress when I was watching Mitch Benn sing songs about celebrity deaths in 2016.

He sang a cute, 'Wood-esque' song about Victoria Wood.

I don't think she'd have worn it though.

Maybe "Berta" or "Miss Babs" from "Acorn Antiques".

The dress has pride of place on a mannequin in my local M&S's enterance too. I was going to try it on to give myself a laugh but I couldn't bring myself to lift it off the rail and bring to the changing room incase anyone I know saw me.

Well done Ginger for taking one for the team. You're a braver person than me.

Bluntness100 needs a big up too!

She tried the dress on and it fitted better

Sorry, missed your post Bluntness. Well done

Excellent work. I walked past M&S today and laughed so much at the pink dress of doom proudly displayed on one of the mannequins that I inhaled a fly and had to be thumped on the back by strangers. Joy.

I wonder if they've sold any. I mean seriously (not to Norman Bates or madam Tussauds).

So are we having a virtual flashmob MN try on next Saturday or what?

To be fair to them, this is the year the catwalk says hideous ruffles are the solution. This is Hobbs - normally a safe bet for reasonably attractive stuff

hideous

And then as if that's not bad enough there's this as if lumpy brown ruffles were helpful to anyone.

So are we having a virtual flashmob MN try on next Saturday or what?

How about a donation to a cancer charity and a picture.

Some good has to come out of this. Surely?

Backingvocals - To be fair to Hobbs, there are some bee-yoo-tee-full items there.

And I bet sandpaper rough fabric is in short supply.

M&S seem to have gone to the cheapest fabric wholesaler and just swamped the shops with complete crap.

I don't say that lightly. I bloody love Marks.

As I was getting nearer to Marble Arch M&S on the bus today i was thinking of you lot and having a chuckle I was hoping the dress would be in the window so I could see it in all its glory and yep pride of place. It even looks crap on the mannequin. It really is supposed to be loose I just thought ginger had the wrong size on😬 I can't wait to see someone in real life actually wearing it 😊

I'm with SailAwaySailAwaySailAway!

Donate money to a cancer charity.

A factor or multiple of the £45 the dress costs (£45, £5, £9 or £1)

Take a mirror selfie wearing the dress (maybe borrow a mask).

Post it on Mumsnet.

Do Twitter hashtags get picked up if they're not on Twitter?

If so, #marksandspencer.

Two birds with one stone. Good for charities and a lesson for M&S.

I'm doing it on Saturday.

Don't leave me hanging.

Looking at the sign in the window I actually wonder if m&s are trolling themselves.

None of those sleeves are remotely flattering.

Here is an attempt at styling the pink dress: quirkycurlsfashion.co.uk/2017/04/ms-styling-edit/

It looks ok but only because the stylist is adopting artificial poses. I think she's also safety-pinned it to get more of a waist - you can see this in the second photo taken from behind.
