Another grim M&S dress

[musicmaiden]

Since I really enjoyed the pink dress thread that The Fail stole for an article I wanted to give you a head's up on their latest horror. It doesn't actually look too bad on the model but believe me it is Seventies polyester nightie chic.

Yellow dress

Actually, it would be handy for fancy dress parties. You could wear that one, your mate could wear the pink one and you could go as a rhubarb and custard sweet.

Or a suppurating wound.

It looks like a 1960s maternity dress for Barbara Cartland during one of her adventurous phases.

I can't figure out who is signing off on these designs. Who do they think is actually going to wear this stuff?

Comment from convenient lounging teenager regarding the yellow one: "Who the bloody hell designed that? Not a good look".

I can see Margo from The Good Life wearing the yellow monstrosity

There are some hideous dresses in there right now but in M&S's defence I did bag myself al overly pair of holiday sandals last night in the sale for £5.49 I paid more for the bag of fruit I went in for

Words fail me.

Margo would never wear anything so terrible, dodo.

If she were to wear a yellow maxi dress with trumpet sleeves, it would be in a fine silk chiffon in limoncello with a ribbon waist.

I'd wear the pink blancmange dress every day for a week rather than even try that canary horror on. My eyes .

mumbod

Oh, and a trigger warning next time, please OP

What the...!

Just read the reviews and some people love it! The ones who don't are saying it probably looks good on someone tall and willowy. I admire their optimism but there's someone tall and willowy right there, in the pics, and even she can't carry it off.

HAHAHAHAHA at Barbara Cartland!

It's bound to be a knock off of something from a designer show. The pink one was (Roksanda Ilincic). I expect some designers were 'feeling the seventies and Ossie Clark' and this is what we've ended up with.

I do not go to M&S for catwalk knock-offs.

I quite like it. Actually no duck it, I'm not going to whisper. I'm not even sorry. So there

I love it when you can somehow detect the model's horror!

Buy it Ken and then post pics

I think I'm with Ken Well kind of, it's not my thing - my days of floaty dresses are long gone - but I'm not seeing the hideousness. It's obviously not intended for a trip to Sainsbury's but for a summer garden party with flat sandals, massive sunglasses, a bandanna headscarf and a joint, I think it could work.

The main problem of course, is the polyester. That's yuk. It needs to be very fine cotton or, for a real 70s vibe, cheesecloth.

The wonky hem utterly magnifies the horror.

I noticed when I walked through last week that they'd shifted out all the old monstrosities and replaced them with even more of the same ilk.

I'm dreading the Christmas ranges. They'll probably look just like tartan polyester Christmas trees.

What on earth is an Elliptical Hem?

YIKES! Goodness me. I can't imagine that being flattering on anyone. One of the reviews says they looked like a giant daffodil in it

That has to be worse than the pink dress
And the colour!!!!

One of the reviews says they looked like a giant daffodil in it

The ordered it??????????

i used the f word too. That is beyond foul.

These reviews CANNOT be genuine. People like it???

The model's apparently wearing a size 8!! One good gust of wind and I'd be airborne in my size 14.
