No

Like star prints ( mostly, though they're in danger of being done to death). Hate the sleeves and the fabric.

OublietteBravo · 27/09/2017 21:36

The nicest thing I can say about it is it looks.... flammable.

Mum2jenny · 27/09/2017 21:37

Not my sort of dress at all.

TheFallenMadonna · 27/09/2017 21:38

I like the print.

Badcat666 · 27/09/2017 21:43

It looks like something from my mums old 1970's wardrobe and made from the same "keep away from naked flames" material of a dress in the same colour I had back then as well.

Abigail's party anyone? I'll bring the cheese and pineapple on sticks and the babysham....

Fucking hell

Efnisien · 27/09/2017 21:51

I don't know who they think they are designing for.
If at 65 I'm their intended age bracket
They can think again

Just no

Please go away with those dresses!

BikeRunSki · 27/09/2017 21:57

I saw this in M&s earlier in the week. I quite like the print. There is s similar bile green one, which is really nasty.

patientzero · 27/09/2017 21:59

I love the print but the fabric and style are incredibly “Halloween costume” so not for me

whitesklyer · 27/09/2017 21:59

my mam wore this "frock" in 1989 when my first cousin ( the oldest of 16 first cousins) got married. My mum was 36 - I thought she was ancient . It still looks bad now..... Da-mn who is the buyer for M$ S??????

badbadhusky · 27/09/2017 22:00

Another polyester horror. Another set of gravy dipper sleeves. Who is buying these things?

Pomegranatepompom · 27/09/2017 22:02

Looks very ageing ...

badbadhusky · 27/09/2017 22:02

I'm also now conflicted. Is it worse to click on a Daily Heil link or the M&S website so the damn dress follows you around for weeks? Devil and deep blue sea.

HemanOrSheRa · 27/09/2017 22:04

Why are these sleeves a thing? They are horrid. I'm short and round and look like a hideous lampshade in anything with these stupid sleeves attached.

QueenofLouisiana · 27/09/2017 22:04

@badbadhuskey I'll find a link to the post I started on it, there was a photo at the start! Then you can avoid either!

littlebillie · 27/09/2017 22:06

Halloween special

QueenofLouisiana · 27/09/2017 22:07

Here you go

badbadhusky · 27/09/2017 22:08

It's OK, queen. I already soiled my reputation by clicking on the DM link. And the dress is hideous.

Tessticklesyourfancy · 27/09/2017 22:19

Part with good money to look a complete tit and get static shocks from that dress! Who are these people?Shock

fabulousfrancesca · 27/09/2017 22:54

I like the print but the shape is awful. I think I saw they'd done a skirt in the same fabric, that might work...

ZenNudist · 27/09/2017 22:55

I was in m&s buying tights and stopped in my tracks by this fright of a dress.

Briefly looked round for the rest of the halloween clobber.

daisygirlmac · 28/09/2017 06:41

This is definitely something worn by someone called Astral, usually to be seen wearing skirts with mirrors, will cleanse your house of bad energy by doing a special dance in it, also reads tarot cards. Her name is actually Diane and she lives in a respectable semi with her Mum
