They have surpassed the awfulness of the pink frock & gone to a whole new level of ugly. The worrying part is from original idea to shop floor lots of people got a chance to say no to that dress...

MayFayner · 10/03/2018 20:09

I was so keen to see this I actually looked it up on the M&S website (I'm not in the uk so links just bring to their homepage).

Wtf. And guess how much it is here?

€120. A hundred and twenty Shock Shock

Are you having a laugh M&S. That's nothing near the exchange rate. I'm not buying anything else in there now that I know how much they're ripping us off. Good to know actually.

Batteriesallgone · 10/03/2018 20:10

EIGHTY NINE POUNDS

They would have to PAY ME more than that to wear that hideous thing

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 10/03/2018 20:12

Oh dear, I must admit I clicked on that link thinking OP was exaggerating.

She wasn't.

Thistlebelle · 10/03/2018 20:13

Two of the reviews mentioned wanting it after seeing it in a magazine. From this picture it’s quite hard to imagine anyone wanting it.

Does it possibly look better with a person in it?

It does rather look like something you’d use for an ugly sister costume.

Thistlebelle · 10/03/2018 20:14

Brown velvet and lilac satin. Such an interesting combination.

Notmyrealname85 · 10/03/2018 20:15

They have to pay me more than £89 to wear it!

You could play Mary AND Joseph in the Nativity wearing that.

VioletCharlotte · 10/03/2018 20:18

Good god, what were they thinking?? That's a truly hideous dress Grin

Batteriesallgone · 10/03/2018 20:18

It does rather look like something you’d use for an ugly sister costume.

Yes that’s it! Perfect for panto!

Ginza · 10/03/2018 20:18

AHAHAHAHA

That has made my day

beargryllshasabigrope · 10/03/2018 20:19

Shit me I wasn't expecting that. What a hideous dress!

IAmALamp · 10/03/2018 20:19

I really like it!

MyBrilliantDisguise · 10/03/2018 20:20

I winced when it first appeared on my screen (the SHAPE!!!) but when I scrolled down and saw the blue bit, I nearly screamed.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 10/03/2018 20:20

I would look better wrapped in my Granny's duvet cover.
That is rank.

Cynara · 10/03/2018 20:23

Like pp, I expected to find that OP was exaggerating and clicked on the link hoping that I wasn't going to secretly quite like the article being held up for ridicule. Then I saw it, and Oh, good grief. I can't believe they have the brass neck to charge for it.

ForkIt · 10/03/2018 20:27

Even my 5 year old whose style could best be described as ‘homeless eccentric princess’ is shocked...

LoniceraJaponica · 10/03/2018 20:29

It's hideous isn't it.

I don't understand why, when 4 people have reviewed it with a total of 11 stars out of 20, the average review score is over 4. I think they are fiddling the scores to make it look attractive.

That pink ruched midi dress that customers also viewed is hideous as well.

EnidButton · 10/03/2018 20:29

The description sounded alright. Clicked on it...

Oh no.

No.

EnidButton · 10/03/2018 20:30

I mean there's no just need for it is there? Too far M&S. Too far,

EnidButton · 10/03/2018 20:31

So horrified by it that I mangled that last post.

' There's just no need for it.

EduCated · 10/03/2018 20:33

Fuck me, that’s worse than anything I could have pictured before I opened it.

Redcrayons · 10/03/2018 20:33

Ffs that's horrible. Says something that they couldn't find a tall willowy beautiful model to make it look nice.

Fair play to them that they leave the terrible reviews up.

Bbub · 10/03/2018 20:38

Lets get some people trying this on and posting pics, the pink dress ones were hilarious! I will pledge to try it on on Monday and get a pic!

LancashireTea · 10/03/2018 20:39

Fuck me that is one ugly fucking tea towel with sleeves!
