Having seen the hi-vis and oversized section in this Guardian article I am eagerly awaiting the M&S must have hazmat suit for A/W this year. It’s bound to be really special.

dear god that is repulsive. They must sneak these in for a laugh surely? What magazine was it in? I really want to see someone wearing it. This nust be an April fools joke mustnt it? Everything is wrong with it. The fabric. The color combinations. The weird belt. The hideous fit. The horrible asymmetry. Must be a bet. No one thats been to art school could legitimately come up with that.

There is literally no style this could appeal to! And fuck you MN - this is now angrily flashing up as my sidebar advert. :/

It looks like a textile GCSE project, where the poor pupil only has gruesome materials to choose from.

It's still not as bad as this hairy chest dress.

And it's been reduced from £300 to £150.

I can assure you that no one would have bought this in 1965. Or 1975 either. Or any decade I have lived through.
It's such a shame - one of my wardrobe staples is a plain black, knee length, v neck, sweater dress, 50% wool and 50% acrylic. It has a St Michael label. Every time I wear it people say what a great dress. That was what M&S used to sell.

Bishopston I can barely breathe after seeing the “hairy chest dress”!!! GrinGrinGrin

Where the hell is selling that?

Do you think there were just no women at all involved in that “design”.

I quite like the style but it's the really awful colour scheme let's it down , bet it would be much nicer in complimentary colours

That droopy hem thing is going to be out of date incredibly soon.
But yes, agree M&S have surpassed themselves this time.🤣

Wtf are M&S thinking? Words cannot describe the hideous mismatch of the materials and the unflattering style....

Thanks OP, I needed a laugh.
M&S, congratulations, you’ve surpassed the pink blancmange dress - something I didn’t think was even possible. Flowers

Wow, well I wasn't expecting that when I clicked on the link.

What magazine was it in? I just searched to see if I could find a photo of someone wearing it and I know you'll be shocked to hear that I haven't yet.

I was going to offer to try it on and take photos. But it's out of stock everywhere near me. Shame Grin

Thistlebelle - it's another classic design by Wolf & Badger. Everything they sell is hideous.

I stand corrected. They sell lots of designers' stuff. It's like they've gathered all the idiots in one handy website.

I like it

...said no one, ever. I now have it running up the sides of my screen in an ad, too. Presumably Marks have a team of buyers who go out and choose what to stock. If they'd have shown me that dress, I would have told them for free 'don't stock it'.
