I quite like it

It does look like a dressing gown or a deck chair.

it took me a while to realise this kind of bathwear/nightwear was actually a trend

This looks like my dressing gown

It reminds me of those little stripey paper bags you get penny sweets in. Don't like it at all

No, it looks just like a dressing gown to me

Looks like a dressing gown/ hospital gown, even the gorgeous model fails to make it look acceptable. Could never imagine seeing anyone wearing this out of the house!

actually on closer inspection maybe it's been mislabelled

at least the other nightwear dresses I've seen have been ...well more of a dress....? And darker colours and more structure and so on - even then they still looked like nighties. One time I was in Oasis and thought a member of staff was just wearing a nightie....

Dressing gown.

It reminds me of an old fashioned changing tent. Maybe it's meant for putting on while you change into your swimming cossie?

Noticed (whilst rubbernecking what my DH was reading) that the DailyFail have also picked up on this dress - showing it on various sized women:

I've not seen anyone wearing it - how is it a hit? I don't like it

kikashi "how is it a hit?"

right in yo' face, sister.

The dress looks and hangs like a dressing gown & has a frumpy look. Am a) a lover of blue and white stripes, and b) in my 60s but no way would I wear it. Sorry OP

It certainly would get you noticed!
Doesn't make me laugh as much as last year's summer "hit" - that pink crimpolene frilly horror that there was a hilarious thread on here about. People had photograghed themselves in it in all its frock horror!

Made me think of this:

I like it. But no doubt they'll have sent it to every insta mum, so I'll pass.

Oh, that daily mail arrival though. All the lols for the woman who called it pricy, whilst wearing £300 bag and shoes.

You are right Joffrey and M&S are still debating how they lost their way???

You are all wrong; it reminds me of a circus tent.

I can imagine it looking fab on a very made up and glam person, but on me this would look awful and like I hadn’t got dressed! So depends...

I love the woman in the daily fail who said you could wear it with trainers for an edgier look.

Edgy,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joffreymonfrere 😂😂😂
It’s the sort of dress that wears you not the other way round

It's a summer lightweight dressing gown surely?

The Baukjen version that an earlier PP linked to perfectly illustrates how Baukjen have done this kind of style so right and how M&S have it so very wrong. The difference is vast.
