Er, it's an everyday cotton dress worn with everyday boots. It's a perfectly wearable everyday outfit. Could be worn to the office, pub, restaurant.

Yup - it’s an ordinary dress with boots. Nothing remarkable there, surely?

Love this pose. Why wouldn't we want to know what the dress looks like in an extreme A frame power stance?

She's going to need at least two pairs of socks in those huge boots

It's more that the angle makes the boots look enormous...like giant's boots. I like the power stance, that's a good look.

It's a ridiculous choice for the main picture, it doesn't do either product justice.

And it's a good way of demonstrating how much material is in the skirt

Are we looking at the same photo? 🤣

It's like they're trying to compete with Zara's useless photos.

I think it’s the angle off the photo in the first pic, makes the boots look ginormous.

I laughed at this while browsing M&S on the app!! She looks ludicrous, enormous boots in comparison to the rest of her, wtf were they thinking! I've noticed other weird poses/perspectives as well. You have to click through to get a reasonable idea of what the clothes look like.

First pic is hilarious, makes her boots look enormous. Second pic is silly, albeit in a different way. Wonder if Marks is taking a leaf out of Raey’s book, they always have the model in ridiculous poses too.

It’s so interesting to be reminded that other people see things differently!

In general I wouldn’t consider that shop when looking for clothes - but I think they’ve tried with these photos and I applaud them for it.

And I adore most Zara styling (on their website, apart from the more recent faux selfie monstrosities) even though I know most of the actual clothes are frustratingly poor quality.

If anyone ever asks me what the Alice-in-wonderland syndrome I get with my migraines feels like, I shall show them that first photo!

I quite like the dress, HATE the boots. I cannot stand anything western style! The boots drown the model and in that first pic they totally detract from the item they are selling - the dress!!

Some silly angles but I like it, and I'm not even into dresses. 100% cotton too. Very annoying that I'd have to buy before I could see it for real and try it on but that's 21st century shopping for you.

Which in my case shows it's probaby narrower than I'd like for that style of dress, but it's a nice dress.

Honestly, it's a slightly odd angle on the first photo but beyond that I don't get what has caused the hilarity.

It's still miles better than the weird, selfy pouting in a mirror poses some websites use, or the obviously photoshopped exotic locations.

Dread to think how Sezane would have styled it.

I am sure the photographer gets bored and thought they'd go for the Tim Burton approach to posing, very long legs and short bodies!

I thought, surely there must be a pic of the model just standing there so we can see the dress properly. Instead I found this horror. I mean wtf is she even doing?

This!

Aargh, sorry. THIS!

We all had a look though didn't we.

Yes that’s exactly, looks like Zara photos. I hate buying stuff of their website.

Yes.

I don't never look at anything on the selfy in a mirror sites or the fake exotic locations. Sezanne's styling is so irritating I never look at anything on their site either.

She's doing that thing when someone is trying to take your picture and you get all awkward
