It's obvious she has never had to care for an elderly relative or the last thing she would do is design a dress that looks like a giant Kylie Pad. grin

It's hideous!!! Looks as though it's made from cheap dressing-gown material...

I had a maternity dress just like that, but made of cotton, in the summer of 1984. I can't think you would want it quilted. It would make quite a stylish dressing gown over leggings and long sleeved t-shirt.

Awful - only a complete fashion victim would wear this. How is it "flattering", someone could look like Mr. Blobby under there!

YUCK!!! I wouldn`t be caught dead in it!

Wouldn't take much of a gust of wind to show one's knickers wearing that blush. I usually like the stuff she designs but this is awful; methinks it's to get a bit of publicity.

But at least it is multi-purpose, with a set of tent pegs in your handbag it could double up as pop-up tent on the beach.

Wearing that I would look like a Beluga whale!

I used to have a dressing gown made from material that looked just like that confused

Penstemmon Wed 11-Sept-13 18:24:57

tall and skinny just get away with not looking like a sack of spuds but size 10 + or anyone with proper boobs would look awful!

I love drop waist dresses but not like that!!

Penstemmon Wed 11-Sept-13 18:28:02

It looks OK in the first shot of VB but when you see it side on or from the back it just looks like she's got my dressing gown on..not a good look! It frightens the horses! grin

Vile.

That frock is the funniest thnig I've seen today! What moron thought that was a good idea?

She looks like a little girl wearing something from her mum's wardrobe.

Something from the back of her mum's wardrobe that has long been forgotten.

The material looks absorbent - could be useful! grin

I normally love Victoria's designs, but I can't imagine what she was on when she thought this one up. Not helped by the clumpy black shoes that do no one's legs any favours.

I'm wondering how many Boy Scouts she is sheltering in her bell tent?

Lona Thu 12-Sept-13 07:52:00

I don't know how much it costs but it doesn't even have a lining shock

minky Thu 12-Sept-13 09:24:59

Looks like a grey panty liner crossed with an eiderdown. And somehow (and din't ask me how) makes her legs look butch and hairy. Yes - I know they are skinny flawless things in reality. Jealous? Me?

Lilygran Thu 12-Sept-13 09:52:09

It doesn't even start to fit!

Penstemmon Thu 12-Sept-13 10:17:14

A dress that fits is so last season dahling! grin

minky grin

aaaaaw giver her a break she's just a regular hard working mom! She didn't have time to get the hem right on her homemade looking frock cos she's been too busy ironing David's shirts, there are about 10,000 of them! That's why she only gets time to eat 17 edame beans a day! It's a damn tough life and don't let us forget she has on going problems with her bunions, it's quite understandable she's stony faced most of the time.

gracesmum Thu 12-Sept-13 12:01:30

grin you're all heart you are!
