Latest must have dress from M&S.

Gabriella; can I just point out that janeainsworth is the sort of person who would look great wearing a dustbin bag [a la Debbie Harry!]....

I often think its easy to predict what will appear in the sale, .

It's retro and if you are young enough and style it well why not? TBH they're not aiming this at over 30s

I wore the better version of this in the 70s together with the floppy hat etc.

Regarding the (in)famous pink dress, yes I saw rails of them in the store sale. I actually think it might have been better than this peach one.

That must be why Kate wore that hideous dress the other day. It was in that style and looked like she was trying to disguise herself as a pair of curtains.
That Markies dress is a cross between the gypsy dresses of the 70’s and an old flannelette nightie my great Granny wore. What a laugh!

Who decides what we 'must have'? It's such a silly phrase and often refers to something they need to get rid of because nobody really wants it! I can't imagine either of my GDs wearing this droopy garment - well, the younger one, at 15, is about 5ft 1in, and seems to have stopped growing. I doubt if she's likely to find anything like this in Primark even if she did want it.

It is awful, but I saw one that was just as bad! It is in the Autograph section - also pale pink, with ruffled sleeve. I stood open mouthed in front of it. I'd love to know how much of some of these dresses they sell.

Those who are the age now that we were in the 1970s when we wore dresses like that will probably love them both!

Yes the little house on the priarie inspired this terrible creation.

Jeez! That's like something out of the Victorian era!! Have to say I think it's vile ?

just sent a comment to M&S saying how terrible it looked. Maybe a few more comments would be a good idea - not the way to entice customers, i would say!

It looks a little bit like my wedding dress from 1974
I wouldn't be seen dead in it now!

I think M&S have lost the plot

If that's you in the photo...it looks fine. If not, then do you look anything like that?

Lost for words!

Ugh - and the colour!
I think that sort of peach must be the least attractive colour on earth - akes yu look like you're wearing nothing...

Can you honestly see anyone who wears a size 22, buying this monstrosity?
The dresses are world's apart. The M&S disaster is a much heavier material and has waist ruching and those horrible ends to the sleeves which collect food from your plate at mealtimes.
The previous 'hot suede skirt' was very heavy and flapped annoyingly on your legs when walking. I tried (and returned) it.
M&S should stick to food.

Wide sleeves, flounced skirt, fussy waistline, overpriced- what's to like?

Really???? It looks like a throwback to the dreadful 70's smocks and florals. Only someone stick thin would look good in this! I think M&S are having a giraffe

Eurgh !!! gross. I would look like a string of sausages in that dress.

Really awful ! I see on their website that size10 is sold out so perhaps it does appeal to younger women. Saying that my daughter who is in her 40s would hate it

What a hideous dress but no doubt they will sell out of it if Kate M or Meghan M is seen in it!

I remember wearing something similar a long time ago. Offered to buy it for my DGD (17). Her opinion. “Those sleeves are SO last year.” “What is that colour.” “ No thanks.”
