Latest must have dress from M&S.

Too early for an April Fool's day joke. Maybe it could be used as a shroud - 'though I wouldn't be seen dead in it.

I note there is no photo of someone modelling it. They'd be a laughing stock.

I'm sitting here wearing it now. I think I look lovely
(Lie alert!!)

I think it's the colour of old ladies bloomers. I cannot think of any woman, of any age, who would look good in that dress. The dresses in the 70s weren't gathered with several layers of knicker elastic around the waist like that one, and they were better cut too.

Yes, I used to wear similar as well, Laura Ashley floral with two inch of broderie anglaise petticoat peeking out underneath. Never in pink though. I think it'd look cute on the right person (probably one of my DDs, and definitely not me ).

Actually I am wearing one, as I post.

Only joking. It is absolutely hideous!

I remember something similar in the 70’s, in peach but mine actually as a nightdress ( I couldn’t afford a proper one). Then of course I was about 18, and it was what other people were wearing. Definitely not now!

and Cherrytree

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end

and grannyactivist's sister

Bbevan you had the same thought!

Well, it's horrible! and too expensive for a nightie.

Come to think of it, I may have had something of a similar style when I was young - Laura Ashley - but not that ghastly pink and it had flowers on it. Worn with a floppy hat.

My immediate thought was little house on the prairie too.
No wonder they are losing sales

Do M&S fashion dept. have a death wish?

Hideous as a dress and worse as a nightdress- who chooses this rubbish?

Horrid style, colour and price.

Laura Ashley rides again.

grannyactivist I had similar in seventies.
Purple,
I wore it with a white lace cotton waist slip that was a couple inches longer than the dress.
And floppy hat and large sunglasses.
Or with white high boots.
Thought I was the bees knees

Now I think granny with lace cap, shawl and night candle

Except I am that gran!
but it definitely won't be making it to my wardrobe.
Awful colour (IMHO)

Ouch!

This one's not much better either

Still could always double as a nightie in an emergency!

What has happened with fashion over the past few years is that, at one time us oldies could wear pretty much what the young are wearing. But now, things aimed at youngsters are designed to look frumpy on us but great on them [that's my theory anyway]. Blush pink is so last year, though [or even the year before].

Stone the crows that's awful! Is it any wonder that M & S are going down the pan and having to close stores? What demographic are their buyers aiming at?

Hideous! I can’t think what the target market would be for that!

Very 60's I think - my sister certainly had one similar in a floral print that she wore with a floppy hat.

Little House on the Prarie comes to mind.

They must be joking!!!!
