I think the clumpy, high heeled Mini Mouse sandals work wonderful well with this.

No, I don't like those either.

Although I can remember wearing something similar when I was young. What was I thinking!

I wondered where my Nan’s tea towels had gone, perhaps the company is called Nobody’s Child because if I saw my daughter wearing that I’d disown her !?

Nanna58 Sat 16-Jul-22 11:19:59

I did too Callistmon, so shouldn’t be so superior ?‍♀️

Lexisgranny Sat 16-Jul-22 11:25:27

I can’t remember a period when I have walked into M&S so many times without buying anything. I feel similarly about their website.

I remember having a Laura Ashley midi dress in a similar style years ago are we going backwards in styles I wonder.?

Such a shame somebody has mixed up all the pieces from two dresses before stitching it together.

Kittye Sat 16-Jul-22 13:19:20

It’s dreadful ?

Daisymae Sat 16-Jul-22 13:22:57

Actually made me laugh and I'm not having the best of days ?

ExDancer Sat 16-Jul-22 13:24:00

Its hideous. I agree with Blossoming.

suep1953 Sat 16-Jul-22 13:25:05

It’s hideous, almost as bad as this one. ?

snowberryZ Sat 16-Jul-22 13:27:31

They really don't ow their core customers very well do they? That would look hideous on most people
It's no wonder some of these shops are struggling.

I bought a lovely summer frock at m and s this year, £39.99. I was lucky I think, saw it amongst a mass of other summer frocks like the one in the link. Awful, unattractive, unflattering.

Robin49 Sat 16-Jul-22 13:39:46

It’s repulsive

Charleygirl5 Sat 16-Jul-22 13:44:42

The one above is hideous so God knows what the other looks like.

I am reduced to buying food, I have given up on underwear because I can get better quality and cheaper online.

Is the pale fabric just the early version of the dark one, before it's had the black/navy printed on it?

Georgesgran Sat 16-Jul-22 13:47:35

Hells Bells - that’s definitely different. Dare I say an acquired taste - certainly not mine. As the saying used to go ‘I wouldn’t be seen dead in it!’

MayBee70 Sat 16-Jul-22 13:48:58

How strange. It would be quite nice if it was all one colour.

Lucca Sat 16-Jul-22 14:02:51

There are a few horrors

Marsha Sat 16-Jul-22 14:06:45

Those M and S dress are awful! On the other hand, looking at this thread, I had an ad pop up for Roman and this dress looks nice…..

My DD was looking at dresses when were in Marks on Wednesday. She said “To think, people actually get paid for designing this stuff!”

Marsha Sat 16-Jul-22 14:10:21

And this one ?

Marsha Sat 16-Jul-22 14:10:49

.

Ailidh Sat 16-Jul-22 14:12:00

It looks like something from the Great British Sewing Bee makeover round. Not the winning item.....
