River Island has always been like that. I stopped shopping there c.2004, when every pair of jeans became bejewelled and encrusted with all sorts of shite.

Same, although my last purchase might actually have been a pair of offensively bejewelled jeans, because what looked like my perfect fit on the hanger then turned out to be in the changing room. I really will forgive a lot for a nice fit, it seems. I de-spangled them with pliers when I got them home and we had a relationship fulfilling enough for me to remember them nearly 20 years later.

Yeah, it's true. I used to buy loads in there but some time around the mid naughties it lost me. Or I lost it.

Re: Sack the stylist!
This isn’t so much the stylist, more the photoshopper I guess. I did a proper double take when I saw this in the Prime Day sale. I know this is very much the Kardashian aspirational look, but is this really achievable for most young women??

They are a thing. The TikTok leggings. Loads of people are buying them and then wearing them (pantless) with their bum pushed out.

Honestly, Me+Em, I do like your clothes. But sometimes you go a bit bonkers. This is one of them…

Ludicrous. I'm assuming she's 5'10" as well, they'd be a death trap for the majority of womankind.

Re: Sack the stylist!
My first thought on seeing this ad on Instagram was that it was nice they were using a disabled model.

Re: Sack the stylist!
I’m looking at this wondering what one would wear underneath.

Re: Sack the stylist!
She’s definitely got midriff on show so it seems to be some sort of mini slip/shorts and a backless bra.

Re: Sack the stylist!
It was amazement in relation to RL wearability rather than literal inability to see what the model is wearing.

Re: Sack the stylist!
My mother tells me that when crocheted dresses first came into style, in the 60s, the bold just wore knickers under them, and nothing else. Her boss drove his car into a lamppost apparently the first time he noticed a young woman wearing one walking along the footpath. (my Mum made herself one, but also sewed herself a slip to wear under it ).

Re: Sack the stylist!
Is that a vintage pattern, Wendy? The hood at the back!!!
I’d always thought crocheted dresses they were beach dresses, so you wear a swimsuit/bikini under.
