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.

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.

My first thought on seeing this ad on Instagram was that it was nice they were using a disabled model. :lol:

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

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

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. :lol: (my Mum made herself one, but also sewed herself a slip to wear under it :)) ).

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.
