A shocker tonight - and I think she knows it. The dress is wearing her and she keeps pulling at it. Two tight and giving her a stomach and flattening her bush - and making her look hunched over.

Then that strange thing going on at the front which looks like a used curtain frill and serves only one purpose - drawing attention to her knees.

Tess, you are a beautiful woman but it is more than time for you to learn what suits you and this white horror with all the black eye liner and the over-bleached hair makes you look past it. Why do you do it?

^^ Everything I wanted to say, bit put so much better than I would!

Pardon
I agree though - the dress is awful! I wonder - does she choose her own outfits or does someone in the wardrobe department hate her!

Can't wait to take a gander at Tess' flat bush

Oh guys, I'm so sorry. I meant flattening her 'bust'. Oh my god.

haha I was wondering....

Amy Childs is her stylist this series I believe. They got her on minimum wage!

If you're gonna wear a white dress like that, you've got to have the figure for it. There's a limit to what you can expect Spanx to achieve.
The size of her abdomen, which she tried her best to hide with her cards, reminded me of the O2 Arena.

The white dress is rather too clingy to be flattering. The neckline tonight and last night are better than she usually wears. I wish she'd wear something calf length; she needs to think 'elegant' rather than 'mutton/lamb' because she's stunning for her age.

I remember her once saying that she loves the frocks she gets to wear on Strictly....... well, you only need to look at her hubby to see what taste she has

She looked late fifties tonight in her face with all that black eyeliner and pale lips.
Tess - stop trying to look like a teenager. I know you're married to the oldest one in town but go elegant, not washed-up Essex on a bad night. Terrible tonight. Surprised the BBC allowed you to wear that appalling dress. Oh, and so sorry about the bush remark...Hang my head in shame

I seem to be the only person who quite likes her look. A side view shows it isn't flattening her bust (enhanced - but I certainly don't think that's a bad thing) too much, just narrowing it.

My only comment is that if she wants to show off her long and slimmer legs, forget the 'train' at the back, and just go for the short skirt!

Funniest post I've read for ages....brilliant!!

I'm beginning to think she's doing it on purpose now Surely just by random she should look good every so often? It takes effort to look so bad so often.

l love Tess but she looked awful tonight....The way she stood she looked like a Sack o' Muck...!!!

I think she is one of those women who get stuck in a time warp of when they think they looked their best and the can't bear to move on. With Tess is is still very much an eighties 'look at me' look and I don't think the words elegant and style ever enter her vocabulary. The white horror was particularlu awful because not only did she look awful in it, it was an unsuitable dress for the occasion.

Please smarten up Tess.

From a guys perspective i thought she looked fine.

I definately would.

+1.


I don't think the W.I. are her target audience

She just about always looks fine to me and when not quite so good then I just put it down to "fashion". It's rather like the pictures in the papers of various celebrities at some event or other. The paper's fashion "expert" will often criticise some who look great and drool over others who look terrible but are wearing some famous label.

MIaow, put your claws back in!!!!

Yes the dress was horrible, but I think that sort of comment is b*tchy and unnecessary.

was it a dress? i thought it was a tank top with a skirt from tkmaxx and a belt from primark

anyway awlful ....i think i dress even better for my work do's and birthday parties lol

I always wish she would stand up properly. She is a great looking woman with a good figure but her constantly hunched shoulders often spoils the look of dress she is wearing.

If Tess didn't sport a horrendous outfit most weeks then it would detract from the overall enjoyment! I love seeing what pig's ear of a dress she appears in. One of the highlights for me!

Tess has also been there long enough to have learnt how to pronounce Ola's name properly, but she still gets it wrong.

It's O(as in october)la - not Oh(as in oh dear, I've put a very unflattering frock on)la.

...there wasn't anything remotely fashionable about the white laundry dress and it did nothing for here apart from, once again, make her look old and clinging to her youth.

I've gone past the stage of wishing she would change her style or her stylist. I now look forward to a good laugh every week.
Double laugh when we have the results show that pretends to be the next night.
