A couple of stick-on boogly eyes would cheer this right up

Is this going to pop out of a bin, shout something cynical to the other denizens of Sesame Street, and then scuttle back under the lid?

This jacket is made of ostrich feathers.  Trimming garments with feathers is undoubtedly a nice touch, but using them all over a jacket makes the thing look like a particularly hacked-off heron standing disconsolately by a frozen pond.

I doubt it will do very much for a lady's silhouette, either - in the dark you'll look like a roided-out bodybuilder about to launch into the door staff.  Albeit one in heels.

Miss Selfridge, £125.

  2. Miss Selfridge should supply a par of plastic stick-on eyes with every garment, to distract from the horror. One can make any item of clothing look friendly with Muppet-style eyes.
