Shoppers are now covering their washing machines in ‘dresses’ as part of an unusual new decor trend – but not everyone is on board with the ‘elegant’ look.
Made from a delicate lace material, the ‘dress’ is designed to protect the washing machine from dust and any unwanted particles.
The ‘romantic and elegant floral design’ is described in the product description as a ‘unique gift for women’, but many Australian shoppers have mocked the product and branded it as ‘unappealing’ and ‘impractical’.
