A STYLISH mother and daughter duo headed to M&S to try on the same clothes to see how they looked on them.
Hayley, who is a size 12, and her daughter, who is a size 6, headed to the British retailer to try out their summer collection.

The fashion influencers were eager to see whether the collection would suit both of them and one dress went down a treat.
Hayley said: "Mother and daughter size 6 versus size 12 try on haul."
The first M&S dress they tried on was the Denim V-Neck Tie Detail Midi Waisted Dress.
Hayley was impressed as soon as she put it on, saying: "You know what I love about it on me. first of all I can fit my boobs in it.
"I love the length of the sleeve that hides my wobbly arms. It has pockets."
The mum said she wasn't usually a fan of pockets as it makes her hips look bigger, but didn't find it a problem with this dress.
The dress was a success for both as her daughter gave it a thumbs up and it cost just £49.50.
Next, the pair tried on a maxi red paisley dress, but it didn't impress them as much.
Hayley said of her daughter: " She looks like something out of Little House on the Prairie."
"I love the colour, the look the pattern. I think it's better for an over 40s but it's gorgeous."
The UK's best M&S for clothes
They also tried on an oversized white broderie blouse and denim skirt, which neither of them was impressed with.
The top was far too big with Hayley adding: "It makes me look like I'm pregnant with the triplets."
While the haul wasn't an overall success, the denim dress was a favourite with the duo and viewers.
The clip shared to the TikTok account @ hayleyscurvyclothing went viral with over 135k views and people were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
One person wrote: "The denim dress looked the best!"
Another commented: 'Stunning."
"She won't know what Little House on the Prairie is," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "M&S clothes seem to be so large this season."
"I like the denim dress the best,' claimed a fifth.
