why do they do it?

and no my sil doesn't not buy clothes from there before you ask, although it might be because they don't go up to her size lol only joking

but seriously those clothes are so tacky and cheap

I clicked on this convinced it must be another thread started by Plumandolive!

Anyway, I agree. But mostly because I stopped being able to fit into anything they would ever make about, erm, 10 years ago.

I used to like them, when I was thinner
They do some pretty good basic black trousers. In shorter length too!

Isn't it for very young women / girls?

I can't imagie anyone over 25 shopping there and looking good.

oh yes, I have posted my irrational (rational ?) hate for all things Jane N before

(not so) cheap tat IMHO

often seem to be in eye-watering colour combos such as yellow and black (I dont want to look like a rotten banana) and acid-bright pink/black

Well I have the odd top from there and a coat actually, I look nothing like Liz.

Would never dress in JN head to toe mind you, but much preferable to Monsoon and Per Una.....

I am all for cheap clothes, not tacky though but how nice it must be to be able to afford expensive non tacky clothes and be perfect enough to judge those with no money or taste yabu.

Oh dear. I got married in a Jane Norman dress. Black cocktail, very tasteful.
Oh, I also got married in Vegas so I suppose I am irredeemably vulgar.

lol, didn't mean to cause offence

I shop in New Look btw

there is just summat about Jane N I cant stand

probably the fact that I am far too old to shop there

They are for young girls/women with nice figures not old cows like me...I would say anyone of Liz McDonald's vintage should walk past the shop and keep walking! Have heard Jane Norman is doing incredibly well and they don't advertise either so someone loves the clothes.

I would like to be slim enough to be able to fit into Jane Norman clothes...

No offence taken here . A lot of their stuff is nasty.

Yes Puzzle, I'm afraid there is officially no hope for you.

But you are probably very thin and gorgeous with the body of a Hollyoaks star, but the class of Nicole Kidman. I'm sure you rocked it.

And Plum I knew this one would draw you out!
