Would this be a VERY boring thing to ask DH to get me for wedding anniversary? We are a bit strapped and I need some new knitwear.

I may pop in today and check out colours

I saw some nice lace topped crinkle finish camisoles/vests in Tesco the other day for £4. I'm sure they are exactly the same article as Monsoon had (may still have) for £22!!

Agree Mrs SB, am sure that those crinkle finish vests are same as Monsoon. I have a knee length cotton dress with white embroidery on it that also looks like a Monsoon number.......for only £16

I do like their cotton cardigans. I have also bought a couple of their bikinis this year and they are fab too - thick & supportive fabric etc.

Would also recommend their cotton skirts with pintuck pleats. Very White Stuff/Fat Face/Monsoon and for a bargainous £8. A friend of mine has one in white and it isn't cheapie see-through etc.

I have an aversion to 3/4 length sleeves.

Takes me back to being a gangly teenager.

Have just purchased a Magenta one, will add a new dimension to my summer wardrobe.

I think I may go back for a blue one

My mum has become obsessed. Is sending me daily( or even twice daily) updates of stock levels and colours!"!

Red now sold out locally, and she bought a lilac one only to get home and it was on the wrong hanger thus too small

Got loads of compliments.
Bargain.
