ASDA £8 sundresses.... I implore you to buy one !

very , very nice. and flattering
Can I just point out that if a dress is £8 then it is very, very unlikely that the children people who made it received a fair wage.

Before everyone rushes to post that not all of us can afford fair trade clothing, do note that some people on this thread have bought 2 or 3 dresses... for the price of 2 or 3 sweatshop dresses you could buy an ethically made dress at M&S.

Here's a report on how ASDA/ WALMART use cheap labour:

I got the black spotty one last week and ordered the green and brown one online as they only had size 20 left. It arrived today and is really nice. I am usually a clothes snob blush but I promise these are genuinely lovely, nice to wear and really flattering.

I also found the straps a good couple of inches too long though and I'm 5ft 7.

I just ordered three of them online...will probably end up sending them back though!
hmmmm nope, don't like those.
I saw someone else wearing mine today (while I was wearing it of course!) but it was in M&S not Asda. Somehow that made me feel better about it. blush

*I saw a mum at school in the green one and it made her look enormous.*

Oh my god hope that wasn't me, In my defense I am preggers although not far enough along to use it as an excuse grin
They look like an acorn antiques apron
Well there you go lissie - take off the frilly bit and cut the straps to make a halterneck!
I have the red spotty one grin
Its a funny length though. And its a bit low, and the straps are a bit long. (its not me who is too tall with a short body obviously!)
Its also a bit see through. So I will have to wear big pants under it.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
