FYI Winters

Got this Cos dress in the sale and fuck me, I love it. It is just perfect with my cool colouring (and my emerald engagement ring ) and I LOVE the shape. It has pockets, yay. Planning to wear it with cage sandals to some in the future. There's only size European 42 left though now, I see.

Another thing that might be of interest: I recently dyed an old, baby pink but greying, Primark cardigan with Dylon shade Tulip Red. And it is SUCH a good shade for Winters. I wore the cardi this morning and look better in it and no make-up than I do in duller colours with a face full of slap.

Love the dress! I'm a size 10, what size would I order there?

You might be out of luck then tugamommy - I think size ten would be a 38. Maybe keep an eye for returns? They also have a few other dresses in the same colour. The COS website is frustrating and IME the clothes look much better in person - but it might be worth a trawl.

Great dress, not my size sadly :) Thanks for the Dylon tip, I've used a few of their dyes in the past but not tried Tulip Red, and I have some non-winter jumpers that need dying. They do a blue that's brilliant. I don't know what it's called but it comes out a proper vibrant royal blue (cobalt? Don't know the difference. It's bright but darker than Chinese blue.)

oh ok - thanks anyway :-)

Lovely dress. I've also had some success with dylon. I dyed a pale blue cardi intense violet and it is perfect. I dyed a pale green cardigan a darker green hoping it would turn out to be emerald. It wasn't. Flamingo pink is also a good colour.
