Found this yesterday. The shop has no fitting room or mirrors Confused and the dress has no labels so I had to just hope it fitted me when I got it home. It cost £5.99.

It did Grin.

Has anyone else had a good find recently?

Fab find!
I got a Petit bateau snowsuit for £2.50 looks new or hardly worn. Weathers not that cold so might not get much use, but at that price who cares

Oh that is beautiful! I love a good chazza find. Last week I found this Pure Collection wool/cashmere ankle length coat, still with its tags on, for £2.99. A little Googling revealed it was originally £249! There's one currently on eBay for £100. It may be the nicest coat I've ever had! I also found an oak Mulberry East West Bayswater for £10 a while back - had it checked and it's genuine Grin

Oooh nice find OP!

There's nothing better than finding a charity shop gem!

I bought some cool pink shoes from my local RSPCA CS a few months back. I'll see if I can find a pic.

You look amazing in that OP. Amazing dress but you carry it so well.

I love a great Charity shop find. Last week I went in and the shop assistant pointed me at a long almost unworn Hugo Boss cardi for £5. Sh'e googled it to be over £300.

I've had some lovely chazza stuff over the years. Boden knits, Whistles frocks, and an unworn brand new pair of snow boots for dd last week. All the kids books are from there.

I managed to pick up a pink lining changing bag for £3. Was pretty chuffed until I left a banana in the bag too and stained the inside! Sad

Bought a brand new coat for £10 in our local charity shop. Didn't recognise the label as I know nothing about fashion. Google informs me it should have been THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY ENGLISH POUNDS.

I have that dress! It's one of my favourites, I think it came from one of the 'designery' bits in Dorothy Perkins.

You look gorgeous in it!

I love a good charity shop bargain. Love all the items pictured upthread. My problem is that I have a habit of picking up things that need altering in some way and as my alteration skills are not all that my stash of charidee shop clothes to alter is growing Blush . I have now resolved not to buy any more until I complete at least one alteration project.
