Where are you all shopping now?

And yes it’s still a website but crap.

You're not wrong the website is crap. Missing information on items all over the place. I contact customer service to ask about what material an item is made out of. They can't answer me because "that information is not on the website".....
I know, that's why I messaged you 🙄😂

Their website has always been bloody awful!!

Sorry no help about alternatives, I've not really bought anything but basics for a couple of years because my weight has fluctuated and last 18mths I've only had to wear my work uniform and pyjamas/sloggies 😂
Also I'm pretty disillusioned with stuff out there at the moment, I struggle to find much I like or would suit me and if I do it typically is way out of my budget. I might have to post here at some point for help 😁

Go to a big Sainsburys. Their clothes are nicer and much cheaper than DP! It was a revelation during lockdown when our local big one had all these lovely clothes!

Sorry I’m just on to say I thought your “dear partner” had closed down 🤣

Me too, and I still don't know what they're talking about as I've never heard of a supermarket (?) Called DP

I second the sainsburies. I get stuff from there often. And as others have said. Next do a ton of other stuff online as well as their own.

M&S are doing Jaeger now.

😂😂😂 I had to read it a couple of times too.

I used to like DP. It was good for shorties like me! Luckily I bought 2 pairs of short-girl skinny jeans in November and have 2 other pairs of their jeans which should last me a while if I can still get into them but I liked their dresses as well.

BettyBurntBuns · 18/06/2021 09:03

I liked DP as their wide office shoes where ok, I could find a few staple office tops and skirts.

I do shop at Sainsbury’s but some of it is a but not my style.

I’ve been to next but I’m hoping online is better. The airport next is good!

I've bought a few things from them since they got taken over and I was really disappointed - expensive, not amazing quality, take FOREVER to be dispatched and the last one just never even got sent (took 4 weeks of being fobbed off before I eventually got a refund). All the while I'm getting almost daily emails of sales and offers. I used to love them but I just don't know if I can face trying again.
