I can't imagine who would buy this stuff. Isn't most Mothercare stuff mid-low range price wise.

MarioandLuigi · 22/06/2011 22:31

I did a Hmm face when she said that too. It maybe okayish prices if you have loads of money, but i think the quality is poor for that price, and some of the designs are a bit odd.

It's kind to your pocket because you wouldn't buy it. Grin

The dresses are lovely looking, yes. But £30?! Thats what I'd spend on a dress for ME!

Its like Per Una for kids isnt it!

Hahahahah, slimfit yellow jeans for a baby! Thanks for the laugh knittynoodle!!!! And skulls on a baby top - really sweet!?!

QueenOfAllBiscuitsandMuffins · 22/06/2011 22:40

Fucking hell that's Stella Mccartney at Gap prices (and I wouldn't buy those either, seriously who buys hand wash only for a toddler?)

Cutiecat · 22/06/2011 22:42

MarioandLuigi - you have hit the nail on the head. Per Una for kids indeed.

belledechocchipcookie · 22/06/2011 22:44

baby sunglasses? Who the hell would put sunglasses on a baby? Shock

The clothes are just horrible. Personally most standard Mothercare stuff is more than I'm willing to spend on DS's clothes, and her range is more expensive than that.

Wrong, Myleene!

sungirltan · 22/06/2011 22:48

never mind the price Baby K stuff is chav. I cannot think of another word to describe a shiny black puffa jaocket with gold embroidery on it (last winter collection)

higgle · 22/06/2011 22:50

At least it isn't pink - no pleasing some people.

MrsTwinks · 22/06/2011 22:51

baby sunglasses? Who the hell would put sunglasses on a baby

urm i might. not that id have DC in the sun but if I was going somewhere very bright I might do. I have very light sensitive eyes and often wear sunglasses inside on holiday if there are lots of windows, so I might but them on DC too.

Ugh that swimsuit is a rather vommy colour, isn't it?

Clytaemnestra · 22/06/2011 23:00

I like some of her designs. DD has had a few and lookd very cute in them. Some of it is awful but at least it is a bit different.

But lets just make a joke about her being a thai prostitute instead as that's not racist at all Hmm

bruffin · 22/06/2011 23:00

"At least it isn't pink - no pleasing some people."

Exactly
I like it much better than those dreadful kidsshouldbekids or, the ugly tobytiger clashy stripes, posters keep raving about on MN.

ZXEightyMum · 22/06/2011 23:08

I'm sorry about that, I was referencing an old thread but that is no excuse. Apologies.

Personally I dislike her because of her selfish behaviour on Popstars many years ago.

Anyway. Here is a review of the yellow baby jeans:

"these jeans are absoloutely gorgeous, they are however alot brighter in real life than they look on the picture. i dont mind this because the colour is beautiful and my daughter looks lovely in yellow but it could dissapoint some people if they were expecting very pale yellow jeans. very good quality and fit, im gunna have a very trendy baby :) "

She told Glamour magazine she has framed pictures of her naked pregnant cover shoot on the walls in her home. Would you want to buy baby clothes from her?

MumblingRagDoll · 23/06/2011 00:38

Belle People in Australia do...you have to there if you're out in the sun for a long time.

I don't think her designs are that bad...apart from the slim fit jeans! I like the quirkiness...and the prices are the same aslods of high street shops.

SinicalSal · 23/06/2011 01:06

No - She means her own pocket.

PenguinArmy · 23/06/2011 01:14

we put sunglasess on DD, then again we do live in CA. I think it's as important as sun screen and a hat (I wear sunglasses most days). Having less sunny days in the UK isn't a reason not to, although there is less opportunity for babies/toddlers to get used to them in order to keep them on.

What I do like about the clothes is that they are not the usual pink girly clothes that MC stocks. I once scanned the MC range and could not spot a single item that didn't have pink on it.

MumblingRagDoll · 23/06/2011 01:42

That's true! Not pink...still not sure that balances the tight baby jeans. Hmm

Bast · 23/06/2011 03:03

I love babygrows.

What else does a baby need prior to toddlerdom? Pockets? No. Frills, ruffles and harsh materials? No.

I don't understand 'dressing babies up' at all. A comfy baby is a beautiful thing!

LilBB · 23/06/2011 07:14

I agree it's expensive but it's not as hideous as the winter collection. I saw the shiny black puffer jacket. There was a lot of black and gold in the collection.

My dd wears sunglasses but they were £1.50 from tesco, oh and they are not leopard print!! Who puts leopard print on a baby!! Did anyone see the pram that's in the range? Bet Lynch eat your heart out.
