Monsoon Dress buttons caught in DD hair

[crookedwindow]

Hello. I am trying to find out if anyone one else has had a similar problem with a monsoon summer dress. The dress has tiny square buttons down the back and when my daughter wore it to her birthday party on Saturday her hair became entangled badly enough that I had to cut it away from the buttons. I have been complaining to monsoon and they have assured me that the dress was tested but were unable and possibly unwilling to tell me how this was done with a child with long hair. My daughter's hair is quite long and it was French plaited with the length of the plait coming down the middle of her back so it was testing on the buttons. I think there is nothing unusual about the my 8yr ( she was 8 on Sunday, this dress is age 9 because my daughter is very tall, she has size 3.5 feet ) old having this hair style.

Monsoon were quick to tell me that no one else has complained. IN interested in trying to find other people that have had similar clothing issues. Has anyone ?!

(also if there is a better place to place this please tell me !)

One grin wasn't sufficient!

I put my sunglasses on the top of my head earlier and my hair got tangled up in them. < slinks off to compose letter to Boots>

You have two choices. Either you get your daughter's hair cut short, or you don't buy dresses with buttons down the back. Simple really!

Back in the days before trampoline springs had those protective covers I got my hair stuck in one of them once. Twas quite grim.

Reckon I was about size 2 in shoes at the time but am now a euro 40, or sometimes 39 if the fit runs a bit large.

This isn't an 'experience' and if this is an 'experience' for the OP's DD then the OP should congratulate herself on ensuring such a carefree life for her child so far.

op you think you've got problems. I will never ever forget when dd with long curly hair decided to run her go go hamster over her head. The feckin thing rolled itself tight on top of her head and ended up looking like some weird fascinator (it was wearing a ballerina tutu) . I can still hear those screams and it came v close to a 999 situation (oh the shame). Had to get dh to headlock her in the end so she kept still long enough for me to cut it out. Needless to say the little fecker and all the other 15 gogos went in the bin. Of course we were awarded compensation of six figures for the trauma to my dd me

What an unfeeling post script. you are referring to a real child you know!

Maybe you should think before putting smart comments up about a little girl's physical appearance.

I once super glued two fingers together. Minutes before a call to arrange a job interview. While I was wall papering the kitchen .

I once got my very long hair stuck in my flatmate's round hairbrush. We all know that long hair and round brushes are a deadly combination (remember to tell your dd this, op). My flatmate was out, so the very kind man who had come to paint the sitting room spend nearly an hour gently disentangling the brush from my head.

Reader, I married him.

(No, I didn't. Never saw him again.)

I'd forgotten all about it, but this thread resurrected an old trauma.

I must have been very young when I tried to brush my sister's hair and got it all tangled up.
She had lovely blonde locks. My mum had to cut them off.

I don't think she's forgiven me to this time.

Thanks for reminding me OP.
Hope you can live with yourself

please tell me a gogo hamster isn't a real hamster

Damnit, Jux, I was just thinking that was a really sweet story. You unfeeling swine

Hmph you lot are horrid.

My children make video messages all the time to help them work through devastating experiences.

The time Tesco's freezers were on the blink and we got home to melted Funny Feet ice cream. - Trauma

The time dc1 got her shoelace caught in the street grid, it took her a whole big tug to pull it out. Anti council Twitter campaign

I feel sorry that none of your children will be as well rounded and able to manage terrible situations as mine.

Jux - Did you give him the brush off?

Chopin If this is a real child and a real situation, then I sincerely hope she isn't reading Mumsnet.

Maybe you need to stop taking life quite so seriously/being so gullable.

Tape recorded message? What happened to children being seen and not heard?

Will no one think of the children?

She could have a lifelong aversion to pearly kings and queens and may well have the opportunity to sing "Knees Up Mother Brown" [sadface]

You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Monsoon haven't road tested their buttons for plait-proofing because nobody else on earth requires this to be done.

What would Jesus do?...

Make some wooden buttons with his leftover wood

Or if was hair conscious, he might have turned the wooden buttons into a wooden zip

I once caught my hair in a door handle...

This is not a place mark oh no...

Was the door handle wooden?
