Monsoon Dress buttons caught in DD hair

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 !)

EduCated - Good to know that MN is populated by strong, independent women that don't need men....!

I am the same, by the way...

I don't need no man.

My mum may have rescued me from similar situations previously Blush

This thread has given me such a good chuckle.

I regularly do the car window up and later find out half my hair is trapped in it. The worst thing is that this happens on a shamefully regular basis.

chopin I agree that having a voice and feeling heard is very important after a trauma but don't you think it might be a bit better for OP and OPs DC -and you- if instead of escalating a common mishap to a trauma you were actually able to actually just shrug it off as merely 'a bother' and at best 'a laugh'?

I got stuck in my tent for ages the other week when my hair got caught in the door zip. My Guides all wondered where I was - they couldn't hear my cries for help over their singing. I am traumatised by the whole event and may never go near a tent again ...

Am I the only person who thinks the OP has a point?

Toofattorun · 21/08/2014 21:30

...by that, I mean a point up her bum and should get a life.

Delphiniumsblue · 21/08/2014 21:30

Probably.

Superb thread, thank you for giving me a few hours of laughs Grin

That was to Toof, not Delph.

Toofattorun · 21/08/2014 21:42

I once fell asleep with chewing gum in my mouth and woke up to find it stuck to my hairy Scaramangita.

I'd like to say it was me who found it but it wasn't... Grin

spiderlight · 21/08/2014 21:45

I once shut my hair in the washing-machine door and then stood up. That bloody hurt.

If buttons are now a H&S no go area, does this mean we have to use velcro for everything instead?

Do you remember the friends episode when Monica gets her hair braided and then gets it trapped on the shower curtain?
