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 !)

I once had to cut a toy car off my DD's head - literally! It had motorised wheels and DS placed in near her hair - in a trice her hair had got so wound up round the wheels that it was welded to her head. It couldn't be untangled and she basically had a car grafted to her head .

I couldn't get scissors in to cut the car off as the car was stuck too closely to her scalp and the scissors wouldn't fit into the gap - I thought about taking her to A&E but then I realised all they would do was what I had to do which was basically scalp her a bit! Very, very sharp knife, slice in between scalp and car - hair by hair. It was so extremely tight at that at points I was literally cutting into her scalp. Screaming child. Hyperventilating mother.

End result: car in bin. 5 year old with bald patch. Happy days

OP, you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Educated I have done this too many times

I have nearly drowned many times when my hair has tangled around the tops of my arms, leaving them pinned to the side of my head.

I have got tangled many times bending over to put shopping in the trolley, try to straighten up, hair all plaited around the trolley sides.

I have promised myself a haircut many times

Quangle. You win!

This thread has made my day.

A colleague of mine was telling me about when she got her hair caught in a fan a few weeks ago.

She said "you know when you talk into a fan and you sound like a robot? Well I did that and got stuck. My mum had to cut me out"

She's 22.

Yabu? Why did you need to mention the company at all? Long hair can get tangled - this really shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.

I got my very long hair tangled up in a man's flies on the tube when I was about 4 or 5, very embarrassing for theman to have a small child attracted to his groin. And quite an awkward situation for my mother as she had to try to detach me from the man's groin area.

A perfect example of why young children should be given seats on public transport.

I really can't Understand why people would complain about shit like this unless they were after some sort of compensation.. its a none thing OP, let it go.

although some of these stories have made me chuckle

Dd has very long hair so now I tie it up or don't buy with buttons at the back

My friend caught her dd's hair in the button of her coat and ripped a bit out. Hopefully she complained to the manufacturer. Not sure of her foot size or her daughter's.

I however am a size 4 and once had to have an electric train cut out of my hair.

I have long hair (and size 6 feet, narrow) and my hair has at various times been tangled in buttons, zips, hooks and eyes, velcro and press studs.*

The only safe plan is obviously to go back to the ancient Greek system of having only one fastening for clothes - massive pins. Although those were banned after too many cases in which they were used to stab people, so perhaps not so safe after all.

• That's just clothing fasteners - it's also been stuck in, round and under the usual range of trees, jewellery, lovers, household appliances, doors and doorhandles, and my own teeth.

I got my hair tangled in my top once. I was putting it on, the top kind of rolled up with my hair inside it and I was stuck with the top over my face and my arms caught by the side of my head. Struggled for a few minutes then DH had to come and untangle me.

Also, I have on several occasions swallowed my own hair while eating which is as gross as it sounds.

I once stabbed myself in the eye with a button while trying on a dress, couldn't see out of it properly for weeks!

I have short hair & size 6 feet.

Hope that helps.

Anyone else slam their hair in the car door as well? Or is that just me

Dear lord you really need to get out more.

Or maybe become armish and never worry about buttons ever again.

ikeaismylocal I'm ashamed to say that really made me laugh, I can feel the mortification of your parents down the ages...

Quangle that happened to my friend about 40 years ago. So I win godammit .

My mum had offered to mind them while their parents went out one Saturday night. My friend and I were about eight. Her brother was six.

It always amuses me when people talk on here about the behaviour of modern children.

They were feral and my parents should have been given a whip and a chair to handle them. Tasers didn't exist in those days.

We were watching the Two Ronnies. I was behaving nicely. She wound him up. He got so frustrated he pulled the drawstring on his Hot Wheels car and let it go in her hair.

My mum tried to untangle it but had to cut it out otherwise she would have been scalped. There was a bald patch.

Their parents came by pissed and very late and started abusing my mum for ruining their daughter's straggly hair. They were hoping to put her in the Miss Pears competition and my mum had ruined their daughter's chances of a dubious child modelling contract and a year's supply of amber-coloured dodgy-smelling soap.

After a number of alarming incidents, including a stand-up fight with her mum, we broke contact.

She's now a magistrate. I've no idea whether she's sympathetic to wayward girls or hypocritically judgmental.

I get my long hair tangles in buttons and necklaces and hair toggles all the time. Sometimes I cut it free. But I have plenty left.

I once got my hair tangled in a KitchenAid mixer. Wasn't pretty.

Are you off conducting tests OP?
