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 !)

"Maybe ask your daughter to make a tape recorded message about how she felt and send it to Head Office."

OMG, this thread is AMAZING!!!!!

Tape record a message?

Hahahahaha!!

Brilliant. Sheer genius.

I have also, on multiple occasions, got my pen stuck in my hair whilst trying to tuck hair behind my ear.

Naturally this only happens in serious and important work meetings

It did read as a stealth boast but I didn't want to be mean.

My DD has one Monsoon dress. Bought under sufferance as nothing else in the whole of Bluewater suitable. Look out for it on ebay soon . Unfortunately there is no hair attached to the tiny button.

I'm sorry chopin but on the Scale of Bad Experiences I don't think hair entanglement scores very high.

I love the new 'turn' Taped message. Flipping brilliant.

Chopin It is not hilarity over a child's bad experience. As this thread proves, most of us have been there.

It's hilarity over a bizarre and unwarranted reaction by the OP to a perfectly normal part of life with long hair.

It's great, innit?

Hurt and disappointment?!! With what? Having long hair? Wearing buttons on a dress? Bad experience? It looks like she had about 10 hairs cut off at the ends, it's hardly serious is it. Good god.

There is no hurt and disappointment, that is just bonkers and encourages the blame culture.

and I'm just imagining what the recorded message would sound like. Not good.

well there's your problem in the photo - its a square button innit? they're not aerodynamica-wotsit are they?

Bloody Monsoon.

LTB (leave the button)

DS caught his hair in one of those toy cars that you pull back then the wheels spin. We were sitting in a three hour M5 jam at the time. I had to cut it out with some nail scissors.

And, maybe I missed something, but the OP didn't say her daughter was particularly distressed did she?

chopinbabe your suggestion is turning the OP's DD into a victim. She isn't a victim. She is just someone who has had a misfortunate occurrence. Unfortunately in life she may become a genuine victim of something and if getting her hair caught in a zip causes such distress God help her should something genuinely bad happen.

Maybe she needs closure, on discovering that buying things at Monsoon won't protect her from everything life throws at her?

chopin never fails to give

Really? Yes, I imagine it would be easier to come along and agree with everyone else.

However, they are my views.

And interesting views they usually are

My daughters are always catching their hair on the trampoline enclosure net zipper as they go in and out.Zippers are just as bad.

Sometimes my hair gets stuck on my lip gloss

I got my hair stuck in a hair bobble and had to cut it.

YABU.

Does anyone else want the phone number of the OP's manicurist?

No ^

I once super-glued a big chunk of hair to an ornamental elephant I was repairing.
There was no warning that their glue could stick me to an elephant

I think Uhu should give me a voucher to Longleat, to visit real elephants as therapy to help me recover psychologically from that sticky situation.

Actual transcript of OP's DD's taped message

Dear Monsoon HQ

Please, please could you make something up about testing your dresses to make sure they are French plait proof because my Mum's gone a bit chicken oriental and won't stop going on about it.

Thanks everso much.

p.s. Please also ask her to stop telling people I have size 3.5 feet because I'm only 8 and I'm seriously worried I'll be forced to wear button free clown shoes by the time I'm 10 if they keep growing at this rate.
