to have bought a jumper/dress just to shut dh up

[biggirlsdontcry]

went clothes shopping with dh yesterday while the dc's where in school , dh spotted one of those jumper dresses that he thought would look nice on me , to me it looks like a Bridget Jones Xmas jumper type dress ,
i will describe if i can = it is a rusty red colour , sleeveless & has a teddy about a foot in size on the front & the same on the back , crochet on the top . we left the shop and for three hours solid dh kept nagging me to buy the dress as he though it would look nice on me , in the end tired & feet killing me i gave in & bought the bloody thing just to shut him up but i doubt if i will ever wear it . it was only £20 pound so not expensive .

Today, in TopShop, I saw jumper dresses with bunnies and the same with penguins.

What is going on?

Wrap it up and give it to him for Xmas.

Maybe the dress was originally designed for a very tall 5 year old?

skydancer1 you might actually have a point there , dh has been talking alot in the last few months about weather i would like to have another baby , we already have a ds & a dd & after dd was born we agreed that our family was complete , i have to have c-sections as cant have a normal birth . but i think he is getting broody . still no excuse for that dress

Aw! well maybe mystery of aesthetic disaster dress solved then! Wish you luck with deciding about DC 3 or not. Meanwhile, suggest you get DP a baby-sized teddy for xmas .

I could kind of see it working in an ironic sort of way on a very slim, young girl, perhaps in a Japanese/harajuku/Gwen Stefani sort of way.

I don't see it working well on the average white, British mum.

Can see why Miss Sixty were selling it off cheap! They're usually nice!

Oh that is bad!

my dd would look good in it!

she is 3 btw.

you know you can never ever wear this out as mners everywhere will spot you. it will be on a par with finding a shopping list ith nice ham written on it. listen out for people muttering "fanjo" or "frootshoot" under their breath at you...

Actually, it is not quite as awful as I had imagined - but it is still bad!

it's not as bad as i thought it would be!
the patter nof the dress is really quite pretty.
could you perhaps put a jumpr round your waist or some kind of hip scarf to cover up the bear?

OK THE DRESS HAS BEEN RETURNED
bought something gorgeous instead .

Brilliant thread...i think your Dh sounds brill...never a dull moment i would guess! Don't take him into primark, my neice says they have fleecy all-in-one babygro type jammies with monkeys on them!!

thanks penny
oh & thanks for the tip off re primark
ah bless him i made him wait outside the shop with all the bags of shopping whilst i changed the dress , he is barred from clothes shopping with me now
he thinks the top i got instead of the dress is boring so that can only be a good thing .

Hahahahaha I finally got to see the dress thanks biggirls for a great laugh. I had a vision of the teddy stretching and getting bigger and bigger during pregnancy.
