My first review was rejected, cos they didn't like my pen name (ReginaBoyle).

Will wait and see if my next one gets posted.

As a result of this thread I had bloody Damart ads popping up while I was on YouTube today

That's a bit harsh if your name is actually Regina Boyle

Someone must be called that.

Loads of RL Regina Boyles. I think you should complain to M&S dearpru.

They're not designed to flatter a body that's still in decent shape.... they're designed to drawn the confused eye away from middle-aged spread.

The butterflies add a delightful touch of whimsy and the wide contrasting band at the bottom doesn't cut you in two much at all. If you look closely, you'll see there are random buttons stitched on the front too.

You could write copy for them MA!

I bet you miss M&S doncha ? go on, you do !

My friend's mil asked me years ago to bring her out 'a skirt from m&s'. I knew without ever having met her what she wanted, and she loved it....

I'm not a skirty person at all. I have only one denim number that I bought so long ago I can't remember where it came from... and their slacks don't fit me (yet).

Good grief, how did I miss that monstrosity? And whimsy is a very good word - suggest it to their design department.

Mathanxiety, I wasn't implying that you might be tempted by a stretchy-waisted mid-calf length multi-coloured crimpolene skirt!

regina boyle I was just reading a review of a dress on littlewoods and obviously the reviewer's first review didn't make it, but her second did, and it saved me from wasting fifty euro!
