turn up jeans only for skinny tall girls with long legs under 30, preferably not in winter.

The only thing I'm really hankering for at the moment is some 1940s style underwear. Anyone know where I can get some (apart from Agent Provocateur - much too pricey!)?

frenchgirl - cheap cheap cheap chain of clothes shops! similarly ethel austins and mark one and bon marche.

hoxtonchick · 13/10/2004 12:37

peacocks is a very cheap shop, frenchgirl, where you have to sort through piles of strange stuff before you chance upon some gems. good for kids' clothes too. similar to primark & ethel austin. hackney is full of these shops!

nailpolish · 13/10/2004 12:38

well, sm, get the catalogue and you can browse at your leisure
