Anyone ordered this from The White Co?

Quite fancy it in navy, with tan flat sandals, big bracelet and a denim jacket.

make sure you post about the gap dress

withagoat · 12/03/2011 15:55

I WILL DO IT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU cornoid

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/03/2011 15:56

I did try on and I like an exposed zip - bust fine and I'm a 32dd.

And it has pockets and I love a dress with pockets - above knee on me and I'm 5ft so pretty short on less munchkin-like people.

UKGAP30 gets 30% off she adds helpfully Wink

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/03/2011 16:23

Do you not find asymetric tops make boobs look weird? I've got boden one from last season and its just odd - must ebay it [my new addiction]

cornsilk678 · 12/03/2011 16:25

boden goes for £££ on ebay. Folk are mad for it. Why they don't just order from Boden in the first place I don't know.

vintageteacups · 12/03/2011 16:31

There are those women that have an entire wardrobe dedicated to the school and those that don't..............I don't Grin.

vintageteacups · 12/03/2011 16:32

withagoat · 12/03/2011 16:42

withagoat · 12/03/2011 16:42

vintage read the thread

"to all newcomers a school run dress means an ORDNIARY DRESS FOR EVERYDAY NOT WORK NOT A WEDDING LIKE A SUNDRESS

"

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/03/2011 16:47

Its wool jersey.

Oh yes for some of the school run is the be all and end all Wink

withagoat · 12/03/2011 16:47

i read that as " the bell end"
it might be that too

I got the Gap dress yesterday. Think I like it... It's quite clingy and the material at the front is very drapey - more than it looked in photo (to me). It's on the knee/slightly below but flatteringly so. It's good if you're self-conscious about a less than flat stomach. I tried it on at home with coloured tights on and it looked ok so not just a summer dress
