Oooh thanks for this thread - I've updated my wardrobe with 4 new tops for 40 quid! The Huntress jumper and another grey one that I can't remember the name of, a long sleeve and short sleeve top with just the right amount of scoopage of neck. Ordered on Thurs, arrived today - keeping the lot. I'm usually a 12, occasionally 14 in tops so I ordered everything in large and it's fine - they grey jumper is a bit bigger than I would have gone for but it's for over skinnies so is fine. I'm well chuffed - will look out for GP sales again!!

my finch dress is too big

ive sent for a medium which i suspect will be too small.....

for whoever was asking about norkage - you have toooooo much room if your a C cup....its massive on the top on me, the drape shows a little too much Blush and its hanging off the back and under the arms on me - i look like i have a hunchback.

oh well......

daenerysstormborn · 10/01/2012 12:57

oh no vicar Sad, that's a shame.

my parcel is on the drivers van according to the tracking website

snowmaiden · 10/01/2012 13:00

Has anyone who ordered on saturday got their parcel or a dispatch note yet Grin

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2012 13:02

ive sent for it again in the M but i just hope they havent sold out by the time my order is despatched.

i sometimes am a 12 in dresses and skirts, so fingers crossed that the M will get to me and then fit!

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2012 13:03

(and im not even thinking about the postage i have spent on this sale!!)

how do returns work? does anyone know? do you have to send them back special delivery or just normal post? ive looked on the site and cannot find anything about returns....

Sparklegeek · 10/01/2012 13:07

I have sent one thing back normal delivery (that I had to pay for) & the other item came with a 2nd class returns label so will be using that. No dress yet, am worried now that mine won't fit if they come up big!

snowmaiden · 10/01/2012 13:10

OOO!! I am quite happy that things sound as if they are coming up big, I am a 12, but verging on a 14 and ordered everything in a M, was worried they might be a bit small, but was hoping the fit would be similar to FC which I have found to come up quite big in the past.

NanBullen · 10/01/2012 13:26

I JUST GOT MY FINCHLEY DRESS!!!!

It's perfect Grin

I got the medium (am normally a 12) and i thought it looked too big but fits perfectly. I don't have massive boobs and all of the material on top makes me look bigger than normal. in fact the whole dress makes me look rather voluptuous!

I LOVE IT! Thanks VicarInaTutu. Sorry yours doesn't fit, hope you get the smaller size. I'm still waiting for my smaller noella dress but nothing yet Hmm

FakeFurCoatAndThermalKnickers · 10/01/2012 13:27

Smile Thank you for starting this thread, Nevergarglebrandybutter.

I ordered the Noella crepe dress in winter Iris, in a large, which is lovely on, perfect for work, very flattering; wish I'd ordered it in black too!

Also ordered 2 huntress jumpers in black and siamese (grey), also lovely, very fine knit but sit very well; lovely with jeans and boots.
Ordered the Melbourne knits in Roebuck; very fine knit and quite sheer, so not very forgiving of lumps and bumps,but looks as thought it would be nice with a longish cardigan over it, and my new dark brown boots.

Would have loved the finchley park dress, will have to keep watching in case it comes back in a L!

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2012 13:28

the dress i ordered the other day in jersey material i got in a L and its fine - but this one has come up big, yes, but more so on the top than the bottom.

TracyK · 10/01/2012 13:28

Keep an eye on ebay Fakefur - I'm sure I saw Finchley dress on there the other day. As well as loads of other GP stuff (mainly summer stuff tho)

NanBullen · 10/01/2012 13:29

although there is a pending transaction on my credit card for the price of 2 finitely dresses, they'd better not take both Hmm

FakeFurCoatAndThermalKnickers · 10/01/2012 13:31

Thanks TracyK. It's just really nice to ffinally find dresses that go over my boobs, without either looking matronly or too cleavage-y for daytime. I could end up spending a fortune Smile

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 10/01/2012 14:00

FakeFur, I don't mean to be a matchmaker but...

Vicar has a finchley dress in large she doesn't want (I think)

Just sayin

Sparklegeek · 10/01/2012 14:18

FakeFur, have just been on GP site & they have both colours in the FP dress in a L! You have to look through the catalogue, not on the sale pages - there's a blip in their system & that's how we all got our FP dresses :)

daenerysstormborn · 10/01/2012 14:18

my lady grey dress has arrived. not tried it on yet though but i also ordered leggings in the same colour, siamese, thinking they would go together. they don't. both are siamese but both are completely different shade of grey.

FakeFurCoatAndThermalKnickers · 10/01/2012 14:43

Reneand George...thank you!...but Sparklegeek, I've just done as you suggested and I've ordered the dress in both colours Grin Thank you!

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2012 15:31

a few pages back i linked the finch dress....its not in the sale but is in the catalogue, i found it by accident really, then started a stampede! Grin

yes i have a L that is going back. much as i love it i look ridiculous in it as its wayyyy too big.

ive got confirmation of the M order, so will see if it arrives. fingers crossed. i think i have another parcel pending with another large finch dress in black, a coat and a jumper, looks like a fair bit of mine will be going back.

TuttoRhino · 10/01/2012 15:41

That's really annoying about the Finch dress coming up large. I got a Jersey dress in M and it fits well. I thought I'd go for the Finch in L just to be safe, as it wouldn't have as much give. I've now re-ordered it in a M along with another cardigan just in case the L doesn't fit.

I really think I've lost the plot with this sale.

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2012 15:44

you and me both TuttoRhino....by the time ive got 4 lots of parcels and returned 3 i will have spent a blardly fortune in postage....

TracyK · 10/01/2012 15:48

I don't want to start a stampede - but theres loads more stuff if you go through the browse catalogue online and click through that way. Stuff I hadn't even seen before!
I haven't followed it all the way through to the order and pay stage - but might be worth a try??

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 10/01/2012 17:35

Mine has arrived and it's lovely Smile

Thanks Vicar

ThePhantomPlopper · 10/01/2012 17:35

I ordered the après ski treggings.

Too big and wrinkly on the knees but think I'll see if I can shrink them in the tumble dryer rather than pay return postage.

cornastasiaski · 10/01/2012 17:36

I keep forgetting to send my stuff back
