snowmaiden what size were you l

musttidyupmusttidyup · 11/01/2012 11:18

Shite sorry
What size were you looking for in the beaded top? I'm returning mine.

Sparklegeek · 11/01/2012 11:23

Chablis I have the St Ives jeans. V nice! And the other ones, bootcut. Both fit me like a glove. I am tall though, about 5 ft 9, so I was v lucky they did fit lengthwise. You can tell they are more expensive jeans - the denim feels so much better quality than my Asda or Tesco pairs!

snowmaiden · 11/01/2012 13:22

I have added some pictures of meto my profile in my things which arrived this morning. Tell me what you think! I like the black dress with sparkles the most- a surprise success and very flattering (I think)!

snowmaiden · 11/01/2012 13:35

By the way, I have paired the Finchley dress with dark brown tights and Boden suede shoes!

Has anyone tried the taylor treggings?

Was looking for beaded top in a M musttidyup.

Sparklegeek · 11/01/2012 13:42

Snowmaiden, what size are you & what size Finchley dress is that? I would say you look a similar sort of size to me & my M dress is far more material-ey! Hence me thinking it looks too big :( I too ordered the black sparkly dress but I wasn't sure, it didn't too much for me TBH, especially as it was £43-ish then, before the 2nd round of reductions. So I got a refund.

snowmaiden · 11/01/2012 13:48

I am a size 12, 5'7" and weigh about 10.5 stone, 34d boobs! The finchley is a tiny bit gappy at the back of the neck, but I like it and it gives me a good waist as I am quite straight up and down really, so for the price think it is ok and am keeping.

snowmaiden · 11/01/2012 13:48

Oh, everything is a M.

Sparklegeek · 11/01/2012 13:51

Yes you're very similar to me then, I'm 5 ft 9, size 12, weigh 10 stone, 34 DD. SO WHY IS MY SODDING DRESS SO MUCH BIGGER????

MummyAnnabella · 11/01/2012 14:28

Should not have opened this thread as have ordered 3 dresses in my no spend new year! Ordered noella, full pleated dress(why has no one else ordered this is it horrid?) and now today a birdie dress. Liked birdie one ages ago an couldn't believe they had roebuck in m! For 26 quid!! Am. Little worried though as am similar size to snow maiden and sparkle geek (5'7 almost 11 stone size 12 just about and 34c) will it be too big?!

JonesTheSteam · 11/01/2012 14:58

My stuff arrived yesterday. All lovely and really pleased. Have ordered three more tops! Shock

MummyAnnabella Would have loved to order the full pleated dress as it looks lovely but is sold out...

sunshineoutdoors · 11/01/2012 15:23

Has anyone who used the prepaid returns label to return their sale stuff had their money back yet? I have got two packets to return, but am scared to use the labels until I know they work.

louby78 · 11/01/2012 15:40

I've ordered the full pleated dress MummyAnnabella. Not got yet but gone to my mums so will collect tomorrow. Ordered 3 times. Two parcels arrived and just waiting for the finchley dress!!

daenerysstormborn · 11/01/2012 17:12

wore my lady grey dress today, dh likes it. must not look again at the sale, must not look again, must not look again Grin

chibi · 11/01/2012 18:01

does anyone have a black camille dress in medium they want to swap for a large? i am usually a 12-14 so i went for large and it's bit gappy

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease

ThatVikRinA22 · 11/01/2012 18:41

sparkle - your dress and mine sound like the same batch - mine is HUGE on top.
i got the L finch dress in black today and its a totally different size the to L roebuck one!
no idea whats gone on with them - but again its massive on the top, just a lot tighter round the middle than the same size in Roebuck. weird. i thought that this stuff was good enough quality to not have such widely varying size differences Confused but they are both L and both too big on top.

anyway, the whole of my other order came, the princess coat is going back, very odd fit as others have mentioned. very high waist, tight and then flared Confused again....the jumper was awful - see through and itchy.

my first order i was pleased with - i should have stopped then shouldnt i! thatll teach me....

still got the M dress to come but i suspect that it will be too tight around the waist and too baggy on top.

trixymalixy · 11/01/2012 18:46

How did I miss the Camille dress? Its lovely! Ooh, can I justify another order......

ThatVikRinA22 · 11/01/2012 19:16

so i now have a huge box to return....have stuffed all the other stuff in the same box but packaged separately so i only have to return once.

says on the back you cannot use the labels to return sale goods....what happens if you do?

going to have a whopping postage fee otherwise.....

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 11/01/2012 20:01

louby I am still here praying the full pleated dress won't fit just in case Grin

MummyAnnabella what size did you get?
I want a medium, but there is only a large whenever I check.

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 11/01/2012 20:01

Or a small

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 11/01/2012 20:02

I mean, or I would like a small, just in case anyone with a small or medium they wish to let me have has dropped into the thread miraculously

PattiMayor · 11/01/2012 20:10

I wore my Noelle crepe dress and the faux-fur collar coat to an interview today. If they have got me the gig, that'll be £51 well spent :)

Because of this thread (I was going to curse NGDB but actually it's vicar's fault :o), I ordered the finchley dress and the million kisses one yesterday. I have huge tits so am hoping the large will be ok

noddyholder · 11/01/2012 20:12

I got the coat but sent it back today so have theoretically stuck to my no clothes this year! Am Now wondering as since I bought it before my pledge of abstinence I have a sort of credit and could get the birdy dress now Hmm

louby78 · 11/01/2012 20:27

Hi Rene (is the bold working....? )don't worry - not forgotten you. Parcel was delivered today but it went to my mums in case I was out (my neighbours are horrid and didn't want to have to go round to collect a parcel!) so i will have it tomorrow. I'll try it on and report back tomorrow night.

Still awaiting the finchley delivery. Off to check out this camille dress.......

trixymalixy · 11/01/2012 20:36

Patti, I'm a size 14 and a 32H and the Finchley dress in large fits me fine.
