Yes i think so vicar. It's very creased so I'll iron it and try on again.

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 18:29

Am at the higher end of 14 at the moment due to Xmas indulgence Blush am shorter than you I think? 5"2!

It fits well just quite snug under bust, but I am 36 DD?

Agree the neckline is a bit bizarre but it looks quite cool if you pull one side off shoulder? Kinda asymmetrical?

ThatVikRinA22 · 13/01/2012 18:31

i stuck a pic on my profile - mine sits to the side on the medium but didnt on the large....just sort of hung in a huge arc that showed my tits bra.....

trixymalixy · 13/01/2012 18:33

Me too Shock I put on 8 lbs over Xmas Shock Shock Shock. Really really need to get that shred DVD started.

MummyAnnabella · 13/01/2012 18:44

louby I got long sleeve noella and it's a keeper. As someone said up thread it's not delux material but is good colour and style. Is not fitted but not meant to be. With control pants or tights will be fine. For £14 is good. A prim ark dress would cost that and this is better.

MummyAnnabella · 13/01/2012 18:48

vicar love birdie dress on you. Coat okay. Not sure how much it is but if you dint love it I would return. Now I'm slinking off as not following owne advice and dithering over full pleated dress.

Who is keeping full pleated dresses and where are you going to wear them? I think it's a day smart dress as opposed to night out one and can only see me wearing to work (and am a sahm!) funerals or christenings/ formal lunches.

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 19:26

Does anyone have farrell jersey twist dress?

Sparklegeek · 13/01/2012 19:34

I have it coming Geordieminx!

trixymalixy · 13/01/2012 19:40

The Farrell dress in both co,ours arrived in my package today, I'm pretty disappointed with it, there's a really funny bit where the waistband meets the skirt. I'm gutted as it looks great on the model and at only £16 is a total bargain. I'm going to try them on again later, but I suspect they will be going back.

PattiMayor · 13/01/2012 20:00

Oh bollocks. In a moment of utter stupidity (feeling huge because period was due), I ordered the dresses in XL. They are going to be huge and then there won't be any Ls left for me

Oh well they will be here tomorrow/monday. If they are cotherwise, I can always fire up the sewing machine :(

I am tempted to absolutely stuff myself to the gills all weekend :o

JoantheFennel · 13/01/2012 20:03

Looks like bastard yodel have lost my parcel. Fuckers.

PattiMayor · 13/01/2012 20:05

If they are c... otherwise

What was that word supposed to be? C?? Covetable? Capacious? Cute?

Lord knows Blush

ThatVikRinA22 · 13/01/2012 20:05

oh no! it might turn up - or have you checked your garage etc - i thought yodel had lost mine and it turned out they put it in the garage but didnt post a card!

patti - what did you order?

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 20:08

Is it really no nice trixy?

Looks they are starting to put returns back on the website, more stock and a few sizes?

JoantheFennel · 13/01/2012 20:09

They said they took it back to the depot and they now can't find it. All the sizes I ordered have sold out.

NanBullen · 13/01/2012 20:20

Are gp affiliated with French connection or Toast in any way? I got an email today from french connection returns to say they didn't have the size i requested as a replacement and they would I like a refund and then it was signed off as Toast Confused

Then i've just got an email which says Gp returns which says i'll either get the exchange i requested or a refund within 7 days.

weird

NanBullen · 13/01/2012 20:22

oh just seen that it says French connection in the small print of the gp email so i'm not getting my noelle dress am I? Sad

trixymalixy · 13/01/2012 20:23

I'm going to try ironing them Geordie and see if that helps as the seam sat really funny at the waistband. I'm also going to try with some control underwear to smooth out the lumps. They were nice apart from that, the neckline is nice. Just would like to have looked a bit more like the model, but don't we all Grin!!

They were only £16 each so I'm determined to make them look better!

Think they were completely out of stock though last time I looked?

NanBullen · 13/01/2012 20:24

ok i can get a refund or request something else instead. Anyone have any recommendations?

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 20:30

Aye they are still out of stock. Thought it looked fab on the model.

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 13/01/2012 21:12

MummyAnnabella please let me know if you want to send back the full pleated dress. If it is a medium I will buy it from you.

It's me who wants the full pleated dress

Off to check out ebay thanks to whoever spotted it! But with the fit problems mentioned upthread I think I'd rather have a 12.

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 21:29

I bought this last week tis lovely on.

trixymalixy · 13/01/2012 21:36

Geordie, if we ever meet for that coffee, we will have to consult each other in what we are wearing as I have that dress too! It is lovely on.

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 21:37

That's so funny. I also bought a black lace long sleeve top and a grey silk t shirt dress. From EK. Grin

ChablisLover · 13/01/2012 21:39

Ah bugger

Off all the great plains haul am only sending back the pocket details trousers they gap awfully at the back and the après ski treggimgs too baggy at the knees.

Am deciding on the hero drill blouse and the clad skirt but think they are ultimately keepers.

Having a fat day as even the finchley dress which looked fab on wednesday even looked not quite right tonight.

Another trying on session on Sunday before packaging up and returning monday
