Just got my delivery.

This is awful www.greatplains.co.uk/product/woman+sale/J1EB6/Noella+Crepe+Dress.htm.

I bought the large as i'm a size 14 but it's too big in areas and not a very flattering length on me. Just makes me look like a sausage. Not the look I was after to be honest. The colour doesn't really look like it does on my computer either.

This however is lovely. www.greatplains.co.uk/product/woman+sale/J1NO6/Noella+Crepe+Dress.htm

Looks pretty much how it does on the model on me (although three sizes bigger obviously). Very very flattering for the more ample figure and a great staple for the office.

The material of both dresses though is a bit iffy. I would not have paid full price for either of them.

Arrived today but I was out so need to re arrange.

ChablisLover · 06/01/2012 19:48

Got part of my order today and placed another one the other day but they cancelled part of it as the st Ives jeans went out of stock. They were reduced to £13 bargain

Am keeping an eye out in case unwanteds are returned and I nab a pair

Haven't tried on yet but had hard time convincing dh that it all was soo cheap!

RachelHRD · 06/01/2012 20:26

Tried to deliver my bargainous Betty handles bag today whilst I was in the shower grrrrrrr - I want it now not next flippin week!!

Anyone else get one?

OhBuggerandArse · 06/01/2012 20:45

This arrived today and is excellent - but it seems to have gone up in price again, mine was £15.

These trousers were far too long and tight and will have to go back, but would never have ordered if I'd realised that Great Plains are French Connection in disguise - their trousers have never fitted me.

This is gorgeous, fits beautifully, and looks much better quality than it's nylony makeup would suggest.

Still waiting for the white princess coat and some basics tshirts. But two out of three so far aint bad at those prices.

southeastastra · 06/01/2012 20:47

i have the harriet dress (from other thread recommendation!) funny how it's gone up again!

it just about fits - they need to make sizing bigger - i'm not huge just a 14

TracyK · 06/01/2012 20:49

Did you get the L in the Harriet then Southeast? I was toying with that dress but I'm a good 16 and if its not generous - prob waste of time ordering the XL.

TracyK · 06/01/2012 20:52

Oh no it was the ruched harriet I was thinking of ordering - its still £14. But only XS's left.

louby78 · 06/01/2012 20:52

Ohbugger - how is the sizing on that dolly skirt? Generous or not? I've ordered quite a bit. Normally a 10/12 but losing the last dregs of my baby weight and more than likely a 12 unless it's huge.

I'm watching the harriet dress intently as I love it. Is it worth the 39?

southeastastra · 06/01/2012 20:53

i probably should have gone for an XL. it could have been bigger

noddyholder · 06/01/2012 20:56

Sadly I have decided to not buy when I am at the slimmest I have been in a while although it does make most of the stuff I already have feel like new clothes as they fit and look better! Still haven't received my GP jacket though which i ordered before my pledge of abstinence

cyb · 06/01/2012 21:00

And tell me how you got thin - I feel so thick waisted and out of shape ATM

noddyholder · 06/01/2012 21:00

I would like that black dress cyb but no!

ThatVikRinA22 · 06/01/2012 21:00

im not getting the prices thing at all....i got my dress yesterday and love it - went back to see about the other colour and its gone up by a tenner!

got a tshirt top which is ok and i cant be arsed to send back....dress is lovely though,

How often do they have a sale?

noddyholder · 06/01/2012 21:02

I think it is all the extra exercise I have had recently. I am in a temp house and it is right in the middle of a high st! I walk everywhere and have stopped eating crap! I think the few lbs lost with all the walking has motivated me.

OhBuggerandArse · 06/01/2012 21:03

louby78 the dolly skirt is generous enough I would say - I am a fairly straightforward 10 but have no waist at all, and the 10 fits absolutely fine, so I reckon would probably be worth a shot unless you are similarly afflicted!

Maraki · 07/01/2012 08:36

Right. I shouldn't have opened this thread! I am skinned, but I was playing on my phone while suppervising a playdate (my lounge got trashed by two 4 year olds while I was shopping on my phone!) and I bought the Pimlico jacket:
www.greatplains.co.uk/product/Woman+Sale/J5AJ6/Pimlico+Neck+Tie+Jacket.htm
Damn it, the site had really easy checkout via pay pla, if I had to search for my bag and the credit card in it, I may have exercised some restraint!
Let's hope that it doesn't make me look huge (I've got big boobs).

noddyholder · 07/01/2012 09:14

I bought it too but not here I also have boobs!
