You get one confirmation email when you order & then, if my experience is anything to go by, a dispatch email AFTER you've received your parcel :o

ThatVikRinA22 · 08/01/2012 11:08

DONT tell me FC has a sale on!!! go away! Grin

i should hide this thread now Grin

i got the email but i dont think it means much until you get the stuff in hand....whenever i have wondered about where my parcel is i have got more info by ringing them.

i got the despatch email well after the parcel had left their warehouse!

trixymalixy · 08/01/2012 11:58

Ooh I got all excited there, but the FC sale is nowhere near as good as the GP sale. None of the things I like are reduced by 75%. Probably just as well!!

tanfastic · 08/01/2012 12:03

Sunshine, I hope so because I sent mine back yesterday with one on .

ThePhantomPlopper · 08/01/2012 12:05

How long is the birdy dress? I look crap in knee length and longer.

Also I have tiny tits, is it a dress for the tiny of tit?

Tell me it'll look crap because I need to stop spending money!

Sparklegeek · 08/01/2012 13:08

Agree Trixy re FC sale, not a patch on Great Plains. Thank God for may bank balance.

Had to smile at Phantom's worries about tits in a bird dress, sorry :o

Sparklegeek · 08/01/2012 13:08

MY bank balance. Though it might well take me til May to pay it off!

southeastastra · 08/01/2012 13:09

i got the dispatch email a week after getting the dress Grin

louby78 · 08/01/2012 15:07

Gosh this thread is dangerous!! And talk of the finchley park dress infectious. I spied it in the catalogue months ago and loved it two. Had already placed two orders but learning that was in the sale has just tipped me over into the third!! Like nan ordered a small and a medium. Also ordered a small in the bird skirt in case my medium is too big. I have spent a small fortune but if some of the stuff fits I won't have to shop for ages!!

OhBuggerandArse · 08/01/2012 19:41

Hm. Princess coat going back - it may just be that it's the wrong shape for me, but the fit was quite odd - the 'waist' very high and tight round the ribs, and then the flare out beneath a bit exaggerated. Not flattering on me anyway!

Tshirts fine, but that's not very exciting. But that will be the end of my sale splurging for the year, so I will feel mildly pleased with them at any rate.

ThatVikRinA22 · 08/01/2012 22:07

oh bugger ohbugger Grin that made me laugh i typed oh bugger then saw your name! Grin

i ordered that coat. do you mind if i ask you what size you are and what you ordered?

i was looking forward to getting that coat.....

smarmyarmy · 09/01/2012 10:30

I ordered the Princess coat in black and am sending it back. Strange fit. i ordered a L and i am a size 14. It was quite tight across the hips and not a very flattering cut (or maybe i just ate too many pies at Christmas!).

I also ordered the suede bag in tawny owl which was lovely!

louby78 · 09/01/2012 10:38

Those shirt dresses sound fab - would love one but don't want to get one at £39 when they were £15 or whatever they were a few weeks ago. Will wait and see if they come down.

Anyone else had anything delivered?

OhCobblers · 09/01/2012 11:06

Does anyone have the cream Farne Open Coat? Looks lovely online but sold out - am keeping my beady eye on one hopefully being returned!

ThatVikRinA22 · 09/01/2012 11:17

oh bollocks....

i really hate queueing to send stuff back. flip.

ThatVikRinA22 · 09/01/2012 11:26

anyone else got the princess coat and kept it? im wondering whether to phone and cancel it...

ThatVikRinA22 · 09/01/2012 11:27

ohcobblers - i doubt that returns get resold on the web....i might be wrong but i just always thought stuff like that got sold through outlets and such like

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 09/01/2012 11:28

Wish I'd seen this sooner- I am in love with this but they don't have it in my size

Has stuff been coming back in stock much?

Sparklegeek · 09/01/2012 11:46

Rene, yes, keep looking all the time, I have picked up a few bits I wanted that weren't originally available in my size. Presumably as unwanted items are returned they go back on sale?

TracyK · 09/01/2012 11:54

I've still not received anything - goods or despatch email - boo.

louby78 · 09/01/2012 12:01

Yes they do come back in - I've picked up a few things like that. I've ordered that dress RENE (can't do bold) in a 12. Not sure if it will fit - what size you after? If it's a 12 I'll post on here if it doesn't fit and am sending back.

ReneandGeorgetteMagritte · 09/01/2012 12:07

louby yes please!! I can probably do 10 or 12 in that style, I am inbetween, but very low on boobage.

louby78 · 09/01/2012 13:05

Ok, well if it doesn't fit/suit I'll let you know - you can always paypal me and I can send it to you direct. I'll let you know. Expected to get it Wed or Thursday apparently.

Have got so much from these sales - bargainous!! Do they normally do this? Will be obsessed come their summer sale!!

musttidyupmusttidyup · 09/01/2012 13:07

Came today. Grey cable cardigan nice and soft feel but maybe a bit too bulky for me. Not sure if will keep. Black beaded vest top is very pretty but too small Sad just too short and tight and looks crap.

Sparklegeek · 09/01/2012 19:08

Ooooooooooh, just got a dispatch email from GP for my Finchley Park dress woohoo!
