I got mine come today. I was worried it would come when I was out but I was lucky.

I got one 1.99 dress - which is fantastic fit even with my massive breast not sure if I need leggings as is a little short I'm 5ft 6 probably going to depend on location and my mood.

Got a few other items also great. I want to go back and get more - but we away soon so four day delivery would probably miss us Sad.

I'm so pleased I came across this thread.

Mine came today, knee length my arse!! Nice dress, bit big but 10-12 would be way too tight. Great for over swimsuit on holiday/by pool/beach dress and at that price don't mind if I get it covered in sun cream!!

Byeckerslike · 30/03/2012 17:25

Oh god, i have enormous norkage too, ah well i hope they arrive at some point soon!

GoblersKnob · 30/03/2012 17:29

Don't worry I'm an F cup, (it sounds like I'm trying to dispute everything MissFoodie says Blush), is not my intention, I guess they just fit different people differently.

Byeckerslike · 30/03/2012 17:41

Thanks goblersknob... Love the name by the way!

Byeckerslike · 30/03/2012 17:42

And missfoodie obviously! I will report back if they ever arrive [impatient]

tummytickler · 30/03/2012 17:48

The waist was high on mine (big boobs, so the waist sat under my boobs) but actually it didn't look bad. It didn't give me that pregnant look that some dresses can when you have big boobs (I am 34F). I will wear leggings with mine though!

CointreauVersial · 30/03/2012 17:58

Well, the parcel arrived while I was out, but seeing as I'm such a home-shopping addict I'm on first-name terms with the courier Blush, so she signed for them and left them under the car for me.

I'm another one who found the £1.99 dress rather high-waisted, but it will be quite useful with leggings. However the other dress I ordered had a waist somewhere under my boobs, and with a full skirt it looked ridiculous. I'm gutted because it was lovely apart from that.

I also ordered a pretty tie-waist cardi which was also too high-waisted (there's a theme developing....), but that's just a case of moving the belt loops.

bigpants103 · 30/03/2012 20:03

I ordered the dress in 4 colours and loved them. Will need a vest under but looked nice with leggings, ballet pumps and a denim jacket.

Also gout the navy and navy and white striped jersey blazers and they are lovely too. Work out about £17 with all the codes.

Arrived today. Lordy, they're short! Patterned one looks pretty smart but the plain beige looks it's price IYKWIM.

MummyAnnabella · 31/03/2012 00:15

Am so surprised at people thinking these aren't short. Unless you are 18 or maybe early 20s at a push and no more than 5 foot 2 or 3 these must come up really short? There's a reason they are 1.99 no?! There is no way I would have worn mine other than at pool side in a hot country!

chaosisawayoflife · 31/03/2012 06:03

Is there any way of tracking your order? Mine were dispatched on Monday but still no sign. :(

trikken · 31/03/2012 11:09

there should be a link if u log into h&m website and look on your order history clicking on the details for the order. wearing my dress today. with leggings. dh loves it. I said do you like it and he said "it makes your boobs look massive!" two thumbs up then Grin

herbaceous · 31/03/2012 11:25

Crikey. Mine just arrived. I'm a 12-14, and ordered the 10-12, which was admittedly optimistic, but it's minute! And says S on the label, which implies that somewhere there's an M and an L, unlike on the website.

So, it will be going back, if I can be bothered to go all the way to the post office for such a small return!

Byeckerslike · 31/03/2012 11:27

Ive just logged in and estimated delivery is 9-13th april! :(

GoblersKnob · 31/03/2012 11:32

herbaceous H&M sizing is as follows XS 6-8, S 10-12, M 14-16, L 18-20, XL 22-24.

Maraki · 31/03/2012 11:39

Mine arrived today and they are going straight back. The waist is under my boobs, the 'dress' is actually a long top that is mid thigh and because of the high waist, I look like a pregnant whale. (I'm 5'11, 34F). Oh well, it was worth a try

jumpinghoops · 31/03/2012 12:01

So interesting- I really do have a long body / short legs but mine arrived and are great. I'm 5"7 and the length is at most 2 inches above the knee. I do have small EnvyEnvybreasts though-32c- and I guess this will make it hang longer, I need a vest underneath as I don't fill out cups really. I am always complaining about waists too high- but not in this case.

jumpinghoops · 31/03/2012 12:02

God knows where the Envy came from. My breasts are nothing at all to be envious about Grin

trikken · 31/03/2012 15:00

its just a shame there is no sunshine. Ive currently got my dressing gown over the top. :-(

feedthegoat · 31/03/2012 15:13

Mine arrived this morning and look great. Length is fine for me but I am just under 5' 3". I intend to wear them with leggings anyway. I'm really pleased, thanks OP.

lurkinginthebackground · 31/03/2012 20:50

I am torn between the red and beige one. Any advice?
I have dark hair but not dark skin if this helps!

GoblersKnob · 31/03/2012 20:54

The red is really nice, bright true red, the beige is very beige, not cream, but again very nice.

I am going to paint red poppies growing from the hem of the beige one (will either look wonderful or shit, good jub they are cheapGrin).
