lurking, get red. I have both (and the two patterned ones...Blush) and the red is definitely nicer. It is quite an orangey red though.

lurkinginthebackground · 31/03/2012 21:05

Thanks. Will go for the red one.

GoblersKnob · 31/03/2012 21:20

True the dark blue patterened one is gorgeous, if some of them are orangy red then I think that's an H&M fabric sourcing fail, mine is very red-red.

Is odd that they keep coming back into stock in all sizes and colours and that it is not available in store (I asked) am thinking it is a bit of a loss leader.

lurkinginthebackground · 31/03/2012 21:23

I've just tried to order the red one and it is saying out of stock when I get to the check out. Oh well might try again next week.

lurkinginthebackground · 31/03/2012 21:36

Right I have tried to order the light blue patterned one and it is now saying I have to place a minimum order of £6.
Somebody obviously doesn't want me to have this dress!!!!!

trikken · 31/03/2012 21:42

yes. its annoying. six quid is a random amount to have to buy. id understand if it was free delivery.

trikken · 31/03/2012 21:44

I love the light blue btw. I thought it was cloud like from the pics but its pretty flowers.

trikken · 01/04/2012 13:59

I have put a pic of me in my beige dress on my profile . Its not the best as I took it on my phone in the mirror and I look grumpy and the light behind my head is making my hair look funny but u get the gist.

asuwere · 01/04/2012 14:13

I've been debating these for a while, sadly red out of stock but have ordered 3 (2 patterns plus black) plus a pair of maternity leggings (£10 for the lot delivered!) so I should be set for summer - figure they should work with a bump and if they don't, I might just keep them for next summer :)

doradoo · 01/04/2012 14:35

Mine are going back - far too gapey under the arms - couldn't wear them without a cardie on.

Length was OK but general fit poor.

Gutted - was hoping they'd be the answer to my summer wardrobe!

pinkhebe · 01/04/2012 18:13

Having seen trikken's photo, they look better if you have boobs! (unlike me Grin)

pinkhebe · 01/04/2012 18:15

I think the size I bought (m) was too big for me (generous size 12, 32d boobs)

doradoo · 01/04/2012 18:26

I had an L and XL (sent in error) and they were both too big - am a 16 with 34HH boobs!

trikken · 01/04/2012 18:33

My dresses are all the same size on the label but the beige seem to fit better. I dont know if its just an illusion in that the beige colour suits me a bit more.

chaosisawayoflife · 02/04/2012 11:51

Two of mine arrived today, the two patterned ones, and I love them. Great fit and suitable for feeding in. My black and red ones were dispatched today too. Thanks op!

blibblibs · 02/04/2012 12:15

Mine arrived today too, both going back. Small was a better fit but too short, medium better lenght but too big.

Ah well not to worry, the rest of the stuff I ordered was good.

pinkhebe · 02/04/2012 15:02

I saw my first person wearing one today! If you were in Brighton, and pregnant, this morning, it looked great on you!

AngryFeet · 02/04/2012 16:05

Wearing my red one right now with leggings and a cardie. The medium fits me perfectly (14-16) and I am size 16 with 38c boobs. Wouldn't wear it on it's own though - too short and I have fat arms Grin

granule · 02/04/2012 21:36

I wore mine today, and at 39 weeks pg it was insanely short but normal service should be resumed in a couple of weeks Grin

Happily, I reckon they'll be great for BFing.

GoblersKnob · 05/04/2012 10:38

Got my sized down ones today, so glad I swapped, the difference is from, umm, okay for 'non' days to one of the nicest things I own, they look fab, amazed as I am not usually a S in H&M.

The downside is they are a tad short now, but will still look great with skinnies or cropped leggings.

trikken · 05/04/2012 11:15

I was surprised by the sizing as everyone had said h&m were small but mine fitted fine.

pocketandsweet · 05/04/2012 13:29

Both of mine have gone back... They were so unflattering. I looked like a 490 year old eastern European peasant ( no offence meant to any aged Slavic peasantry who might be reading). I actually had to have a sit down and a cup of tea to restore my destroyed self esteem.

Byeckerslike · 05/04/2012 16:35

Pocketandsweet, mine are equally hideous! I have recently lost a lot of weight and am very very impressed with my new figure, these dresses make me feel frickin enormous! :(

GoblersKnob · 05/04/2012 17:21

Pocketandsweet and Byeckerslike are you sure they are not just too big? I looked a bit 'meh' in the 14-16, but the 10-12 is brilliant, am a 12-14.

Tbf compared to the H & M model shots I can see it should fit more like the 14-16, but the smaller is so much more flattering.

Ryoko · 05/04/2012 17:22

How much is the postage from H&M and what size is right for someone who is a size 12?.

I might get some stuff for cheap, but I don't know if its 10-12 or 14-16 for me? all depends on the postage costs anyway
