So my dresses arrived today - although not tried them on. However it came with a catalogue - and I have somehow just ordered a lot of new clothes for me and the dds for our holiday next month. Thing is lovely stuff but all a size 10 which I can be if I knuckle down and keep up the diet (5lb to loose in 4 weeks) but should I have ordered the 12?? and a bit different for me so now not sure!!
And what can I do to keep really focused to make it fit?
Or just cancel it all :(
ah bloody bargain dress! (that prob won't fit! )

Take it back - dresses are fab! And probably they saved me a fortune trailing the shops for clothes and other things.

I'd have gone 12, as you'll probably gain while you're on holiday?? You dont want to have no clothes fitting by day 5 ;)

supernannyisace · 17/04/2012 14:07

the dresses are fab. Agree.

However I have four Grin - in two different sizes, yet the both sizes fit fine ??

I resisted ordering more stuff... for now...

Mine arrived yesterday. I am glad I only paid £1.99 each, they are not worth more than that.

lisad123 · 17/04/2012 14:25

I could only get one!! Angry
I like mine with a pair of skinny jeans and a cardi and belt but in a little "bo ho" according to my big sister Grin

boringnamechange · 17/04/2012 14:39

Ah mcpopcorn I didn't think of that Sad good point though will see if they are ok (as in just fit or a little room) and maybe change them.

I got a black , blue and the cream one still to arrive. I think a pair of leggings and ballet pumps would be nice too but also great for a wee walk on the beach or lazing by the pool Grin

Agree too though don't think I would have paid the £12.99 each but a great little bargain!

Seriously need to block the h&m website tho Blush

I thought the sizes where 10-12 and 12-14? or was there an 8-10?

I'm still waiting for mine, I'm normally a 12 so they'd better fit Angry

BountyCack · 17/04/2012 20:33

Can someone link to this dress please? I don't seem to be able to sort by price on the website..

Although I can sort by "concept" which is always a huge help Hmm

boringnamechange · 17/04/2012 21:49

Can't link on my phone but it's in the sale section search ladies then dressed and it's from £12.99 to £1.99 might show a red
Or black or cream version.

thread with link to dress

Well mine finally turned up, thank you mr postman for just dumping it on the doorstep (yet again) on a Saturday instead of carding me and taking it back to the depot when you found I was out.

Anyway I got a red and black £1.99 dress and a wrap around style red top and I like the lot all very good.

And now I will write yet another email to royal mail to complain about him dumping the stuff outside.

prettypurpledaisy · 22/04/2012 15:10

Mine still haven't arrived :( ordered on 30th March.

Ryoko · 22/04/2012 16:29

Mine didn't get posted until the 13th because part of it wasn't in stock, when it's posted you get an email, if you look on your account when it's been posted you will have a tracking code if it's a courier and it will be just blank with no info if they have sent it Royal Mail.

I've heard it takes on average 8+ working days via normal post.

Pinner35 · 22/04/2012 16:31

I got 4 of the dresses and sent all of them back.

trikken · 22/04/2012 16:37

Love mine.especially the cream ones.

choceyes · 22/04/2012 18:12

I ordered these a coulple of weeks ago and I got a letter saying they have some questions regarding some of the information I have provided, and they want me to call them Hmm. I do hope they still have the dresses in stock.

SleepyFergus · 22/04/2012 18:27

I don't know how you can bear to order with them - H&M mail order drives me potty. Had a mammoth argument with them and ended up cancelling an order with them in a hissy fit

but some of their kids stuff is so nice and cheap I'll be back......

SleepyFergus · 22/04/2012 18:28

By the way, all their stuff is posted from Sweden, they don't hold stock in the UK which is why it takes so frigging long.

sunnyday123 · 22/04/2012 18:37

just spoke today to staff in H&M about ordering online - apparently yes it all comes from Sweden so can take up to 4 weeks but what has put me off is that you CANNOT return to UK shops!!! You have to send back to them - thats daft thesedays!

aliciaflorrick · 22/04/2012 18:40

Sunny that's not true, I ordered the £1.99 dress and some jeans. When they arrived the jeans didn't fit so just last Saturday I took them back to the shop in town and they gave me a card with the value of the refund on it. It was really simple.

sunnyday123 · 22/04/2012 18:46

i hope you can return to store but i went to liverpool H&M today for a top i'd seen online and the girl said they didn't stock it and when i said i'd order online she said thats okay but i couldn't return to store Confused

I do want the top but without having tried it on i'm wary of ordering?

bigpants103 · 22/04/2012 19:12

I took mine back to the store and was offered a refund to a gift card or to get something else for the same value. I had to spend more than I was taking back as they couldn't refund cash. Says this on the back of the invoice so was as i expected.

I love my £1.99 dresses but sent back the £3.99 ones. found they were a funny shape.

Ryoko · 23/04/2012 16:09

It says clearly on the back of the packing note/returns label that you can return the items to an address in Southall or any branch of their store for a replacement or credit note.

Anyway I may order some more stuff if they have the cream one back in stock in size S, anyone got any codes that work?
