I have just ordered this dress for £13! I'm really pleased because I wanted it when it first came out, but it sold out quickly.

I've just had my money refunded. No horses shagging dress for me Sad and indeed, no further purchases from Great Plains or French Connection.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 21/06/2012 12:22

I like it (despite the horses looking as if they're in flagrante delicto Grin) but it is £38 now and only in a small, which is too big for me. Will look at the rest of the sale though.

It may be worth checking colours on websites of other people selling Great Plains before you order. I ordered this tunic which is actually much brighter colours in real life. Silly me - I thought the colours on the GP website would be more true to life than other sellers! Hmm. So disappointed as I'd been wanting that top ever since the catalogue came out Sad

Spent 84 quid on 4 items. Oops. One was the navy lace skirt that I had resisted buying at full price though.

Thanks Dolly and Minnie - didn't see it before but now I can't look at it without it being blindingly obvious Grin

Corrupting the minds of MNers, one at a time... Grin

ToryLovell · 21/06/2012 16:39

Grin - think you're a bit late for that - I assumed it was a dress perfect for shagging in, as the full skirt gave easy access!

MinnieBar · 21/06/2012 17:19

Apparently in the twenties (I think!) That Sort Of Thing was rife - girls would wear full-skirted dresses and then, er, sit on their boyfriends' laps in clubs while they watched Josephine Baker do her banana leaf dance* and to the casual observer they were just cuddling. (And presumably jiggling a bit? I'm no expert, but surely you'd need to actually move?!)

Mine has been dispatched, we go on holiday tomorrow, what are the bets it gets delivered minutes after we leave!!

ElizaDoMore · 25/06/2012 17:13

Mine arrived today - love it! Thanks again, OP! Wink

LexieSinclair · 25/06/2012 21:49

Happy to help, I love mine too. Smile

Wore my dress to work today

LexieSinclair · 26/06/2012 21:42

Excellent Trills - I'm still looking for the right shoes to wear with mine.

Has anyone received their horseprint dress yet? Just wondered what the fit was like?

DizzIzz · 26/06/2012 21:56

I ordered the Primrose Hill dress today as I'd fancied it for a while and hope to wear these new shoes with it:

LexieSinclair · 26/06/2012 22:20

Bellabeeboo I've got mine and I find the fit to be quite generous. It might be worth dropping a size.
Dizzlzz I can't get that link to work?

ElizaDoMore · 27/06/2012 07:58

I have

these shoes

I am VERY limited re: what I can wear on my feet but these do look quite nice with the horse print dress.

mumto2lovelygals · 27/06/2012 10:05

I got mine for £13 and I am wearing it today, had 2 compliments so far! It is a lovely dress, thank you OP.

sarsiem · 27/06/2012 18:10

The price is now £25.50! Am very tempted

ElizaDoMore · 27/07/2012 18:00

It's back in stock at £25.

SuePurblybilt · 27/07/2012 19:28

How knee-length is the horse shaggy dress? I like it, but I want knee length, not over the knee. I'm 5'6 and I don't understand that centre back measurement thing they do.

catgirl2012 · 27/07/2012 19:47

I got it for £25 which is still a bargain

Thats the second dress i have bought this week because someone posted it on here. This section will bankrupt me :(
