I've ordered a hoody. I went for the red one but by the time I checked out, it had gone so I got the other colour instead. I wish I'd known about the free delivery code Angry

You had to spend £40 to use the code.

DowagersHump · 06/09/2012 20:32

I spent a lot more than that dexter Blush

I think Uniqlo should sponsor me, the amount of clothes I buy from them Grin!

DowagersHump · 06/09/2012 20:41

I think they should sponsor me too only I'm pushing 50 so probably not their dream client Wink

showtunesgirl · 06/09/2012 21:05

My sister went down to Uniqlo first thing this morning and pretty much bought everything! Grin

Am wearing the dress I purchased yesterday. I'm a 16 so have the look of Hattie Jacques but I like it.

Have donned a belt. Would you go cinched in or low slung?

higgle · 07/09/2012 09:19

irregularregular - I'm 5 and only decided not to buy a dress because I have too many already, YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD! ( unless you decide to be) I have just bagged 2 T shirts, so thank you, Eliza, I would not have known about this collection without you! Thanks

MissFoodie · 07/09/2012 09:36

my stuff should arrive today, but I checked it all out instore yesterday, dresses (I say dresses loosely) are lovely, but more like tunics, especially if you are a C cup or over (which I am), so def leggings, skinnies or thick tights, but will look fab with ankle boots, not sure about belt yet, may highlight muffin rather than disguise.....
scarves are lovely, just a pity they're synthetic, would rather pay a bit more and they be cotton.....ordered 3 anyway Grin

higgle · 07/09/2012 09:40

56, not 5!

BombusBombus · 07/09/2012 09:56

How big do the dresses come up? Are they very short? I ordered a L and I'm size 14-16

Caerlaverock · 07/09/2012 09:57

I had a look but it is a all a it Irish mammie's housecoat for my liking

toysoldiers · 07/09/2012 10:59

I'm 5'7 and. 14-16 and I definitely need jeans or leggings with dress.

It's about 4 inches above my knee and my legs are NOT my best feature Grin

SilverSixpence · 07/09/2012 13:10

just ordered 2 dresses, a t shirt and 2 scarves. I'm pregnant so didn't want to go overboard as they probably won't fit for long and won't be great for breastfeeding either. I ordered a medium as i'm normally a size 10 so should give me a bit of extra room.

mirpuppet · 07/09/2012 19:13

I agree some of the dress look like housecoats because of the prints. I purchased a more subdued pattern. I will wear dress like a tunic as they are a bit short. Nice that the dresses are cotton but they are thin so will not be worn in the winter.

MsRinky · 08/09/2012 09:10

I rock the Irish mammy housecoat look I'll have you know. Will you have a cup of tea now ?

My stuff arrived this morning and I am very pleased with it all.

Caerlaverock · 08/09/2012 10:25

Make sure you wear a vest underneath!

BombusBombus · 08/09/2012 17:41

My dress arrived today and it is very flattering even with my 34ffs

ElizaDoMore · 08/09/2012 19:10

Love the scarf and the dress and the long sleeved t - hurrah! Grin

my dress has arrived, not had chance to try it on yet though, i got the grey and it's a nice print but darker than it looked on the website. there are some dresses coming up for sale on ebay from the same range but a style, where are they coming from?, have not seen these on the uniqlo website, are they just available in store?

nipersvest · 09/09/2012 16:52

sorry, meant to say 'different' style.

hiviolet · 09/09/2012 18:18

nipetsvest - are they from the first (SS12) collection by any chance?

nipersvest · 09/09/2012 18:54

not sure, i bought from that launch and don't remember them being there.

nipersvest · 09/09/2012 18:56

they seem to all be on sale via the same seller on ebay, they've also got some blouses too, also uniqlo but not seen these before either.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 09/09/2012 20:17
