Just saw this thread so missed the free delivery code Sad got two long sleeved tops and a scarf, ordered Thursday morning as gutted to miss the previous collection and really pleased with them, esp the scarf. Smile

The ebay dress and the top were at the Oxford Circus branch when I went. Many other patterns of both. Couldn't tell if they sold out on website or if they have yet to be listed online by Uniqlo. I see the available items have disappeared from the website -- for example no hoodies available.

nipersvest · 09/09/2012 22:29

they must have more to add online then (hopeful), i think the hoodies and scarves have all sold out online.

nipersvest · 09/09/2012 22:31

actually, scratch that, most of the hoodies have sold out but there are still scarves there.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 09/09/2012 22:52

I was online exactly as they launched and neither was there. The shirt is definitely launching online in the 15th though.

nipersvest · 10/09/2012 09:18

right, have now tried on the dress and am keeping it. most definitely needs wearing as a tunic though.

as a dress, it's a little too much like a boden hotch-potch girls party dress.

Beanbagz · 10/09/2012 09:25

In the store yesterday and bought 3 tops & a hoody. Very pleased with them. Didn't like the dresses at all.

MissFoodie · 10/09/2012 16:35

mine have all arrived, love the tunic dresses, only keeping one though as the other is too bright...I got the dark grey/black muted one, also glad I got two scarves as one of them is now sold out

tunics are longer than I expected but still tunics, so def skinnies/leggings underneath, I am 5ft9

MissFoodie · 10/09/2012 16:36

ps saw shirts instore and do not like, v short and with a peplum?????

DowagersHump · 10/09/2012 17:37

I've got my hoody - it's really roomy and is lined so quite cosy. Also roomy (I got the L because I have mahoosive norks) - I reckon I could have got a M (am a 14/16 on top)

FYP · 10/09/2012 20:57

I like my dresses. They are almost knee length on me - 5'2" Grin I didn't know they were t shirt material though I thought they were cotton cotton, like a bed sheet cotton so slightly disappointed but I still like them.

higgle · 11/09/2012 10:04

My two long sleved Ts arrived yesterday ( very quick delivery) They are really lovely, the mediums are a true 12. I will be wearing them with very dark jeans and a tan belt. Hope to bag a shirt on Saturday.

Stevie77 · 11/09/2012 11:35

Still stuff online. Am looking at the long sleeve tshirts - which ones did you get that look nice IRL? Some of the print is a bit eek

dexter73 · 11/09/2012 11:36

I have this one. Quite muted colours and hopefully not too eek!

Stevie77 · 11/09/2012 12:15

Hmmm, thanks Dexter. Need to think what I could wear it with, other than jeans!

MissFoodie · 11/09/2012 15:11

i prefer the fact the tunic is t-shirt cotton, makes it drape nicely, if it was stiff cotton it would be v tentish....

higgle · 11/09/2012 18:21

I have the same one as Dexter and this one both look good on me.

skirt · 14/09/2012 09:42

Just ordered this and the stem t shirt. Hope it doesnt make me look massive shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/075014?gareco=r_l4#colorSelect

MissFoodie · 14/09/2012 15:06

no, it's surprisingly flattering!

SilverSixpence · 14/09/2012 15:46

got mine at the weekend, came with some jelly beans Grin

the dress is ok, t-shirt material when I was expecting a cotton woven fabric, but is comfortable on. I think i will return one though as not a huge fan of the print (the pale pink one with black flowers).

The scarves are surprisingly soft and light, feel very nice for polyester. I wish I liked more of the prints!

MsRinky · 17/09/2012 11:58

I've been checking every day to see when the tunics came in online. Checked at 9 o'clock this morning and they weren't there, just the nasty peplum blouses.

Then just checked my e-mail where it said tunics online as well. Just managed to order the two I wanted but they were already showing as low stock.

I am now banned from buying any more new clothes for at least a year.

teejwood · 17/09/2012 12:15

Hi all - sorry forgot to update on my order. I got 2 x l/s t-shirts. Love them both: green pear and blue trees

I also got 2 of the dresses but am only keeping one - the dark grey. I got a hoodie in the blue stem print - dp is not keen on it, but I'm a bit reluctant to return it when they are sold out online, so if I decided I did want it then I would regret returning it iykwim... Still pondering that one. Similarly, I got a couple of the scarves so I could decide which of the colour schemes/patterns I liked best but I can't make up my mind Blush - and again they are now sold out online so if I changed my mind then I'd be stuffed.

I won't be buying any of the blouses but might be tempted by one of the tunic tops (short sleeve with ruching in the middle) for layering. Has anyone tried them?

nipersvest · 17/09/2012 13:05

i wanted one of the tunics but wasn't quick enough and it was out of stock by the time i got my card details typed in. boo! might just keep an eye out on ebay instead, on pop in store next time i'm in london.

DowagersHump · 17/09/2012 13:08

I've ordered two tunics - just did it really fast because I was so slow last time, they'd sold out of the hoody I wanted before I'd got through checkout. I don't know if I'll hate them or not but at least I can actually try them on this way.

The tunics only went on sale today teej :)

I like my hoodie - if you like yours, I tink you should keep it :)

nipersvest · 17/09/2012 13:10

found it on ebay, but it's going to cost me a tenner more, is it worth it??
