OK I now have a dilemma :)

I tried on the Oasis one, it was really nice, poppers not buttons, so I am not sure about toddler dancing, but I did check for gape :) However it was quite tight in a size 14 and they didn't have a 16. Now I am also on a diet (lost 2st so far) and am planning to continue to loose weight. So do I get teh size 14 which could be a tad tarty, in teh knowlege I am loosing weight.

It looked really nice, and about 7lbs less it would be perfect.

Or do I wait for the Next one?

NomDePlume · 28/03/2006 14:31

When did you order the Next one ? My Next orders usually come the day after I order.

crunchie · 28/03/2006 14:52

oh thats good to know annie

leogaela · 28/03/2006 15:07

Really Annie? Trousers I usually find are really long, but the dress seemed to fit quite well (I am a bit over 5'3).

i agree about the trousers annie - its fine being short cos you can always get trousers taken up - easier than them being too long!

but sometimes trousers (like flared styles) look odd if you need them taken up too much

i also agree about zara trousers being really long - i like their jeans but i never buy them because i dont like altered jeans

nailpolish · 28/03/2006 15:34

easier than them being too short i mean (doh!)

where's the pic cod?

crunchie · 28/03/2006 16:43

Hmm, how tall are you COD? and how big are your norks? Sorry to need details, but I am about 38C on the top and 5'2- 5'3" so if you are a tall bird with big knockers, the dress might fit me!!

Do look at teh Oasis one COD to me it looked pretty near spot on
