well i'm not an expert AT ALL but went into donna ida expecting to be a 26 or 27, came out 25 in J Brands and 24 in goldsigns. BUT the goldsigns were/are VERY stretchy. does that help at all?! i'd be tempted to size down a touch, depending on the description i think.

Annianni · 27/02/2013 20:56

Mine are a 32 Marsha, i'm a 32 in j brand, but 31 in Hudson if that helps?

Annianni · 27/02/2013 20:58

Oh and yoox had a few white-ish Goldsigns today, different styles, some cropped.

This thread is no good for my health! Have you got them Marsha?

I've got the frontier cropped Goldsign, they are lovely jeans.

My yoox order came today, I like the J Brand 811's but not sure about the colour (dark grey)

The black cord Hudsons are a great fit, but I would never wear them.

The grey 7's are lovely but tiny.

And i'm undecided on the Goldsign. They fit nice but I wasn't sure of the bootcut-ish ankle situation. I'll try them again in the morning.

I did find a pair of MiH Paris on the outnet earlier, so I couldn't resist :o

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 21:11

Argh something wrong with my order have pressed buy twice, argh takes me back to confirm again. Scared to do it again if something is going on.

Not good for my health either Grin

Anni good buys, which colour MiH Paris were they?

anni you are winning all the shopping prizes atm, i am in AWE

marsha i hope you get them, i am off to bed but will take the ipad and check back so i can sleep soundly!

i'm not ordering anything else till my cc bill is issued next week as it's f-ing huge (goldsigns, j brands, gap order, JL order AND the ash trainers from SP ) but as marsha pointed out i might get lucky in sales time as am an odd size

night all xx

Annianni · 27/02/2013 21:22

They are the dark denim Paris Marsha.

I've not got many Shop, honest...

Goldsign frontier
Hudson baby bootcut
Hudson bacara (best jeans ever)

Plus a few manky pairs from Gap.

I've had to replace everything after losing weight last year.
So obviously I need several more :o

Annianni · 27/02/2013 21:25

I have ordered quite a bit in the past couple of weeks, but most of it has gone back or is waiting to be returned.

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 21:38

Ok I got them. But I may have to avoid here at around 9pm too bad for heart rate Wink

Especially as I ordered them three times in the end as the site kept going in a loop, god got to fix that first thing.

Seriously thanks Shop you are a good fashion fairy!

Good news. Fingers crossed theywork Marsha. Was it you i found the Pistols for back in the day? :)
I'm hovering over a pair on the Outnet. There's only 1 pair left but I think I need a 31 and they only have a 32...........

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 21:48

yes! You are very good!

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 21:50

Yes I think go for it. I loved the look of those and wish I had seen them earlier.

Bought them. James Jeans
A size bigger than my plum ones but that might be a good thing in a lighter colour. Fingers crossed.........

Well done Shop!

Foxy you are a great size, I'm throwing all the 24 links your way Grin.

Anni you're on a roll!

Ok that has wrecked me, no confirmation email however which is unnerving. but they've taken the £. Just need to get to tomorrow to ring up and see what's happening.

Annianni · 27/02/2013 22:06

Foxy there's some nice pale grey Goldsigns on the outnet in a 24.

Nice jeans Shop, I can't do pale colours.

Where did you order them from Marsha?

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 22:08

Austique, so in the UK thankfully. Hope they are kind and quick with the refund of too much £!

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 22:09

Not sure I can do pale colours yet Anni or that my 2YO DS can either!! Grin

Good luck for the morning and/or confirmation email.

Drywhiteplease · 27/02/2013 22:19

Has anyone tried
these jeans? Or the brand? MrsCampbellblack recommended them on another thread and im v intersted.
Interested in comments about Goldsign coming up big. I tried 7FaM in a 26... They were a bit snug,in Gap real straight I'm an easy 26....I know some jeans stretch with wear, should I order 2 pairs?

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 22:19

Thanks Anni!

libertychick · 27/02/2013 22:27

Wow two shopping frenzy nights in a row! Think it's just as well I am busy this week.
Pseud absolutely no need to apologise - the jumper was ripped as they had packed it badly - it's a great shape, feels lovely and I imagine it would be better in a darker colour. I was just having a moan as I really want some new clothes and have returned practically everything I have ordered recently...I so appreciate getting ideas on this thread and in S&B generally.

QueenCadbury · 28/02/2013 08:09

Morning all, just a quickie...I've had an email with gap with their seasonal reductions. I know a few of you have bought the dolman sleeve sweater which is now reduced if you want another one...
