FAO FrannyAndZooey - shrugs for your perusal...

[MrsBadger]

I know the brief was for sheer, but haven't found too many - \link{http://store.monsoon.co.uk/catalog/Welcome?pid=9064\this} struck me as being a bit on the frilly side, as did \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=X37&p=4&s=1&n=Womenswear&pid=991-617-X37&extra=sch&ref=http%3a%2f%2fsearch%2enext%2eco%2euk%2fsearch%3fp%3dQ%26ts%3dcustom%26w%3dshrug%26srid%3dS5%2d7%26lbc%3dnext%26af%3d%26cnt%3d%26images%3don%26srt%3d%26isort%3dscore%26method%3dand%26format%3d%26nb%3d%26np%3d\this.} \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=G30&p=6&s=1&n=Womenswear&pid=988-018-G30&extra=sch&ref=http%3a%2f%2fsearch%2enext%2eco%2euk%2fsearch%3fp%3dQ%26ts%3dcustom%26w%3dshrug%26srid%3dS5%2d7%26lbc%3dnext%26af%3d%26cnt%3d%26images%3don%26srt%3d%26isort%3dscore%26method%3dand%26format%3d%26nb%3d%26np%3d\This} one is actually pretty cool, and \link{http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Product_Id=2024628&portal=locayta\this} seems perfect except for the tie-up front.
\link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9306887&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=7034605&bmUID=1150107905507\This} might be sheer - hard to tell from the pic, and is also available in \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9306631&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=7034605&bmUID=1150108012351\white}.

Further post with non-sheer ones will follow as it seems you can't put more than ten links in a post without weirdness ensuing.

Here are some miscellaneous non-sheer ones -
one in \link{http://store.monsoon.co.uk/catalog/Welcome?pid=9826\satin},
three lineny ones \link{http://store.monsoon.co.uk/catalog/Welcome?pid=8504\here}, \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9007603&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=7023417&bmUID=1150107905507\here (pink)} and \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=G30&p=14&s=3&n=Womenswear&pid=946-483-G30&extra=sch&ref=http%3a%2f%2fsearch%2enext%2eco%2euk%2fsearch%3fp%3dQ%26ts%3dcustom%26w%3dshrug%26srid%3dS5%2d7%26lbc%3dnext%26af%3d%26cnt%3d%26images%3don%26srt%3d20%26isort%3dscore%26method%3dand%26format%3d%26nb%3d%26np%3d\here},
some broderie-anglais type cotton ones \link{http://store.monsoon.co.uk/catalog/Welcome?pid=9038\here} (this is my favourite), and more \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=X37&p=158&s=2&n=Womenswear&pid=965-816-X37&extra=sch&ref=http%3a%2f%2fsearch%2enext%2eco%2euk%2fsearch%3fp%3dQ%26ts%3dcustom%26w%3dshrug%26srid%3dS5%2d7%26lbc%3dnext%26af%3d%26cnt%3d%26images%3don%26srt%3d%26isort%3dscore%26method%3dand%26format%3d%26nb%3d%26np%3d\here}, \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9331573&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=6398865&bmUID=1150107905523\here} and \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=9384055&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=7023417&bmUID=1150107780273\here},
and a brown cotton one \link{http://www.debenhams.com/jv/product_details_jv.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8953979&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=7552835&bmUID=1150107780304\here.}
And a \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=G30&p=10&s=1&n=Womenswear&pid=984-813-G30&extra=sch&ref=http%3a%2f%2fsearch%2enext%2eco%2euk%2fsearch%3fp%3dQ%26ts%3dcustom%26w%3dshrug%26srid%3dS5%2d7%26lbc%3dnext%26af%3d%26cnt%3d%26images%3don%26srt%3d%26isort%3dscore%26method%3dand%26format%3d%26nb%3d%26np%3d\lace} one for good measure.

i soswed her those

what, all of them?

the monsoon one

how do you link to one item?

you have to right click -> Open Link in New Window and do the link from the new window.

Do you think the green dotty one or the brown lacy one could look kind of funky chic on a 39 yo? or am I hoping for too much??

think the brown one could work as boho chic, but the cutesy collar on the green one pushes it too far IMO.

actually I'm not sure even a svelte twenty-something could pull off the green one - I certainly couldn't, however young I was...

not even if it was teamed with a retro stripe top underneath? I really love the colour.

Oh you are so sweet

You have made my morning Mrs Badger :)

but you know, cod was right to get hacked off with me, I am such a fussy blighter. I will go and have a look now and let you know. But if they are all the Monsoon ones I am afraid there was only one I would actually wear and it was far too expensive

FaZ do you like \link{http://www.abound.co.uk/AboNet/product.aspx?sid=MPPB1M5U21UFK0JV9XGQSHRE5UCPNTG3&brand=Abound&prod_id=255271\cheesecloth} ?

and does it have to be a shrug? or would a blouse type one suffice?

OOOh ooh ooh you are getting really, really close here.

no 1 is perfect material, hideous detailing

2 - gorgeous but wrong colour, I never wear white

3. spotty one a definitel possibility. A bit smarter than I wanted, but maybe...

4. yes lovely except for tie

5. hmm not sure it's sheer

ah just looked at white on - it isn't, is it?

But these are FAB fab fab and cod you didn't show me any of those!

will look at next lot of links

I do like cheesecloth but I don't like that one.

Nearest so far is Mrs B's no 2 (fnaar), or no 4, either of which I would consider buying if it was black or another colour I like. (although £20 is more my price really than £35 )

Gloworm a blouse would be ok, but I really want just a tiny bit to cover my shoulders

OOH ooh I like the brown cotton one and it's on sale :)

What do you reckon though? Is it a bit frilly?

i told oyu to look ta monsoon fgs

LOL, this is a Debenhams one cod

Mrs Badger, Malory will be pleased with you :)

Mrs Badger :(

I just went to buy the chocolate one

they don't have it in my size or the next size up

But oh it was good to know they do exist :)

hurrah that there was one you liked amongst the multitude
bum that they don't have it in your size

may be worth going into a local Debenhams and asking which stores have it in stock (they can look it up on the computer). Then ring any/all of the stores that do have it and pay by credit card over the phone - think they charge £2 or something for postage, but they will do it - got hold of a shirt DH was desparate for this way.

Um, franny, you're handy aren't you? I'd think a shrug would be pretty bloody easy to make, wouldn't it? (I'd knit one, if I needed one, but I don't, because they're mindbogglingly pointless. Oh yes, this is why I don't come in style. )

am hunting the brown one on ebay etc - few others popped up too:

I think a crocheted one would be nicer than a knitted one
personally

I don't do crocheting, but have nothing against it personally. :-P

Oh, and by a knitted one, I did mean a lacy sort of knitted one, not just something simple. Obviously.

MrsB, I will ring them, that is a fab idea.

I don't want knitted or crocheted, this has all been covered in the other thread

NQC I can't knit or sew or...erm, do much, in fact.

I will peruse all these new links when I get back, you are marvellous MrsB.
