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.

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??

Thanks
Report
MrsBadger · 12/06/2006 11:49

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

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

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2006 12:11

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

Thanks

FrannyandZooey · 12/06/2006 12:13

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 Shock)

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

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. )

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 Angry

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.
