Omg!

That jumper will not do anyone any favours.

The dress isn't so bad though.

ChablisLover · 02/04/2014 11:04

Now you've got me looking at their website

Some lovely things - will wait till sale and not use the excuse I'm lying in bad ill to cheer myself up! ( already bought a whistles skirt to do that Grin)

ChablisLover · 02/04/2014 11:05

Only for the tall and skinny??

Why can no one stand up straight any more? Sad

Quangle · 02/04/2014 12:04

That seems to be the fashion for models - they all stand like this now - or vaguely knock-kneed like this:

Jess Cartner-Morley stands like this every single week in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/mar/19/sleeveless-jacket-jess-cartner-morley

is quite Liza Minnelli - the later years.

I like the black and white dress. Straight

I like that colour-block dress! Would be a piece of piss to throw on if you were in a rush in the morning with tights or leggings and a long-sleeved top underneath. Converse, ballet flats, ankle boots with a bit of a heel ...

DISCLAIMER I am tall and quite slim.

threepiecesuite · 02/04/2014 18:11

I am tall and slim. I think Great Plains is cut for large boobs though, no good for me.

ParkingFred · 02/04/2014 19:46

I am wearing these far too often.

I like lots of their stuff but need to size down; it's all massive.

Annietheacrobat · 02/04/2014 19:49

Parking Fred - just ordered the leopard print skinnies! Thanks very much

ParkingFred · 02/04/2014 19:51

They're gorgeous! I get loads of comments about them.

Shame I bought them at £65 & they're now £29..

Standingonlego · 02/04/2014 20:05

Lots of lovely things on there - how does the sizing come up? I am a busty 10 Blush

LordPalmerston · 02/04/2014 20:28

this is the dress I like

Parking - they are lovely jeans.

Lordpalmerston- that's a gorgeous dress too

Ujjayi · 02/04/2014 21:50

The cut of those colour block dresses isn't too bad but the colours are dire.

Am tempted by those leopard jeans. Am 43...mutton?? Hmm

indyandlara · 03/04/2014 10:13

What do you all do if you are size 10, small but with hefty thighs? Love lots of things on that site but they look pretty short. Tight? Leggings? Boots or shoes? Am clueless but panicking about impending better weather when I can't wear long boots all the time!

OnlyLovers · 03/04/2014 12:40

I like the colours! I'd totally wear the neutral and black one. Is my style radar WAY out of whack? [worried]

CointreauVersial · 03/04/2014 13:13

(mustn't click links, mustn't click links)

I like Great Plains apart from the lack of free returns, but I can't justify any more spurious purchases at the moment.

Cereal0ffender · 03/04/2014 13:32

Grayson perry on dress down friday

LordPalmerston · 03/04/2014 17:27

I saw that too. Gopping. It must be is - boden have something similar. No idea with thighs. Lose weight or bare them and be proud ?

LordPalmerston · 03/04/2014 17:28

Oh you're size ten. Fuck it. Show em. Stop apologising for your body
