[ElizabethHoover]

( or too short? would have to try, model presumably amazonian)

Or get it in green Dancer, and pretend to be a Pacer!

Tesco one nice but not me think its the belt! Am going to order the grey one to try I suit that shape

Some of these dresses are too formal for me
I like the tesco..like an asos I wore to bits, actually, last year
I've never tesco'd before...but that's great and useful

Navy not-quite White Stuff dress arrived from Amazon today. I like it - it's slightly more of a casual throw-on dress than the red one I have, as it's a little shorter and has a bit of an invisible stretch to the waist at the back.

I like that Tesco dress. Wish it came in a lighter colour though.

My not quite White stuff dress has arrived too. I haven't tried it on yet but like the look of it.

Are all the labels cut out of yours Scrambled? Do you think they may have fallen off the back of a lorry?

Like the Tesco dress, but... Polyester

Yes, they've been cut out of mine too . However the quality, fabric and style is very similar to the red broderie one I have from this season, so I hope think it's legit.

Broderie is funny stuff, isn't it? Looks like it should be a heavy fabric, but is in actuality really light and breathable, thanks to the holes. I'm glad I've got it, last year I had a lot of loose t-shirt style dresses in cotton jersey and despite looking like they were cool and floaty they were a bit on the warm side. Looking forward to wafting around feeling fresh and cool this year.

Tesco one would be good in a light jersey - it's useless in polyester.

Has anybody seen a black or grey cotton shirt dress anywhere?

www.laredoute.co.uk/cotton-and-cashmere-dress-with-long-batwing-sleeves/prod-324469425-758714.aspx like this for winter

and this nice too www.laredoute.co.uk/pure-linen-dress-with-three-quarter-sleeves/prod-324494634-210015.aspx

It's probably considered a crime against S&B but this dress is really easy to wear and well-made and...cotton Probably not for hot hot days though.

NEWS

the next laced up flats came and are REALLY Nice. Boden ones are back in the post.

am off to a flagship marks take son 2 to cricket tomorrow so will be able to investigate anything you want me to look at there

Can you look out for boring but potentially useful t-shirt

And if they have any plain cotton jumpers - white or navy or grey, ideally. Website not revealing much.

Also relaxed skinnies in grey I suspect will be awful though.

Love a list! yes i can. Had to wrestle this gig of H so am pleased

'off'

love the jeans outfit look thing.

I like that school run dress (although I dont do a school run anymore)

Im 4ft 11" though so would look like a sack of shit

I prefer the next ones

I wear rolled up skinnies a lot in Spring, but wondered if the looser ones might be cooler/more comfortable for slobbing days. I can't 'do' chinos etc, as I look hideous in them.

www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-half-sleeve-t-shirt-with-staynew/p/p22391809 can you look at this for size and neck as our shop doesn't have it and I love that shape

agree sometimes that skinnies seem too much for messing around.

I got the Next skinnies ( non relaxed) as an impulse buy the other day when getting s3 summer shorts( aged 12 in size 15) and i like em. Slight wear detail to pocket.

Sorry and I meant to say they are a nice loose skinny. just' jeans' you know.

But god my arse is flat and middle aged. has anyone ever had bumlift jeans?

Noddy - I looked at those the other day. They were a 'No' for me. I think they'd lose their shape and go baggy on the neck - need some Elastane in them.

wil try the t on, nod in a 12 and a 'tits ahoy' 14
its only cotton... might need a soupçon of lycra

M&S do 'Lift' jeans. I have a pair but not convinced they make a huge difference.

Thank you! I like the colour its a facelift on a bad day
