Love this thread, just caught up with it after few days holiday.
Anyone else get the Hush Jersey dress liked up thread somewhere, there was a short and long sleeved version?
And totally off topic but I bought these Zara jeans ( first ever) before I went. Total bargain, mega flattering ( they def hold you in without feeling tight), and looked summery. Bit unsure re the rips as think that's a bit over ( and I'm too old) but feck it, good enough!

And, totally ignoring the brand/shop horror, this t shirt quite nice.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/04/2015 10:37

Yes - and I'm only a short arse, so gawd knows how all you lanky ones are coping. I usually layer a longer vest under them, but no good for the hottest days.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/04/2015 10:38

Pub quiz - jeans, lacy top. Sorted!

ElizabethHoover · 11/04/2015 10:41

thinks of my twenty thrillion pairs of potential jeans

Yes to tops getting shorter again Sad I noticed this creeping in again over the winter when I was looking for a decent length jumper.

JaniceJoplin · 11/04/2015 10:43

I now have the Jigsaw stripey tshirt dress linked up thread. It is amazing thick material and hangs well. At less than £60 I am SmileSmileSmile. Will def be school running in it.

Waiting for the Hush denim shirt dress to arrive.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/04/2015 10:45

For the non School Runners, get thee onto the new Workwear thread too, before it disappears.

dottyaboutstripes · 11/04/2015 17:50

What's the sizing like on that Jigsaw dress? I feel a purchase coming on

MelonMelon · 11/04/2015 18:10

Any of you ladies found a decent denim shirt dress?

Charitygirl1 · 11/04/2015 20:34

As the tops gets shorter the waist lines must get higher of course! Is not so bad - stretchy pencil skirts and boyfriend jeans perfect for this.

Tiredemma · 12/04/2015 13:56

Have also noticed tops getting shorter which is really frustrating as I dont have a flat belly (by any stretch if the imagination).

JaniceJoplin · 12/04/2015 20:33

Re the jigsaw dress I bought a M and it fits just right. I'm a 12 on top and 14 below, 32f but I am short. Looks modest on me. Great material though not clingy.

Turquoiseblue · 13/04/2015 06:58

Shameless place marking for later Smile.
Am desperately in need of some new bits for spring but am totally lost in terms of what to wear, pregnant - a little bigger than usual but not quite looking pregnant yet. Was hoping to try some dresses inan attempt to remain vaguely stylish. The links in here are lovely.
Am hitting re shops later will link any further finds (though I suspect you may have all done the hard work already GrinGrin)

Jacksonbrodieswife · 13/04/2015 07:43

dinky I bought the hush dress, the long sleeved version.
It was nice but not £50 nice iyswim, fabric was not as I expected, very off duty grey/ black slubby cotton, plus I struggled with the sizes,after reading the reviews I picked s/m (I'm usually a 12) but it's not quite right on me, looks a bit small but I suspect the ml would be massive.

Length was good though, just above knee though decent, and I'm tall.

Shame I was sooo excited about that one.

ElizabethHoover · 13/04/2015 09:00

Bought the Hush jacket. Only had a quick try on, (with no bra on, ) but don't think it's for me. Expensive for what it is and I don't seem to be able to make it look casual. Looks a bit 'pearl clutching' on me. Will try on properly later, with a bra on. Prob return.

noddyholder · 13/04/2015 12:27

I am getting loads of wear from the Zara cardigan so useful goes with most things and brilliant in this half arsed weather

RonaldMcDonald · 13/04/2015 12:31

Sorry noddy...which one?
