Just want to say thanks for this, super helpful...

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 11/12/2006 19:53

I think it would suit you actually
you could wear with skinny jeans too

i just got a rather lovely silk jersey dvf wrap off ebay for £93 all in. there are loads on american ebay and the exchange rate is great, as is their postage. it really is worth taking a look.

theXmaskedposter · 11/12/2006 20:11

ahhh feck!

just ordered small - should have gone medium then

mutter mutter mutter!!!

Thanks girls! Bit suspect of the Monsoon sizing - the M&S one could be a possibility although was in London last weekend and went to Marble Arch and they didn't have anything like that.

Have some nice purple LK Bennet boots that could work with the black one!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/12/2006 00:09

I've never had a problem with monsoon sizing...

BudaBauble · 12/12/2006 05:32

Sometimes I am OK in Monsoon - have a lovely top that I wear a lot but tried on another top there a while ago and it was a bit tight.

(This after DS wandered around shop "helping" me by shouting "here's a size 22 Mummy whenever he found something!!)

Will have a look when I get back to Dublin next week. (no Monsoon in Budapest)

theXmaskedposter · 12/12/2006 10:40

just got email saying they have ammended my order to a Medium so hopefully will be ok! will let you know, cos I know you are all waiting with baited breath to find out how this drama ends ...
