what's up with the clothes in Dorothy Perkins?

seriously

Retro I am afraid I really should have held on to my mums dresses.

I like the sequin band dress!

I have the same question - tried on a size 10 jacket the other day (didn't expect it to fit but was the last black one of a certain style in the sale) & it was MASSIVE - there was at least an extra handspan of material on each side so I'm sure that the wrong size had been sewn on (esp as the size 12 is too small!)

I like half of those . . . .

I like alot of them too!

not this one though?!

Oh that reminds me of the film whats her names party .

No with those contrasting colours but if it was all black i'd like it.

I like some of them too .

Ming-a-ding-ding!

it's the colour combos i object to. mostly...

I like this one

i like this one

although it is possibly not very glamourous!

snap ledodgy!!!!

agree some of the dresses are too retro imo,but I love this macI want one

That mac is nice.

ooh i didn't see that mac. i LURVE it!!

Just not quite right are they?Dodgy colour combinations and cheap looking imo. Think DP tries to be a n older version of Topshop,but doesn't work I don't think.
However,Marie Claire magazine have voted them shop of the month! Very often the clothes you see in magazines bear no resemblence to what you get in the shops!

I am near two DPs - one is full of ghastly minging things and bobbly jumpers and the other has all the cool things you see in the mags - don't know why... maybe they have different ranges for Local stores and Stylish City stores.

All I ever see in the DP locally is jumpers in a 1000 different colours.

the jumpers they sell always remind me of children's tv presenters.

there are a few bits that are ok but on the whole it is all badly made from cheap material, not cut to flatter and won't last more than a few washes.
