hippiedays - couldn't you wear something under it? A slip, like what granny wore? I'm sure M&S have something....

J&D - I like white jeans on a summer evening.

Thanks to whoever originally suggested the La Redoute linen t-shirts, they are fantastic, bonkers sizing aside. I may end up ordering more.

What is la redoute sizing like? Have seen a couple of dresses I like and not sure whether to go for a 10 or 12...

KanyesVest · 30/05/2016 07:46

My only experience of la redoute sizing is the linen t-shirts, and as per previous poster's recommendation, I ordered 6-8, which fits perfectly. I'm usually around a 10.

boldlygoingsomewhere · 30/05/2016 07:59

Thanks, Kanye. Will run a risk and order a couple of sizes and see what fits best.

Me too white jeans. But for the really warm days when jeans too hot

Not my thing. All I'll say is that polyester will be hot!

SoThat - don't like that at all, sorry. Blue polyester is one of my sartorial nightmares.

SoThatHappened · 30/05/2016 17:53

Didnt notice it was polyester. I liked the pattern but screw polyester

CointreauVersial · 30/05/2016 18:09

Just bought this dress. Per Una and Proud!

Actually, it looked great on, vertical lines really slimming, nice length.....

CointreauVersial · 30/05/2016 18:10

....and not polyester. Wink

CointreauVersial · 30/05/2016 18:21

By the way, statement skirt-hunters, there were quite a few in Zara:

Lace/floral/pleats - lovely close up.

Floral - also in a pinky colour.

Blue & white.

I like number 2, CV. :)

JackandDiane · 30/05/2016 20:24

Bought this dress in black today. Am really pleased with it.

EnidButton · 31/05/2016 17:54

Very nice Remus I wish I could wear black, it's solve a lot of my outfit problems.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2016 17:55

I wear almost nothing else! :)

MrsCampbellBlack · 31/05/2016 18:01

New jacket in noir arrived today. Recommended by friend and perfect for work with jeans - my work is very casual.

CointreauVersial · 31/05/2016 18:15

Remus - beautiful dress! For work, or party?

MrsCB - love that too. I have a similar one - very useful.

Topshop sandals arrived - very comfy even with my wide feet. I'm wearing them around the house just to check the strings don't untie themselves within five minutes of putting them on. Jury is out....Hmm

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2016 18:17

Nice sandals!

Think I'll wear the dress to dd1's graduation, if I can find nice (not too high) shoes to go with it. I also thought it would work with boots and a biker jacket for Autumnal pub nights.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2016 18:17

Nice jacket too!

JackandDiane · 31/05/2016 18:19

Love all of those. Breaking news from the loft. I found the other silver sandal I lost in 2015

V pretty but I can't do toe posts.

KanyesVest · 31/05/2016 18:31

Great find Jack. It's so satisfying to rediscover old or forgotten gems.

Asked dh to get me this biker jacket for my birthday in a few weeks. I love the colour but can't find or justify the price of a real leather one.
