not that they ever really had it!

I was in there this morning, there was not one thing I would even have considered trying on!

And the kids clothes - OMG - they fell into two categories, those that would look good if you are over 70 and those that would make your dd look like a tiny prostitute!!

Very odd.

I went in there on saturday and i have to agree, all the per una stuff was awful

itsmeNDP · 05/02/2007 12:57

It has never been my first choice for fashion or kids clothes, I have to say

itsmeNDP · 05/02/2007 12:58

CD, ever since I told DH that you knew (ish) who he is and ho he works for, he is hugely curious to know which firm you work for.........

itsmeNDP · 05/02/2007 12:59

I was truly horrified walking past per una on Friday

was considering posting but am trying to seriously limit mumsnet usage

I agree with Quad, Per Una stuff is gross atm. A couple of nice things in Limited Collection. The rest is ok if you are 102.

noddyholder · 05/02/2007 13:00

per una is vile All ruffles ties and crumpled Hideous.The limited collection stuff is good though and I still like the food when I don't want to cook

quadrophenia · 05/02/2007 13:01

oh god yes per una is VILE

Their suits look like something from Mr Byrite circa 1985, so cheap and nasty

They have loads of stuff that looks like only a crazed catwoman would wear it, I mean, purleeese!!

I have never liked the adults stuff, but I think some of the kids stuff is nice....there is a dress I want for Dd2.

nutcracker · 05/02/2007 13:06

Blimey, that jumper is foul.

EnidLloydFoxe · 05/02/2007 13:06

lolol

that cardi was one of the vilest tings in there

also boak

Cloudhopper · 05/02/2007 13:07

Agree that per una has gone completely downhill. It's definitely moved up age-wise and not moved "on". When it first came out it was a breath of fresh air, but now they need to update the range.

swifterella · 05/02/2007 13:07

limited collection rocks though. Per una is just awful. hate it

EnidLloydFoxe · 05/02/2007 13:07

oh yes, well done stylists, SO much nicer in the mustard
