Has any MN'er admitted to having one yet?

Gingernaut · 04/06/2017 14:41

Me. I can't wear it out where I live - it's too small a town. I'd always be side-eyed by people who only know me by sight as 'that one in that pink dress'.

I'm saving it for the London Mumsnet Meetup. Blush

LOl. You must be quite short

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 16:20

I like your bag. Is it (Roobarb and) Custard?

OhTheRoses · 04/06/2017 16:52

Ha ha gingernaut. We could all buy one and flock like flamengos.

ErrolTheDragon · 04/06/2017 18:28

The boden one is in ponte jersey - much better fabric - colours are better (nowt wrong with bottle green - most school uniforms are navy or blackConfused), it says it has a back zip so presumably not that bizarre bra-incompatibility, the flare sleeve is restrained and flare rather than an ugly bell shape. The cut of the body is meh though.

Gingernaut · 04/06/2017 18:38

I'm 5 feet tall. The bag is Disney's Cheshire Cat.

The quote on the side is "I'm not crazy. My reality is just different from yours"

Gingernaut · 04/06/2017 21:00

I do like the Boden dress. Wish I'd bought that one....Envy

EnidButton · 04/06/2017 23:15

Where I am most uniforms are bottle green, maroon or navy. Not that it makes any difference. We were just saying why we personally wouldn't buy that colour. 5 years of wearing it everyday was enough. Grin

SophieGiroux · 04/06/2017 23:18

Not sure if it's already been mentioned as I haven't RTWF but the dress is featured in this weeks Look magazine! Lol

Qtipsrsweet · 06/06/2017 08:28

I'm sure Susanna Reid is wearing it on GMB this morning

WhatchaMaCalllit · 11/07/2017 13:22

Well would you have guessed it??

It's only made it into the M&S Summer sale - £22 per dress ladies....roll up! Roll up!!!

They'll be flying off the racks now, right???

Yikes....nope....still as Pepto-Bismol-ish as it was before.....

laramara · 11/07/2017 16:37

Taking a short cut through my local M&S earlier today where the sale was on,I couldn't help notice the dress rail was dominated by a plentiful supply of the pink dress!!

Gingernaut · 13/07/2017 12:48

Found someone else wearing the dress.

The Irish Gingernaut has (AGAIN!!) used my email address to sign herself up to Therapie.

A close up shows a bit of the tie ribbon at the back of her neck.

Saw this as well.

Same design, but different pattern.....

They haven't learned. Sad

She looks good in that pink dress. However it does look horrible on the website.

Gingernaut · 13/07/2017 16:59

It looks horrible 'in the flesh' too.

LadyB49 · 14/07/2017 01:25

It's 1.20am I'm in bed and I've just found this thread. I've just scared the bejasus out of dh by snorting with laughter at the pic of gingernaught in that pink dress in the cubicle !!!!

I applaud your service to womankind in general.

Maccapacca88 · 14/07/2017 13:26

5'2" size 8 here. Pissed myself laughing in the changing room, must have sounded nuts!

Gingernaut · 14/07/2017 18:04

Yay! Look at that @Bluntness100!

We are not alone!

Maccapacca88 · 14/07/2017 22:04

I can't imagine a body type that it could possibly suit! It's viiiile! (channeling Gimme Gimme Gimme's Linda) Grin

OhTheRoses · 23/07/2017 10:33

There were dozens on the sale rack in Epsom yesterday. In all sizes. Reduced to £15.00. They still weren't shifting.

I think in 20 years time they will be seen on tragic documentary films about war torn nations having been sent to aid agencies.

Gingernaut · 31/07/2017 19:50

Zara reckons lampshade fringes are all the rage for the coming season. Confused

Asymmetric even.

Our M&S have summer clearance sale on. No sign of any pink dresses though.

I reckon they've given up and chucked them into rag shredding to be recycled Hmm.
