LOL at Elmer's bag

well that solves Greeny's 30th birthday present then

i got mine from the tansen website. they have free delivery i think. also, it's reasonably high waisted so the hips thing should be a problem (though i suspect mine are more prominent than yours....).

That bag is the perfect gift for my MIL

If I did get that skirt - and I'm not saying I will (dh is reading over my shoulder) what size would I get - I'm a 12... and the website says 10-12 is medium and 12-14 is large.

I'm a skinny-ish 12 actually - so I think a medium

go for the medium

well i'm a 16 & the m/l fits (if i breathe in....). might have to go & try it on actually!

OK, next question...

How can I get downstairs and get my debit card without dh noticing ?

large even

Moo I think the S

I think their skirt sizes come up big

(but bizarrely I can't fit into their tops at all IME)

Brill site Fio. That skirt is going to be Out of Stock pretty soon!

I got the medium - I'd rather it was a bit big than a bit small and there's no way I'm a 10, let alone an 8.

I got the brown one...

No, their tops are pretty skinny - I got an Uttam top from Joe Browns and I got large and it's snug.

ah shite

I wamted something to wear this Saturday, what are the chances of me finding something that nice in the shops in half an hour tomorrow with an arsey 3 y o in tow?

Slim to nonexistent...

Moo look at the sizes on \link{http://www.tansen.co.uk/store.jsp_vid=20050927001&cid=3344.htmlhere}

in what universe is size 36/38 hips an 8 - 10?

here I mean

There is one shop that sells this kind of thing though, chances of them having this skirt in????

Well, you can try...

I had to get the medium - I never buy anything small

Oooh, I'm excited - we're away for a week though so I hope it will fit through the letterbox (dh is going "well, I don't know why you couldn't wait til we get back..." he knows not the Power of MN - it will sell out I bet).

aaaargh

am going to order in panicky manner

will we all recognise one another wearing The Skirt?
