So this is the Kensington dress in a 12. I think probably not for me - it feel's quite staid and buttoned up, somehow. It is a lovely dress though. And it has pockets. What d'you all think?

Feels! Bloody random apostrophe!

Ive been happily buying bits and bobs on eBay for the last couple of weeks, though I really need to stop now for a bit I mean how linen v necks and tshirts do I need! Got another pair of harems but in an S this time and I actually prefer them which is annoying as I bought the mediums new and they need to last. The boyfriend jeans are fab though I wish they did a size 9 as I seem to fall between the 8 and 10. Bought the 10 but they are a bit big round my waist and bum.

The strange thing is how different seasons jumpers vary in size. I think some have stretched in the wash and won’t go back but it’s ok as I prefer my jumpers slouchy.

I love the Portobello dress , it looks really good on you Dave.

I need to get to John Lewis and try on a few dresses. They mostly look such a strange shape I can’t believe they would look good on me and would probably be a bit short too. I really like the Tara style with the baggy top and ruched skirt. I have a ruched skirt I bought on eBay because it was raved about on MN but haven’t really worn it as I’m more a jeans and tee type.

So far I love the tshirts I’ve bought especially the current one with silver stars. Still balk at paying quite so much for them though and even secuhand they seem to hold their value.

The other day I saw someone wearing the reversible jumper and stopped to check it was Hush. She was lovely and said that she too can pick out fellow Hush wearers. She just looked really good even though she was just wearing a jumper and jeans.

Laska5772 · 17/05/2018 11:09

cherries No its not you.. definately staid and aging.. you are much more trendy than that (and deserve to be)
Dave that is shocking has it been worn and returned do you think? They will probably want to see it so looks like Saturday is out for wearing it Sad

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 11:35

I sent a picture of the Kensington to my mum, and she's just sent back a photo of a photo of her at 24 wearing an almost identical dress, standing with me in my pram. Hers was cotton poplin, and mine is viscose, but otherwise very similar navy with sprigs of flowers.

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 12:48

I peesonally think the dress is too old for youSmile

DavetheCat2001 · 17/05/2018 12:57

Thanks all. Well I sent pics to Hush, and she emailed me back. I decide to call again as I am working at home today and don't have time for back and forth on email.

Apparently they are pretty confident that they should get another 8 in sometime today/tomorrow and will express deliver it to me if they can. I can then return the 2 dresses I already have. I said I couldn't afford to pay to order anymore as have paid 2 x £79 already, and she said no problem.

Tried to upload for you the damage, but think I have exceeded my photo allowance for the day..will see if I can upload at least one in a moment.

I think it's been damaged and returned and she was very apologetic android it should never have been sent out.

So I might still get my dress for Saturday, but not holding my breath...

Love the dress though Sad

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 13:07

laska keep the Greek widow dress, you wear it well
cherries I have that dress on back order, I think it suits you and would make a change on the looser styles
dave annoying but 8 is fab on you! Hope you get a hefty discount so you can keep

Right, I’m in a bit of a hurry, just opened my Hush parcel, just tried a couple of things on for your feedback, more to follow later as I need to leave house soon
Alana —Greek widow look— very comfortable just threw old necklace on to style quickly yeay or nay?
Printed relaxed trousers size 10 (not even bothering to try 12) yeay or nay?
Hmm

soy have you any photos to share?

Laska5772 · 17/05/2018 13:12

Oh just seen its my phone.love the trousers on you..

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 13:12

I thought I did? 🤔 can you not see them?

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 13:14

Good! Love trousers too Alana shoes my flabby upper arm bit but it’s so comfy tempted to keep
Just trying on v back neck dress it looks bloody awful (I just don’t suit Hush dresses people!) I’ll see if I’m brave enough to post pic for never

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 13:15

Shows not shoes (iPhone idiot)

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 13:15

I love you in both the dress and those trousers. Keep them both would be my vote.

Kensington dress - I think I'm maybe just too busty for it, it's making me feel a little shelf-like. Pretty dress though. And never, I'm smiling at the idea that something could be too old for me (said as I sashy out the door with my senior railcard in my hand).

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 13:21

Okay I don’t care I know it looks dreadful plus it’s so wrinkled maybe if I ironed it would look marginally better on me, shape is sooo wrong for me but nice fabric and lined. On me it’s completely shapeless (12) but may be fine on others...
I’m very brave posting all these unflattering pics me thinks but best to return like speedy Gonzales

Try again (won’t let me post another pic, the one where I look awful with the v neck dress on)
Thanks cherries and laska must dash
I know cherries what you mean about boobs, I’m sure that’s why I always look bad in Hush dresses 😢
Must dash (haven’t tried leopard t on yet)

For ref this is what I’m really wearing today, no Hush except for scarf and you can see how my top heavy frame really looks yet with the Hush v dress I’m just like a shapeless blob

Ellapaella · 17/05/2018 13:38

SoYo wow I love the trousers on you! Very nice! And I love that Alanis dress too - definitely a keeper for you imo, like it with the necklace it really does need accessorising to brighten up the whole look and you've nailed it.

Actually I am I the minority but I like the Kensington dress! It is a bit 'vintage' but that's why I like it. With a bright red lip and toe nails, some nice silver earrings and a stylish pair of sunglasses I think it would work well.

Ellapaella · 17/05/2018 14:09

I really want those trousers now SoYo but sadly I have no money left for clothes now this month 😢

Does anyone have the ribbed top? Seems dear at £65 but is it special? Thanks

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 14:49

Love the black dress and trousers soyo. Keep both. I adore the print on the trousers. I have the jacket on today. Picked up the leopard print ivy. In car so cant try on. Its really thin!

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 14:50

I think the v back dress is ok on you. Its not wow thpigh for the price.

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 14:50

though

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 14:55

Back home now, thanks Ella for the kind comments Smile
Maybe the print trousers will be in the sale next month!🤞
If yes then I will order the other printed version (turquoise) as they’re really light silky material.
Do size down though, I’m usually 12 in Hush jeans and ordered both 12 and 10 in the print trousers suspecting they’d be generous and the 10 are perfect (disclaimer I’m not a 10 but we all know Hush vanity sizing)
