..and paypal will reimburse you too through buyer protection.

Yes, I always pay be pp if it’s an option, so I have that up my sleeve if there is a difficulty. I am convinced it went in the bin :(.

Well if you think it did, don't say it! Otherwise they may try and wriggle out of it [ I doubt they will but you don't want to lessen your case]

Strange if it did cause how on earth would you know it was there if they didn't put a card through saying it was? Weird.

Maybe the postie ditched it. That happens. They cba to post it.

ooh driving to Italy sounds amazing never

My kids are struggling to sleep in this heat too...as am I...so muggy here in London this evening.

I ordered this dress from H&M as it looks like it might be quite nice to wear on my hols next month but also generally at the moment as it's so damned hot!

Love H&M for cotton dresses. So cheap and they wash and last well.

That's lovely Dave
With your figure, you will look great in it

How is H&M with delivery? and returns? I am always tempted and then I cba incase I have to return and they are slow!

Evening! Re my new summer purchases,
I sent the white portobello back. It's a lovely dress but it does nothing for me. The body of it is very see through and my nude bra could clearly be seen.
The Kensington shirt dress (turquoise star print) arrived separately yesterday and tbh, I wasn't particularly excited about opening it and left it till now.
I LOVE it. It's just gorgeous, swishy, beautiful colour and hangs just right. A definite keeper.
Was it you @ilovecherries Who fancied it?
I got an 8 and it's fairly roomy on top. (32E)
I'd say I'm an 10 in other shops. But I think you ordered one before in a different print.

I promise to post pics, going on holiday tomorrow with my girlfriends for 5 days. Taking lots of hush!

BTW had anyone ordered one of those hareem jumpsuits from the long thread which is going atm?
I don't mind if you all think they're hideous but mine arrived yesterday and I love it!
Wore it to the hairdressers and she said I looked fab and made me help her order one from her phone while my colour was on!

Thanks never. From memory I think they are pretty good on delivery, and I've never had to return anything so not sure on that count.

They do a great range of stuff though and it's very reasonably priced and good quality in my experience.

Gin I'd love to see a pic of the Kensington dress!

@GinandGingerBeer I have seen the jumpsuits on that thread.. tbh I'm not a fan sorry (hides) but I'm sure it'll be cool and comfortable if nothing else! Would love to see a pic of the Kensington dress, it's gorgeous! If I had the funds I'd be buying it myself.

Yes, it was me, and I think Soy got it as well. I had the navy in a 12, but it somehow looked a bit dowdy and staid on me - and then my mum showed me a picture of my gran wearing an almost identical dress (without the aystemetric hem), when I was in my pram and it put me right off! But I am tempted to try it in a different colour.

Its a beautiful print on the Kensington but the dress shape is just not for me. I am not keen on the style or the length but I would love to see them on a real person as I am sure it looks far better in real life.

Whenever I go on the H&M site I end up with about 17 dresses in my basket and find it very hard to narrow it down . I find them great with deliveries and as I have a branch 10 mins away I bring back anything I want refunded rather than send them back by post.

My Piper dress and star pendant have shipped. Can't wait to get the dress and hoping it suits. I am still melting in the heat here in Dublin and heading to even hotter Marbella at the end of the month.
Today I wore a gorgeous simple jersey dress from Boden, I have it in black and have already ordered another in a blue print. Easy to throw on and looks smart enough for an evening out. I have just come home from An Evening With David Sedaris at out national concert hall. One of the funniest authors around, IMO, although maybe an acquired taste for many. Anyway I am all laughed out and need to go cool down.

I've worn the black portabello twice and loved it each time so I bought the white one too. I fully expect to return it because I have to be sensible and remember we get horrible wet and cold weather for most of the year and I don't need more summer dresses. It dropped to a cloudy 21 degrees two days ago and I pulled on a wool jumper. I am a cold creature!

I also re-ordered the Kempton skirt in a bigger size. Originally I ordered the ten but it looked bunched up. When I tried it on initially, I thought it was not practical, then tried it with a very simple black vest top and I loved it! Does anyone else have it? I think it will be nice with a dark denim jacket too and probably a lot more practical than the white portobello.

That is it then. I am broke.

My blue Kensington dress arrived this morning and is SO beautiful. Turns out that I do suit turquoise after all!

However, the top half is way too big on me so I will be returning it later today. Which is potentially good news for any size 16s who are currently gutted about them selling out because one is about to make its way back to Hush! Fingers crossed that a few 14s are being returned this week too! :)

Glad to hear that they've apparently improved their returns and refund system - I don't think I can handle the suspense of another month long wait to get my money back!

I’ve come home muttering ‘sour-faced bitch’ to myself but actually nearly crying and wondering if there is truth in this comment. Trying so hard to build my confidence around clothes but wondering if I got this all wrong. Please tell me!

Walking dog, still warm here, we walked through park and along beach, with a few hundred yards along the high street to get back into park on way home. On the high street part I met this woman who I used to be friends with, mainly as our DDs went through a spell of being BFF for a few years about 15 years ago. Anyway, I’ve got on navy Boden chino shorts (4inch leg), Hush burgundy lighting bolt tee and Nike trainers. I’m also wearing hair so I really didn’t think I looked out there at all. Her first comment was ‘oh, like the tee, presume it’s pinched from DD?’, then a few minutes later when I commented on the weather she agreed that it was boiling and ‘I wish I had the nerve to wear shorts. I gave them up years ago though, just couldn’t carry them off once I was past 35’. This woman is at least 10 years younger than me, and has been a size 10 all the time I’ve known her. I really felt she was telling me I was too fat and too old to be out dressed like that. I know the whole ‘wear what you want’ thing, but I really don’t want to look ridiculous either. Is this an outfit for the garden only?

She also said (bitch!) ‘I think you look a bit slimmer - have you managed to lose a few pounds’. Only 5 bloody stone. A few pounds indeed!

@ilovecherries please don’t let that nasty so n so spoil your lovely outfit for you, no one is ever too old to wear what makes them happy.
I am in my late fifties & wear all sorts, I even dare to buy stuff from top shop & river island, it’s about buying what suits your shape your style & what makes you feel good, I actually feel a bit sorry for her to be that negative & judgemental but be awfully hard work.
Carry on with your lovely clothes, & pay no mind💐

Cherries she sounds like a right old wagon and I bet she is mad jealous to boot. I have seen your photos and you look pretty amazing. Hold your head high and rock the clothes. (and yes at 48 I would wear shorts and a T to go for a walk)

I am beginning to learn to let go of comments and also self-judgement. It is hard but is is doable.

@ilovecherries, definitely not a outfit just for the garden, please don’t let this awful person dent your confidence, I know it’s hard to shrug off negative comments especially when you are still getting used to your new body shape & how you view yourself & trying to adjust to a different way of dressing, she was just nasty & probably knew though comments would upset you.

Thanks. :). I’m 60, btw (still can’t really believe that myself!)

Phone husband for a snivell about it, and he reminded me she’s always been like that. The last time I met her, the two DDs were just on the point of going to uni and she told me I was being ‘terribly stoical and brave’ about my DD going to a ‘glass and concrete’ university.

Ilove Firstly of course you are not took old to wear shorts. That is simply a ridiculous statement. I wonder if this woman says things without thinking. I made a similar comment myself a few weeks ago to another woman in the playground. She was wearing shorts and without thinking I said I wish I could wear shorts but I don’t have the legs for them. I should add here that I have a hang up about my legs due to a comment my BIL said twenty years ago where he literallylaughed out loud at my legs and my sister’s legs! !She got flustered and said ‘oh I probably don’t either’.

When I got home, I thought wow she has the right attitude and I searched out some old shorts and I have been living in them for the past two weeks! Out of the blue it dawned on me how rude I had sounded to the other woman and I’m mortified now ecen thinking about it.

Asgor the uni comment, and that you have lost a few pounds, they are just said to ‘put you in your place’. She is probably like that to everyone, and the cause is usually personal insecurity or she simply isn’t that nice a person x

eh? You look fab!!!! She is jealous of you. Her last comment about losing a few pounds speaks volumes. I think your outfit sounds great. She is jealous that you have lost weight and feel confident. Don't let her chip away at it. I know its hard believe me.
I am 50 and have been wearing my long hush boyfriend shorts, short hush boyfriend shorts constantly for weeks. I have met people in the supermarket that I know, walked around the town centre in them and no one has batted an eyelash.
