I think they'd take you so far but not to full term Smile

Yes I agree the floral melody isn't right but it's a beautiful dress. Colours are much more muted in RL than in the website. Same goes for the rainbow T.

I might Re order the melody in an XS but I think it's design has too much material in the top half and not quite enough in the bottom half.

I'll email them now re button holes. A couple of reviews say the same. Only one of mine is cut through.

If anybody is selling their green marissa, I would like to buy it! Please pm. Probably size 10 or small? Thank you.

neveradullmoment99 · 09/09/2018 16:07

There are a few people on here that have the marissa. Cherries is one but she is on holiday atm and not sure which size it is. Also Laska has one and Dave the cat also although not sure if she is selling it.
@Ginger. That's shocking that only one button hole is sewn through. Let me know how you get on.

neveradullmoment99 · 09/09/2018 16:08

I also got mine from JL @Ginger so I it was even more hassle!!!

Gin the Kensington looks really lovey, such a pretty dress not sure on the other one, maybe size down? Can’t really see the boots in the pic but tshirt looks good.

dontcallmelen · 09/09/2018 17:42

Went into M&S today, they have some pretty skater style plain & floral print dresses, very hush like in styling £29.50.
Leopard & zebra print coats, seem to be everywhere saw them in River Island, Zara, Next. Also in Zara they had a really soft & very strokeable faux fur jacket, had lapels & pretty buttons.
Ella saw a charcoal grey v neck long jumper with side splits in Next has a little bit of cashmere in it, was really soft & looks much better in RL £35.00

Laska5772 · 09/09/2018 19:43

Pm'd you Jackie Smile

GinandGingerBeer · 09/09/2018 19:44

Thanks Len. I'll definitely keep the kensington although I'm miffed at the button holes. I guess I'll have to sort the button holes out myself, DH will think I've lost my mind, no way on earth would he keep something £££ that was faulty, then again he gives zero hoots for clothes 

I'm fancying the black collarless blazer , I've had a feel of it in JL, and it's a nice heavy material. Think it will look good with black jeans and last years atlas shirt which I wore and wore. I've not been keen on the atlas print for A/W (was it cherries who tried it?) so hoping they release a new one for W18.

Oh BTW,who was is that spotted the black and grey star knit jumper it Tesco? Was it you @never? Snapped one up! Boom 💥 enabled! Smile it's lovely

Can post a pic 2 mo x

Laska5772 · 09/09/2018 19:49

I saw a red faux fur coat in our local M&S the other day but wasan 8 so couldn't try it on .. Tomorrow am off to mainland and ill be driving past a v large M&S , ill go in and investigate further

I have splashed tomato sauce on my placid blue T and it doesn't look like its coming out. also have noticed a hole, and another in my Green linen boyfriend jumper.. both in the same place , I'm wondering if its my seatbelt doing it .. the T shirt spill is annoying but actually not the end of the world as i have another new one in a smaller size bought in the sale.. ( the first was a L and grew a bit )

Laska5772 · 09/09/2018 20:04

Gin I like the kensington on you .. maybe its growing on me as I didnt before when never bought It.

I love the print of the melody dress but not sure of the weight of the floaty skirt on the dress. how does it feel?

Muted stripe T is lovely!

GinandGingerBeer · 09/09/2018 20:37

I might try it on again laska, and try it with some shoes or boots. Will post further pic tomorrow as I've used my allowance today!

enabledlurker · 10/09/2018 10:36

The kensington looks lovely on you Gin The colour is unusual compared to everything else around.Can I ask how it fits on the shoulders? I often have to size up in Hush because the shoulders are tight.

This website has some pretty jewelery dupes.

Laska5772 · 10/09/2018 10:46

Ha ha! Not spending any more didn't last long I have ordered this jumper in ochre to try . It's an 'investment piece' yes? I have a great knee length A-line black leather skirt that I can now get back into which I think would look fab with it

GinandGingerBeer · 10/09/2018 12:43

I would say it's true to size rather than true to hush sizing @enabledlurker
I have the Kensington in the summer version in a size 8 and the one I've just bought is slightly smaller and a size 10 🤷🏻‍♀️. Bonkers! That was just luck really as they only had a 10 left so I ordered it thinking it would be too big.
Shoulders wise, there was plenty of room, it's quite a roomy fit up top.

GinandGingerBeer · 10/09/2018 13:26

Oh @Laska you at naughty Wink
I've just had a little nosey round the LJ website now they've re branded, it's changed a bit. Lots of lovely stuff!
God I love autumn. I've been reading the leather trouser/jeggings thread but I'm 48 in two weeks. Too old? Too Suzy Quattro? Grin

ilovecherries · 10/09/2018 13:32

I want a leather skirt. I don’t really think I can carry off leggings, but a skirt, I lust for.

missfliss · 10/09/2018 17:25

I have an ankle boot addiction!

Ivy dress arrived today and I really like it!

I have various ankle boots in flat or heeled, in suede and leather and I think it works well with them all!

I'd love another Ivy. I'm not sure if the red one would suit me, so if anyone here has a size S that they want to sell let me know. Looking for forest green or deep red ideally Grin

Laska5772 · 10/09/2018 17:39

Missfliss do you think an X's would be ok for you? I bought a dark red one on eBay a couple of weeks ago ,bnwt seller said and it is absolutely fine. But it's really too small in the upper arms for me. Tbh the rest of it is the same size as my navy ivy. I'd sell it for exactly what I paid.£25 and pp.pm me if you do

Laska5772 · 10/09/2018 17:43

XS that is..
DH bought me the leather skirt a few years ago. And it's not been worn much . Was a bit too small then when I dieted last time I missed my 'size window' being the right size in the summer ( I'm determined not to yoyo weight again ) .it is lovely so really would like to be able to wear it!!

missfliss · 10/09/2018 17:44

@Laska5772 I'm interested but am a bit worried about the upper arm issue too. I'm a bit meaty there!! I would say the S fits me perfectly-

Laska5772 · 10/09/2018 17:49

I'll measure it (and me ) when I get home later and on you !

Laska5772 · 10/09/2018 17:49

PM you sorry stupid autocorrect on my phone..

missfliss · 10/09/2018 17:56

@Laska5772 thanks x

PrimalLass · 10/09/2018 17:58

Dipping back in because my BrandAlley stuff came today. Haven't tried it yet. I've lost interest in it really.

whiskyremorse · 10/09/2018 18:11

Brand Alley delivered to me today too. Really pleased with everything and got a couple of tops I loved and had tried on in JL but not enough to justify the full price!
