Laska, I'd like to dye my Amies dark grey I think - can I ask which dye you used?

Laska5772 · 31/08/2018 08:24

skimble though i'm not sure if its advisable to use machine dye if you have a washer/drier . Cherries had a bad experience with dye ruining other fabrics after. I have never had a problem but have just a washer . I also run an empty cycle after dyeing. you can get hand dye though in the same colours.

Remember that the thread will not dye! (as its most likely to v be polyester which doesnt dye) so it doing something with a light thread it will show up on finished article..

Laska5772 · 31/08/2018 08:33

I couldnt find a dark grey , so used Dylon Smoke, it looks fine but its a mid-grey..d have liked charcoal .. if you dye lots of stuff you get paler colours so if you were adventurous you could do a black and add in more fabric then they recommend - something like a couple of pairs of of already black jeans and your Amies . Then your Amies will come out lighter.. but it would be an experiment with unknown results - you may just get all-over black instead. ( I dont mind experiments but you might)

Laska5772 · 31/08/2018 08:39

Dave have you considered the Tansy dress instead? Ok not red but similar shape.. it does look short though , and is £10 more.. I like the green best

However as( I said) I really like the Raven on you.. ( I also like the green version, but I have green ivy dress..)

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 09:04

The tansy dress is nice. Its also short but i wore mine with leggings. I got fed up with it and ended up ebaying it but it was a lovely heavy weight material and A- line snd quite swishy. I often wore it with the dm boots you have and leggings or with ankle boots. Its a nice dress. I would consider it again but the green is too similarvto the one i had and the blue im not sure about.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 09:07

I know what it is with the tansy - the blue is the print that i had and the green is the colour i had!! I had a green animal print tansy. Thats why i havent ordered. I love the print on the green one. Pity it isnt on the blue!

yy the Pilates, I have cervical spondylosis which has badly affected my neck/arm/hip, I have been so drugged up over the last few months as the pain meds have had to be racked up, so recently started a class & is definitely helping.

Theonlyoneiknow · 31/08/2018 09:28

WOW this thread moves sooooo fast ! I can't keep up :(

Hope everyone is well!

I wore my turquoise Kensington dress to work yesterday and my boss asked me where my pointy hat and wand were! Shock

Place-marking to come back later and catch up. Have managed to resist the 10% code so far (encouraged by the fact I saw I placed 26 orders with Hush since I started shopping with them - lots has gone back but that made me think!)

Does anyone know when the 10% code expires? Thanks Blush

Discount ends 2/9.

Skimbleskanks · 31/08/2018 09:49

@Laska5772 thanks I have two pairs of stripey amies as well so I could do a bundle, not massively keen on the stripes. Thank you!

FannyAdmin · 31/08/2018 09:49

Thanks Laska.

AnyFucker · 31/08/2018 09:57

Hush stuff doesn't always get snapped up Sad

I put some Amie joggers on Marketplace for 20 quid and got zero interest

DavetheCat2001 · 31/08/2018 10:25

Laska I like both the Tansy and Ivy dresses...in fact the Ivy even more I think..and it has pockets (that the Raven doesn't have).

hmmmmmm......

Well my order arrived and...
The andy hitch skirt is quite generous. It has a very interesting hemline. Very jagged and has a bit of 'witch' about it but not sure if it is just too witchy for me. Not sure if I should size down on it. Its quite big on the waist but sits lower and it comfy on bloating days. I may re-order the 10.
The red flock star tee is nice. I don't love it so im returning it.
The dress with the cosmic print in green - halley dress. I dislike the colour greatly. Its dull dull dull dull. Sadly you can hardly see the print. Size wise its weird on the shoulders and true to size everywhere else. Be aware that I checked it and it has a seam like a puff on it. Horrible. I cant imagine who it would suit and it doesn't show on the model. The shoulders look way too big on me and it makes the dress look too big on me.
My wild card is the cord dungarees. They are truly lovely. I bought the 10 and they fit perfectly. They also have stretch so they are super comfy. I think I will keep them but they are £££ so will mull It over as I don't wear dungarees that much and I already have the black denim ones that I have only worn the once but I do love them.
The star and moon necklace you have to buy. Its gorgeous.
I have pictures so will post when I get a chance.

They had the striped ones for £15 in their sale and they have 10% off or if you have a mention me £10 it would bring the price down for the plain ones. They also had them in the sale on brand alley. You may get more for them later. Maybe not the best time to sell for now.

Theonlyoneiknow · 31/08/2018 10:52

I LOVE those boots @PorpoisefullyObtuse where are they from please?

Ellapaella · 31/08/2018 11:03

@Theonlyoneiknow I'd have been tempted to wink and do a witchy type cackle and then tell your boss to watch out and be nice or they never know what might happen 
@neveradullmoment99 the skirt is really lovely. Like the dungarees on you, agree the green dress is a bit 'meh'.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 11:12

The dungarees are much nicer in RL. Hard to get a good picture of them esp with my smudgy mirror. The skirt is also hard to see the hemline! Its really thin material and I am returning it although I do like it, I feel its just too big really.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 11:13

I may re-order the skirt in a 10 at some point but probably wait until next pay day.

dontcallmelen · 31/08/2018 11:17

Really like the dungarees, think the skirt looks a bit big would hang better in the smaller size & agree the dress is a bit ‘meh’ for the money.

Theonlyoneiknow · 31/08/2018 11:54

Lol here is what I looked like (in gym excuse lighting). Am I a wizard?! 😅

Just received the new poetry brochure, has some really nice slouchy tops, some it though is eye watering expensive.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 12:07

The only one I know I don't get it. The dress looks lovely on you and nothing like a wizard!!! I think your boss must have been referring to the print with the stars? I think it looks gorgeous on you.
