Fab chocolate brown linen pinafore smock thing in Dot Perkins for a tenner

[FrannyandZooey]

very nice indeed IMO

They also have orange

That's lovely ... I have one very similar. It would look lovely with a pair of orange pumps ...

Seriously franny, I do have one similar ... and when it gets warm here I will go get me some orange pumps ... if they have them in aus ...

oh thats really nice.

im going to buy it.

thanks f&Z- its cheap isnt it?

They had loads in my local one

I was standing there thinking "well what is wrong with it that I haven't noticed, then?"

I don't know how you like to wear these smocky things tiredemma but I found I needed TWO sizes smaller than I usually get, for this. They really come up large and IMO look stupid on me flapping around like that

possibly that is why they did not sell?

I notice they are out of stock in 6, 8 and 10 online

but may have more in the stores

plus the orange ones

what would you wear it with franny? I don't think I would be able to wear it, do you?

HC Noooooooooooooo

you have bazoomas

I was going to wear it with little t-shirt underneath and the ubiqitous cut off trousers

erm you look very tactile

I think I missed a lot of MN stuff this week

HC can you come on my orange shoe thread? I am going out tomorrow night and want something new

I am tempted

will it go over a 6m bump?

Oh yes for sure, very voluminous

I read that as 6 metre bump
Mrs B btw you were going to emal me and tell how to make a princess jasmine headdress thingy....

Don't forget any students out there get 15% off at the moment too!

ah damn, so I was

you cut this shape out of the cardboard (about 30cm long and the middle bit about an inch high)

you get a bit of elastic and either staple each end to each end of the card or use a needle and thread it through and knot it to make a circlet that fits round dd's head under her hair at the back - almost like an alice band but the tall bit should be proud not flat to her head.

you cover it in gold foil

you glue a wine gum / chairty shop brooch to the middle

How did you do in the sari shop?

"pinafore smock "

SO SO WONRG

do you WANT to look liek holly hobbie?

Does it not suit big boobies then? Aww, i want one.

no

and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww at boobies

Its awful

"do you WANT to look liek holly hobbie?"

yes

it works for me, don't knock it

tried it on wya home

tis obv designed for the slim and sylphlike and looked awful straining over bump

gah

Oh sorry MrsB

it wouldn't work in a larger size?
