I’d say it depends on the item. I’m a 12 mainly, and can’t for example get into the Emmanuelle dress in a 16, but wear an XS in the Ivy dress and an S in the harems. What are you thinking about?

hendricksy · 31/10/2018 15:25

I found the emanuelle massive . I'm a good size 12/14 on the bottom although I have a small rib cage and big boobs ( hourglass ) and I sent back the 12 . I think if I order again I would maybe order an 8 . For reference I have the Yasmin dress which is a 14 .

PestoSurfissimos · 31/10/2018 17:52

I like the Meryl jumper but they’ve sold out of the pink one already Shock

ilovecherries · 31/10/2018 17:56

Well, cassie dress was an absolute no, not even going to post a picture. The waist was about three inches too high, and I looked like I was having the oldest pregnancy in the world. So that's going back. Here is the velvet puffa from monsoon. Nice matte velvet, deep navy, quite cosy, hood fits properly. As never says though, there is the arse-chill factor. And the weather...

That puffa is lovely cherries You look great in it (even the side view!!) ..

I think I like it better than the Hush one.. (and its a great price)..
Your legs are so slim now!

dontcallmelen · 31/10/2018 18:01

Cherries Parker looks really lovely on you, but yy arse freezing, my navy star jumper came from Debenhams ‘tis lovely so many thanks for the heads up on it.
Soy your haul sounds good.

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 18:02

Did you order the modal Cassie?.. I tried the jersey one a year or so ago and it looked terrible on me.. (due to front ballast again!) .

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 18:03

.. Soy has a new haul? I must read back !Grin

dontcallmelen · 31/10/2018 18:03

Yy Laska I was thinking the same although I think the 12 did seem a bit big on you.

dontcallmelen · 31/10/2018 18:04

😂 ballast.

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 18:07

it was a 14 Len the 12 on its way.. but I really think i may go for a Northface Thermoball jacket now.. (lots more ££ though).. They are really nice though and probably what I actually need for my real life as opposed to the girl-about-town fantasy life that I do not have

ilovecherries · 31/10/2018 18:09

Yes, the modal one. It's a MUCH nicer dress than the jersey, but my norks are using up all the front fabric, and hoisting the waist half way up my torso. Re the parka, I tried the hush one in JL today, and the monsoon was def a better fit, plus I really preferred the navy. That's a medium, Laska, the large was just handed back over the counter, it was huge.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/10/2018 18:17

Well I have ordered the puffa jacket @Laska but it has to be right and its a choie between that and the olive sabrina. I love the charcoal one. I have been wearing it loads. It is so lovely. Its a very elegant length. Also ordered the skirt with the animal print in green but I could only get it in a 14 so likely it will be big on the hips and ok on the waist. I may get away with it. If not, its going straight back. Ordered the star bag but its on a 2 day delay so will have to wait for that. All except the bag should come tomorrow.

neveradullmoment99 · 31/10/2018 18:19

Oh and yes to the lovely monsoon parka @cherries. Really really suits you. Love the colour. Unfortunately, navy is not something I have a lot of so it just wouldn't be a good buy for me.

dontcallmelen · 31/10/2018 18:41

Laska I was thinking about a north face coat as well as I have definitely don’t have a life about town lifestyle either.

SoyYo · 31/10/2018 19:10

Just back from Pilates class, feel better for all the stretching.
cherries love love you on the Monsoon puffa! And I’m not a puffa lover but honestly you’ve even tempted me must resist
Also to say it’s hard to believe you’re 60, in those photos you look over a decade younger. Wow! I need your youth secrets Wink

SoyYo · 31/10/2018 19:12

Nice haul never... sorry I’ve been a bit boring with mine, but I AM looking forward to new slippers Grin

neveradullmoment99 · 31/10/2018 19:24

Im not keeping it all. Really just wanted to order the bag and other things dropped into my basket but most of it will be going back.

SoyYo · 31/10/2018 19:31

Yes I know what you mean about things just “accidentally” dropping into the basket Grin
We’ll have fun tomorrow comparing notes! I really really wanted another coat but Blush at how many I own already so really sat on my hands and hope the Anya long coat (can’t decide what colour I prefer both are lovelly!) will be on the Nov or Dec sale...

GinandGingerBeer · 31/10/2018 19:48

I've not succumbed...... yet!
I did order the office buckle boots I posted up thread. My god they were the most uncomfortable footwear ever! And covered in black polish (as were my hands)
I took them back and was rushing like an idiot, went over on my ankle 😫
This was Saturday. It's gone down but foot is very bruised.
I feel I must deserve a treat?

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 19:55

I didnt get a code email at all .. just one about 'Pink for Autumn' .. I never get them even though I think I am signed up .. strange.

Anyway I have NOT succumbed. The only thing I really want is the cherry zebra scarf and its just too expensive even at 10% off ... and is mostly acrylic unlike the scarf you have ordered soy

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 19:58

I had several people today compliment me on the Oasis zebra skirt , that several of us bought from ebay ..

Was it you Gin who recommended it ? Or Huff? I cant remember

Laska5772 · 31/10/2018 19:58

Hope your foot gets better soon gin

GinandGingerBeer · 31/10/2018 20:07

How's your dm doing?

GinandGingerBeer · 31/10/2018 20:07
