Just that really....I always find the vast majority of clothes totally uninspiring or just blatantly vile

I always find it's the fabrics - nasty.

I own a lot of their jeans, the long sleeve jersey basics, shirts and v neck and round neck thin jumpers. I cannot stand their attempt at being on trend or the ghastly colours and prints.

Headinabook85 · 15/03/2019 15:39

Yes exactly. The basics are fine and fit the bill as they do fit the taller lady. It's just the terrible attempts at prints and fashion led items.

They really are missing a trick, have been for years I feel....

Awful.
Expensive and cheap fabrics.

The fabrics are awful, it's like Dorothy Perkins but with the decimal point moved.

I’ve often said that when the LTS buyers go out and look at clothes they put them into the ‘yes please that’ll be great’ pile and the ‘yuck, no thanks pile’. And without fail they order the wrong pile.

Their tailoring is just really odd shapes. They persist with the huge shiny shirts a la Pat Butcher.

I have a lovely cotton jersey maxi dress from there a few years ago that I would love to replace, but it’s all horrible man-made fabrics.

I also have jeans, tshirts and a couple of jumpers but have had nothing exciting for years.

I haven’t bought anything from them for ages. As a pp said, the shapes are weird. And the styles are terribly unstylish.

Always. There are a few basics that end up ok but otherwise generally dire. Who buys this stuff?

CheeseRolls · 15/03/2019 22:25

I've has a few bits over the years. Mostly the basics. I've ordered dresses and sent them back as they are cut so oddly.

Best item was a winter maxi coat reduced considerably on the sale. I love it still. So long and warm.

DramaAlpaca · 15/03/2019 22:27

As others have said, the basics are OK but the rest is mostly awful.

I love my jeans but this season is just black trousers and boring everything else. I click through every email offering x% off but find nothing I like again.
