Calling Hushista's over here..., crabs, lobsters, kimonos and all things Summer

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone.. new thread.. god knows what number we're on to now?

What an odd response. I got mine very quickly - bought my first hush item in August, made a friend straight after the Xmas sale.

Right - the Monaco trousers. Is this how they are meant to look or are they too short for one thing, too long for another?

Gorgeous pendant, fuzzy, just beautiful. And enjoy Turkey, gin, I am sure you look fantastic.

I like them on you cherries length is good I reckon and I really like the colour of yours . Are they a 12? ( I may order some of this year's offering .. )

Ah well, it was worth a try 😉

Keeping the size 8 Portobello top and sending back the 10. It's a very pretty top. Terrified of washing it tho. It looks like it might shrink?
Sending back the Bryce culottes and Miriam dress also as I'm not sure how much I'd wear it. Had to think long and hard about that as I really like it.

So 10% off ends this weekend I believe from yesterday's email. I think I'll order the maxi skirt in the same black and pink fabric of Never's jumpsuit. Then I'm done.
What are you all thinking of getting before the discount ends? Or are you all shopped out? 🤣

Yes, they are a 12, laska.

I’ve not bought much at all this season, and nothing is shouting ‘buy me’, which is good! I have the seren jumper to make a decision on - I meant to try it today but I put perfume on after my shower, so had better leave it till tonight now. I also have the Susanna dress here. Bought it in red early in the season, but didn’t think it was worth it, plus it wasn’t my red. I re-ordered in the black with the discount, but again, haven’t tried yet.

I wore the Seren to work yesterday, cherries it does need a cami under it I think ( I got a cheapie orange one from George) . How are the boobs doing? You look great in that black T

I reckon the hush bods are holding hands round a table, conjuring up answers from the spirit world, doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason for the very strange way they supposedly allocate ‘friends’

Anyone know what the sizing is like with Other Stories they have a couple of nice dresses, i like this one as it’s cotton but not sure it might be a bit young for me?

They are starting to change almost daily now, laska. Still a bit lopsided and solid feeling but I don’t think that’s unusual given the size of the reduction. The inverted nipple on the right is slowly returning to normal as the swelling subsides. I’m still in compression bras, simply because they are so comfortable and lightweight, but I’m measuring a 32FF, which sounds big but doesn’t look too bad on my frame. And certainly smaller than a K. Also, they are lifted into the right position, which helps. I’m still hoping I will end up a bit smaller as it's mainly the width of the breast (because of the swelling), rather than projection that is giving me that size. But if it doesn’t, I’m content. I do have a ridge/dent running vertically down one breast. Surgeon says it’s a line of internal stutures from the lift. It could be fixed, under ‘guarantee’ but I’m not having any more non essential surgery and my shape with clothes is fine. It’s taken me a while to feel myself again, but I’m so pleased I had it done

Len other stories are fairly true to size. You shouldn't really need to size up. That's a lovely dress.
@Huffthepuff stuff 'em 😡 I'm not a friend either, which is actually probably quite a good thing as I'm too tight to pay for delivery so it stops me buying too much. Did your TopShop dress arrive yet? Mines here and I'm not sure. It's a bit loose around the chest and I'm not sure if it's really 'me'.
I've consoled myself by digging out all my old dresses and reminding myself I have a few I really like and haven't work for years. Especially this blue Monsoon dress which was a charity shop buy - I've never actually worn it so it's one for this summer. Trying on dresses this morning has proven to me that the most versatile price of clothing is in fact a denim jacket. They literally go with everything summery.

It looks lovely on you Ella! I do think you're doing all the work tho if you know what I mean. It's not the dress so much. You look fantastic in everything!
I picked up my Topshop dress and returned immediately. The cotton was really thin and it had huge slits up the sides 😟
Monsoon dress is really pretty and great fit. Will be really useful in the hot weather 👍looks a nice fabric too

@Len I love that dress! Would really suit your petite frame

@cherries glad you’re feeling brighter today, the Monaco’s a bit cropped look great

@gin I literally had to stop myself from looking at more goodies on the hundredstar site. So many beautiful prints

@Huff stuff Hush! I agree with @laska they will lose customers with their CS inflexibility and quality being far more hit and miss these days. Sorry you’re returning the Miriam dress, you did look lovely in it but maybe you can pick again at sale time vastly reduced 👍

@ella can’t see your pics! I’m in the middle of work calls but got alert my jigsaw dress will be delivered today...

Yy I can’t see pic either Ella

Me neither, ella

len, I find OS fitted clothes TTS - I take a 12 in their dresses, pretty much that everywhere. Their ‘oversized’ clothes though,are VERY oversize.

Thanks everyone one, I might take a chance & have a ‘see’
Just got these from next, lovely n comfy they have a nice padded footbed, weird wont let me post pics will try again in a bit

My river island trousers came, but have a poorly dgd here at the moment so no chance to try on, hopefully later, the next non picture are sandals.

Ooh see the pics now Ella the Topshop dress does look a bit big on the chest area, the blue one is fab beautiful colour.

Just catching up!

@fuzzy nice to hear from you, hope you and dh are doing ok and I love that pendant!

@melen I've bought a couple of dresses from Stories in previous years, think they come up a bit big if I remember rightly. Hope dgd is ok, wish her better soon.

@ella I love the blue dress, it looks perfect on you.

I've bought the Portobello and Sandrine tops from Hush but haven't had a chance to try on yet.

See your pictures now. The blue one really suits you, lovely dress. The top shop one - I think you are flattering it, rather than it flattering you. It’s a nice dress, but not nearly as lovely as the blue.

The sandals from next.

Pretty sandals @Len! Very boho and summery are they comfy?

@ella now I see your pics, agree with above posts you flatter the topshop but it’s too big. The blue is Gorgeous!!!

Boo my jigsaw is due to be delivered tomorrow not today...something to look Fw to though!
Sorry dgd is poorly @len time for cuddles...

You did say they were comfy! Great!
I’m speed reading between work calls 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lovely sandals @dontcallmelen - Next are doing some great footwear this season. I've just been in with DC after returning TopShop dress - went in to buy them some new summer raincoats but got talked in to also buying them several new t shirts as well 🤦‍♀️
Hope DGD is better soon.
