Such a bad shopper- can’t decide

I’m a dreadful shopper. I saw a lovely coat last year in the shop, swivered, ordered it, returned it the then went back and bought it.

I bought this dress, returned it, ordered it via their concierge service and have the label to return it printed out. And yet…

Make my mind up for me lovely stylers…

Anyway it’s by the by as OP is returning it. Hopefully a bargain will be had in the sales! 🤞

The multicolour dress looks fab on you. Is it from Jigsaw ?

Nowisthemonthofmaying · 06/11/2022 13:17

I love that dress! It looks so good on you. The navy is nowhere near as nice. I would have guessed that the stripey one was quite expensive but the navy could be from anywhere.

I'd think the opposite - navy looks quite stylish and buttons save it from being too dull. Multi one looks like it could be from Primark, horrible cheap colour mix.

First dress is the Lucinda Chambers/Jigsaw colab? I think it will go in the sale. I prefer the second dress.

NiqueNique · 06/11/2022 15:18

It won’t look like it could have come from Primark in person though - it will be plainly obvious that it’s an good quality/expensive dress.

No, no, no! Keep it- it's so stylish and you've got the figure for it! The plain one looks terrible and does nothing for you.

EllaPaella · 06/11/2022 15:37

I love the striped one

Nolosomi · 06/11/2022 15:56

I love it too op.

canyon2000 · 06/11/2022 17:18

Etinoxaurus · 06/11/2022 17:55

It looks better on you than on the model! But I prefer the navy Smile

Hello! I bought both and have already worn them so many times I don’t mind that they are indeed in the sales at 50% off. I got them at 20% off as I’d ordered them via the concierge service and they’d had to cancel once, so it definitely wasn’t worth waiting.
Annoyingly this beauty is only 30% off

@Etinoxaurus I'm so glad you kept them both, and that you're happy! The colourful one is so so nice.

(Seasonal name change but was on the thread before)

Penguinsaregreat · 29/12/2022 18:08

Late to the thread but I also thought both dresses looked great.

Etinoxaurus · 06/07/2023 21:40

So just reviving this thread with some more marmite dresses! Apologies the room is no tidier! One is a real shocker that’s definitely going back…
Any thoughts? For a summer wedding and big anniversary party.

My mum had a similar one to th first in the 70s, I think it's fab!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 06/07/2023 21:44

Monsoon one is my favourite.

BansheeofInisherin · 06/07/2023 21:47

I don't like any, sorry! But I am quite hard to please. Are there any non-pink ones?:)

It’s just not quite right. I can see what they’re trying to do but it’s unfitted and looks frumpy. Shame I had high hopes for it. It’s definitely going back.

I need to try it on with someone else in the house! It’s possibly too small- couldn’t do it up but that might be my arthritic shoulders.

I don't like pink and red together, or the embroidery.

So did I - think I still have it somewhere!

BinkyBeaufort · 06/07/2023 21:55

The last one is the best.
