primark sometimes does them, I know, but thats a bit hit and miss and I'd rather avoid a fruitless trip to town with 3 kids under 4.5

thoughts?

Am thinking about £10 each

maybe new look or peacocks?

All the major supermarkets seem to trot out a range of linenware about now.

Sainsburys have some in at the moment - dark brown, black, cream etc. Think they are about £15 each, though maybe someone else has a better idea than me. Agree about Primark - the sizing can be a bit odd sometimes!

I had some from primark once and thye grew as i wore them, about 2 sizes so they fell down. I love Primark and think alot of there stuff is great but they were rubbish. I think Next do them about £15 too and at least they have a good returns policy so if they are rubbish you can take them back

have you tried m & s i got some nice ones from there last year.

Fillyjonk · 10/03/2008 10:06

oooh sainsburys much more do-able, have biggish one with clothing 10 min walk away (no car atm)

they are post-baby wear so am buying in, i hope, unusually large size. but hopefilly only need them for a few months, iyswim.

next are online, aren't they?

m&s will try too, find their sizing comforting

i had some primark ones last year, they were £8 i think. they were fine, and will be perfect post-natal wear if they do them this year.

I got a pair in M&S on Saturday for £15 and they are very nice.

paddingtonbear1 · 10/03/2008 10:17

I got mine in M&S, very reasonable and good quality.
I like the ones in gap too but a bit more ££. Mind you the gap ones I bought years ago I'm still wearing!

SilentTerror · 10/03/2008 12:07

I agree re M & S. They seem better this year than last.
Next ok but go a bit shapeless imo and def grow!
