I find New Look sizing big as well actually.
Hmmm the website takes paypal do I don't I???

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/03/2008 21:21

got a dress very similar to this last summer from tesco for a tenner, actually dp picked it up when I sent him out for bread.

Is lovely but is linen, so looks all smart until I sit down, then I may as well be wearing sacking. Also, the waist is in an odd place (or more truthfully, my waist is in an odd place)

The new look one's nice cod, but can't stand peter pan collars.

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/03/2008 21:22

See now cod in my visual picture of you I never imagined long hair for some reason

margoandjerry · 12/03/2008 21:32

I've been looking at this too but it's too expensive. Waiting for a sale.

harpsichordcarrier · 12/03/2008 21:35

wow, nice frock

GetOrfMoiLand · 12/03/2008 21:35

bloody hell that's nice m&j. Will be delving in that site. Looks nice and long as well, ideal because I am v tall

Find I wear casual shirt dresses layered up over slim jeans and a vest, just one button done up and belted (until my mum catches sight and wonders why I am wearing trousers and a dress)

Ineedacleaner · 12/03/2008 21:36

Still undecided about the New look one, I am a bit lumpy around the middle and that worries me. Only thing stopping me from popping it in a shopping basket

I tried the one on that I linked to, whilst out today. Lets just say, a black bag would have looked better.

I did buy a jacket though.

CrackerOfNuts · 13/03/2008 14:24

I don't find new look sizing big. Had to have 14 in the jacket I got today, and usually have a 12.

Tried shorts on in Bay, 10 a weeny bit tight, but 12 was so big they actually fell down. It's like they have jumped up two sizes not one.

newgirl · 14/03/2008 18:27

i had a look at this in new look this morning and have bought one in a 12 - it is too short to wear on its own for me (im 5-8) but i think it looks good over jeans with a black cardi

and ten quid thanks ladeez

i think i will be wearing it now really - and perhaps in the evenings in the summer - im thinking of it more like a long top rather than a dress - not a lot of bikini weather here

turquoise · 15/03/2008 13:46

Quite like this, though a bit about cheesecloth.

My dress arrived today and I'm not sure tbh. Need to try it on again tomorrow and see what dp thinks. It fits ok but it is very summery in fabric weight so I think it might work better as a holiday dress in the minty green rather than an everyday dress in the black iyswim.

Also got this which is really thin, poor quality and will be going back.

this ditto but hey, what did I expect for a fiver?

Keeping this

This is also going back as it's too big and the zip sticks out.

Also got another top which is lovely but too small on the shoulders. Can't find it on the website anymore.

lou33 · 15/03/2008 20:53

oh i like cheesecloth, but not that dress, sorry
