What is everyone’s verdict?

I only really like one or two things such as the knitted polo and the lilac dress (now sold out).

I am a curvy size 10-12 and don’t think this range would suit a curvier woman at all however. Such a shame!

I like the crochet dress, though I can get the same from Meshki for half the price. Nothing in there really made me go 'wow' though. I was hoping for some more interesting dresses and some knitwear, which she does well.

Too clingy

BusterGonad · 25/04/2024 14:31

I like the knitted/crocheted polo top in white and the black knitted dress, but nowhere near enough to buy it, even at half the price. Too plain, I like colours and patterns.

RichTea90 · 25/04/2024 15:20

Yeah I agree - nothing wows me.

I am tempted by the polo. I actually really like it just as a nice top.

I like the lapel-less blazer. Am tempted, but not sure about the colour with my skin tone

Lots of wispy slip dresses, no idea where most people would wear them, unless it's students going to their graduation balls.

It is very nice. I expect it'll sell out soon though.

Yes, I thought the same thing about the dresses. Maybe on holiday?!

I went for the black knit polo 🙌 even had £5 discount code on my mango account.

no idea what to wear it with though, I was thinking some nice flared jeans…

The tailoring didnt wow me and that's where I thought it would be strong. Love the silky dresses though, but overpriced for Mango quality

Moonshine5 · 25/04/2024 16:10

I wouldn't buy from a collection that doesn't cater for women size 14 or above.
Never. Nothing in that collection is worth being size-ist.

I think it will go with most things. It is very cute.

But will it be Mango quality or will it be slightly more high end given the price tag?

I do see your point. I’m not happy with how sizeist it is. There is no need.

Even Zara I feel is similar. I’m curvy but I sometimes wear size L or XL and I’m a 10-12!!

But at least you can buy larger sizes from Zara whatever the label says.
VB Label does not have the choice and what does that mean? Beauty only comes in size 0-12? No way am I buying anything from that VB range. What are we teaching our children? Money talks so spend yours with thought.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 25/04/2024 18:20

I was tempted by the trench coat although I’m short so I’d imagine it will be touching the floor.

I’ve seen it in the flesh, most of it looks a bit cheap. The finish on the tailoring isn’t that great and you can’t wear a bra with most of the dresses and tops.
The black knitted dress, the oversized bags (not the satin mini one) and the flat sandals are very nice though.

I cannot see this black knitted dress that everyone is referring to?

RichTea90 · 25/04/2024 19:34

Ohh this one. Upon first glance, it looks like a jersey material. That is flattering isn’t it.

thanks for posting a link x

That’s a shame.
ive ordered the knitted polo so we’ll see how that looks once it arrives! I’ll just wear a little cami or black bandeau top under it!

No probs, the dress is flattering. The polo top was nice too.

Denou · 25/04/2024 20:10

It’s expensive. I’m wondering if Mango actually expect it to sell well or if it is more just general marketing for the brand/to drive website traffic.

Cliffordthebigreddog · 25/04/2024 20:32

I just bought the black crochet polo top, will look great with jeans or black flared trousers as on the model. Hope the quality is good!

I found a 10% discount code online that worked 5STUDENTSS so got it for £72 instead of £80
