I know you lot will be honest after poor littlelapins savaging.

Is the new jersey wrap dress a stylish garment that will be useful at work, or is it as I suspect slightly too long with an unpleasant pattern and dodgy because its still left in the sale in all sizes and colours.

Have recently lost weight preen preen, and am in between sizes 14 and 12.

Oh bum, can't do links, its the new jersey wrap dress in the funny pattern.

I really quite like both of them!!

I got some nice trousers too.

i was a boden virgin before this, mumsnet owes me £60!

lulumama · 13/07/2008 15:08

the last few things i ordered i sent back i was disappointed in the quality, so am giving it a whirl again, if this skirt is not up to scratch then i give up

also like that peony dress

avenanap · 13/07/2008 15:11

Thankyou ladies . I had an email on Friday to say they had sent it out so I'm hoping it's here tomorrow, I also hope it fits and I also hope it looks good! I shall have to wait and see.

I hope everyone elses is OK.

Caz10 · 13/07/2008 15:15

i got the dress and 2 pairs of trousers, one pair is going straight back as really crappy quality for the (original) price. others are nice, lined etc

NorkyButNice · 13/07/2008 15:20

Well I bought the dress that everyone else seems to hate and I like it! It's fits well, hugs the curves, so not tenty at all.

At least I'm not going to bump into anyone else wearing it

Caz10 · 13/07/2008 15:23

ahhh where do you stay NBN, you might meet me wearing mine!! i liked it too! not tenty at all, in fact it's almost a watch-what-pants-you-wear scenario..

The zip on my dress doesn't unzip because the stitching's too close to the zip . I can get it over my head though and can't be bothered to send it back.

rookiemater · 14/07/2008 15:48

I didn't order the dress in the end.Am now thinking maybe should.....
Joules sale has started btw. Nothing I like but may get some nice things for DS.
