I like the idea behind the clothes and some of the fabric combinations are clever ....I've been tempted by that same dress hoxtonchick.... ...but I genuinely can't decide whether T & N clothes are really gorgeous or whether it's really over-priced for what it is and made by someone with seriously limited sewing skills ....

  • your dd will (obviously!! ) look gorgeous in her frock hoxtonc ... but it's just if you look at the over-large neck-lines, the reliance on elastic and the very basic shapes of the whole range... I begin to wonder ...

I'd be v. interested to know what Mrs Badger thinks?

no, no ctgh, i got the frock for me! the black one (told you it was a crap picture). i think their stuff is excellently priced in the sale. they are going for the innocent look i guess. some of the girls' stuff is sweet but a bit too cutesy.

Hc - how long is the dress? I am a 14 but scared it would make me look pregnant.
