suitable for autumn and very flattering then this is your baby.

It DOES look like that on!

I bought an m&s cardigan very similar to LaT's one in that link last year and it has been fantastique, total wardrobe staple. Bit shorter though.

May well have to buy the new one too for when the old one falls apart, which it will eventually as I wear it A LOT.

I found it! bet it's sold out. I can go to Marble Arch tomorrow though.

LaTrucha · 24/09/2008 20:18

You'd want that blouse loose, though cod. Wouldn't you?

Swedes, is it this?

Swedes · 24/09/2008 20:32

No - that's the same one someone linked to before. It aint there I tell ya. I've put in the product code and everything. We are just so ahead of the rest of the country here in Herts.

Swedes · 24/09/2008 20:32

It should reach the shires in another few months.

Bottoms. Have ordered the original item the OP linked online having looked everywhere at M&S Pantheon (that's oxford st darlinks, for those outside our great capital) and it wasn't to be found. I chickened out and have ordered a 12 even though I am a 12-14 and now I'm thinking it will be too big. Also, my boobs, once glorious 36F's are now sad, deflated 34 D's.

I also accidentally tripped over and orderd the Limited Collection wide legged formal trousers in navy. Great, am now down by another £60 thanks to MN.

have ordered the size 12
This better be good
I knew I shouldn't have come back to MN, you lot make me want to shop!

I tried the 12 today (am a 12/14) - plenty big enough, didn't cling over the beergut, but looked a bit mahoosive and bolsterish on my boobs (36D). Didn't like the material much either.

Gotthis in a 14 though.

sugarplumfairy · 26/09/2008 10:57

I ordered this last weekend, looks good on, makes me look slim, though am size 8 in M&S, but I think the material looks cheap.

Mine not in yet - Cod, I am already deflated as am now utterly convinced I have it in too big a size and will look like a cheapo big boobed amorphous blob.

you like that tartan top yet you criticised my anna sui dress?

Sycamoretree · 26/09/2008 20:30

I hearted your Anna Sui dress, but ye gads gal, you are aware it it no longer summer, and that we are likely to bypass Autumn and dive headlong into winter? I hope it looks good with some thick woolly tights

Cod - I am eschewing ripple highlighting at all costs, so perhaps all is well with my size 12 after all.

LetThemEatCake · 26/09/2008 20:48

good point Sycamore but I don't spend winters in the UK, thank god ... and the NaP site shows it with cardi and tights and boots and whatnot ... it TRANSCENDS seasons goddamit!!

Change for smaller size. It showeth not the ripples.

Surely I should avoid accentuating my bingo wings though??

LaTrucha · 27/09/2008 10:55

Covers them completely.
