and I want to know whether you like it but please don't say anything about the price, not if you are being negative that is!

i will say anything you like if you buy me those boots i linked to on the shopstyle thread

Carmenere · 24/09/2008 22:56

I like it, I wouldn't wear it but if you are slender and tall, or even just slender, it will look great.

gladly lou, but they are out of stock!!

I hope it will look good! Am tall, not big exactly but not slender particularly (see profile) but I think it will suit my colouring?

Looked at dress

Thought: would suit tall, slim, dark-haired (Carla in Corrie?)

Looked on your profile and you fit the bill!!

drowninginlaundry · 25/09/2008 06:56

I love the dress, buy it with good conscience

and - how often does this happen on MN? - I had a nosey on your profile, secretly hoping that you were a 25-stone minger with hairy warts on your face, but no, anyway, shock of a lifetime
we did preg yoga together in 2006,
I have a son called Milo and a crazy labrador... ring a bell?

get in touch! laundryfairy at yahoo . co . uk

still loving the Ignes bag by the way.... goes very well with muddy wellies here in the deepest, darkest Devon

RoseOfTheOrient · 25/09/2008 07:07

the dress is gorgeous - I want one!

Jewelsandgems · 25/09/2008 07:40

Gorgeous dress cake and will look fabulous on you. And not even that expensive when you think about it - can be worn over poloneck for winter, with skinnies, with tights, with leggings [and then next S/S too!]

ninedragons · 25/09/2008 07:58

That dress is a classic. I think you will get years of wear out of it.

They seem to be all the range but I really hate them.

Give me minimal, sleek and one colour any day

ltec, i am happy to wait for the new delivery to arrive

oh my did i say how great you will look in that dress?

bamboostalks · 25/09/2008 09:16

That dress is gorgeous all eyes will be on you. Not many people could get away with that, it is stunning. Sleek and minimal is boring and samey...you have your whole life to dress like that.

Ladies

you have all been so lovely to me, not just about my frivolity and devil-may-care approach to the credit crunch and general suffering in the world, but also about my taste and looks.

So a huge thank you.

But

OH MYGOD

drowninginlaundry!! I can't bloody believe it! All this time we have been bonding over books (read 100 splendid suns on your recom) Chloe dresses, foul croc clutches and gorgeous Sth American handbags. And all the while it's you, my old coffee and cake, breathing and bump buddy!!!

I am so pleased to hear from you, and so delighted that you are a) pregnant and b) in Devon

expect an email very soon!

Maggieb52 · 25/09/2008 19:09

Love the bravado tank bra. Great support and full tummy coverage. It really is the best bra I have ever bought www.scrummy-mummy.com/bravado-breastfeeding-p-136.html

Maggieb52 · 25/09/2008 19:13

it arrived today. And is lovely!

but

am sending back.

it is substantially cheaper in US so have bought it there and had it sent to my sister's place in NY. She is coming for a visit in a few weeks and will bring it over, saving me around £60 in the process, yay.

thanks again for all your positive comments - even you cod, albeit in a very conditional way
