Jigsaw and Kew have gone downhill- resorting to Boden again- help! Where else?

[howtotellmum]

USed to love Jigsaw and Kew but they have now gone all droopy and plain, and Jigsaw is £££s.

Where else is there apart from Boden?
( don't like twee prints or applique).
Hate Hobbs, Toast and Joules.
White Stuff is nice but not the dresses.
Fat Face not me.

I am 45-ish size 8-10 and petite. I don't wnt to look mutton as lamb, but have a bit of fashion sense left in me.

Help!

Whistles?

Hmmm..all a bit dull this season, and a bit too formal as well. I like things with a quirky or ethnic twist. Please don't suggest Monsoon-too garish and prints too big for me.

great plains?

phase eight, some stuff nice
designers at debenhams
linea at house of fraser

Per Una. "Check out my new jacket!"

Per Una is something I totally don't get

Maybe it's because I'm too old!

Not Per Una -sorry- too fuusy and droopy skirts etc.

Phase 8- a bit too Per Unar-ish.

You can see why I am having problems.

The odd time I do think "That looks hopeful" I find that they have stuck some tatty applique or a ruffle on what would have been an okay jumper or top. However, my mum (72) loves their stuff as it's a bit glam!

X-post. That was about Per Una by the way.

Joe Browns?

You've ariculated exactly my problem howtotellmum

Warehouse instore have some nice clothes (well the JL concession does) better than their online.
Monsoon?
Ghost

Erm?

East?

Thanks Ladies- Utam and Joe browns are a bit young-I'm in good shape but no that good!

Mosnoons- too bright usually. Ghost- possibly.

Like Sandwich but do they have store or just bits in JL etc?

Suddenly remembered Noa Noa....

Sounds like you need to get yourself down to Holister.

Oooh Florence, love the links, bookmarking now!

fenn wright manson too

here?

adili might be worth a look.

Ok, on closer look didn't like much on those links, lots of nice stuff on adili sight though Aefondkiss.

Don't think you can order online but they have a shop finder and I think I've seen in either John Lewis or House of fraser.

Aefondkiss's 'Inis' link is great. I am going to have a window shop this morning.

Zara? You'd need to have the trousers shortened (which they can do for you), as they are made for giants, but lovely things and great for your dress size.

French Connection-also fairly long legged trousers, but have got some 'gorgeous classic, with fashion edge' pieces at teh moment.

this site has some lovely clothes.
