Has the Bi annual laugh and point at most things Per Una been done yet?

[Megglevache]

Or has it been replaced by Topshop?

hmmm nice

I'm hoping that there are as usual plenty of lovely dresses/tops constructed from the sort of net that is generally used for pan scrubbers.

I went to have a look, whilst thinking of the critiquing that happens at Mumsnet... and well, let's just say that there is plenty of imagery worth critiquing. I seriously thought I was looking at the 'Classics' range. Wide of the mark, way off course. Disappointing.

foularama

on a positive note lots of strangers would approach you
to tell you your pants were eating your skirt

just awful....

who would want to buy a vest with a matching bolero and scarf...the mind boggles!

have checked the reviews on the tucked-into-pants- skirt and valerie wasn't so keen but Julieta loved it

I love the description on that skirt.

'the hitch up detail gives it the Per Una touch' damm right it does!! Yuck!

My mum wanted to buy this outfit.
I managed to persuade her not to.

LGP - my Mum likes Per Una, it's distressing.

And my Mum! She's 53 - I have directed her to Monsoon rather than Bon Marche!

My mum loves Per Una and it actuaaly really suits her! However, she is 71 and anything she buys me from there gets returned immediately!!

Oh my Lordy, my eyes!
My Mom loves Per Una too, she has a variety of their fussy, frilly, floral long skirts. She is 57 and they do actually suit her, she does wear plain tops though with them, thank goodness.
That vest/cardi and scarf has really offended me for some reason.

Yes! My mother loves it and it really does suit her!

It really is fashion for the over 65's isn't it?

The thing is I'm ashamed to admit this but about 7 years ago I often bought the odd thing from Per Una. Looking back at old photos I don't look like lamb dressed as mutton some of the tops were quite trendy. When did it all go so wrong?

Soem bits used ot be ok. Why don't they have older models?

My mum is 75! I've no objection to her wearing Per Una in general, but that chartreuse stuff was hideous beyond belief. It practically glows in the dark.

My grandmother is very passive aggressive about per una.

She buys something GODawful and KEEPS it for several years in a drawer. Then she presents it to me for Christmas.

I take it back and am told it is now down to £0.09p and without the receipt that will be all I get.

I usually walk out and ditch it in the nearest bin.

She NEVER gives me the fricking receipt. It is 'Wear what I think you should wear or be damned, NO Christmas present!!!'

LadyG Stop pelase I am crying now

think my old primary teacher back in the 80s had a skirt like this

Per Una is dreadful.

vom

for those I want to channel a matador moments

Jesus, slug, that shrug was the most hideous object that I have ever seen. Jumente is going to get from her gran for Christmas 2011. Either that or my mum's chartreuse top.

staaaaand and deliver

Can you imagine your usual 50-something Per Una fan in that?
