Is the rabbit t-shirt the one Lo Bosworth was pictured wearing? Pattern a bit like the credits of Watership Down?

PVish · 06/10/2009 16:23

yes
we tried it on and wept with laughter
it looked so so bad

PVish · 06/10/2009 16:26

youd have to be about a sie 6 and about 18 for it not to look bev callard style

Has anyone tried on the fame Topshop tshirt with the mouth of a gorgon at crotch area?

Will try to find a link.

GetOrfMoiLand · 06/10/2009 16:29

French Connection stuff absolutely beautiful and (bonus this) sizes come up big so am a small in there (yay).

Plus they are brilliant in a sale. Have a much loved black silk jumpsuit which was reduced from £150 to £25. I saw it and picked it up and clutched it to myself in glee.

bodycolder · 06/10/2009 16:30

It is def the best high street shop for fit and style over all esp at the moment.

Sunshinemummified · 06/10/2009 16:32

It's also great if you're pregnant as the way they cut a lot of their clothes flatter the pregnant shape. I have a fab summer dress that I can wear pregnant or not.

GetOrfMoiLand · 06/10/2009 16:32

crocodile mouth t shirt

Think you have to be 15/thin/mad to wear this.

GetOrfMoiLand · 06/10/2009 16:34

Sorry that link doesn't go straight to it, is style no 15 on the 'lookbook'.

Was on the hotlist of ST Style magazine this weekend. Madness.

bodycolder · 06/10/2009 16:39

All the christopher kane stuff is for the seriously young and slim.There is a navy studded dress which is quite nice but apart from it NO!!!!!!!

GetOrfMoiLand · 06/10/2009 16:44

Tried a bright pink bodycon River Island dress on this summer. Still haven't recovered from the sight of that in the mirror.

Am too much an old fart for some of the fashion nowadays

BoysAreLikeDogs · 06/10/2009 16:45

arf

on me that crocodile t shirt would be like Belly's Gonna get You

Sunshinemummified · 06/10/2009 16:46

The Christopher Kane stuff looks good on Rhianna although am getting a bit bored of her fashion forward straight off the catwalk to her stylist style though.

CybilLiberty · 06/10/2009 16:46

me and dd tried this on at the wekend. I said I looked better, she said SHE looked better. Either way it's a really nice, quite subdued flashy jacket

tulpe · 06/10/2009 16:54

I am . I sooo wanted that sequin skirt.

GetorfMoiland - is your French Connection dress the navy one with the gold sequin stripes? ( - think it was called The Serpent Dress - I believe it was a copy of a Max Mara dress) I bought that one 2 or 3 years ago now and have worn it loads (looks great worn as a tunic over skinny jeans and heels too). There always seems be millions of the sequins everywhere after wearing it but it still looks new

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 06/10/2009 17:09

I have seen you mention that sequin skirt on other threads and thought ughhh and it's something I wouldn't wear if you paid me BUT having now seen (notwithstanding the model need to pee) I think it would look better on someone a little more mature looking than an 18 yr old who would just look slaggish as they would team it with tight top and bare legs and it sounds like you are going for the more subtle look.

I always think Rhianna looks like a fashion car crash, I thought you were suppose to take one part of the seasons thing and make it your own not just throw everything on and hope it works.
