Am I mad for buying Brora jumper dress

[Barbsieboo]

Just bought in sale preview in black - please tell me will get loads of wear in all weather..... feeling tres guilty....

Dressing gown was £495 , is now £259. And it matches my bedroom and everything...

£259 from £495 - for a dressing gown!! - there is no way I will go there!! but I would so love it (hmmm lottery numbers!!)

Hmm. Will it get discounted any more?

Apuski - it matches my bedroon too!! but not my bank balance - will watch to see if they do a mad reduction.

Stepping away from the dressing gown....

me too - boo hoo

Step away. £250 is alot. (suppose it depends on the.....)

that dress is lovely. I would have bought it but I am Trying To Economise this year. Everything Brora lasts forever. I have been living in two huge black jumpers from there this past month - they are a million times nicer (and warmer) than anything else I have

I love that dress! good for you - I wish my budget would stretch to it! Actually what I really wish for is that Brora would do a high quality merino dress for those of us on budgets...

I think it looks really nice - fraid I had to limit myself to gloves and socks. Please give us feedback on here when you get it - I responded to their request for a review (of cashmere socks - I mean what can you say, 'warm'?) and was slightly taken aback to get an automatic reply saying that they would examine it or something (ie check complimentary??) before putting it up.

Oh that six ply cashmere poncho
with a hood
And sleeves
And everything
sigh

it is gorgeous

love it with the model's belt too

Heres hoping!!!! will update you all when it arrives.... over the guilt of remorgaging the house for it and into excited. I am concerned over buying black again but hey its classic - right!!

I am hanaflower's friend with that dress and it is amazing - super flattering, cosy cosy warm, could BF in it if I ever have DC2. I keep handwashing and wearing it and neglecting the rest of my wardrobe! Seriously, if they'd had it in a more 'different' colour (e.g. paler grey or bright red or something) I would buy 2.

Oh, it's divine, I love love love it

But they only have it in dull colours in my size. What a relief. Will spend the money on dd1s birthday party instead

I have three Brora pieces and they have lasted well. Buy it.

Thanks guys - heres hoping it fits!!!! please !!!!! and if so will be ecstatically pleased and tell hubby had it ages and its from.........??? somewhere much cheaper......... he keeps trying to ut me off Brora but I am having none of it!!

oooh - snap! I just bought this dress in black too.

Its arrived and tah dah I love it...... mat struggle when it is in the was.....dh has been talked around ........ but not told the price tag

Lovely dress and FWIW I think Brora wears exceptionally well.

When DD was a toddler she was bought a couple of the zip up cardis by a friend. They were a little big so she has worn them relentlessy for almost three years. I stick them in the washing machine on the handwash cycle and they are good as new.

I now buy nearly all the DC's jumpers from there.

Glad you like it - am still jealous! My socks and gloves arrived (did I mention that the thaw would set in??) and they are v nice. I also just shove the cashmere socks into the washing machine - makes them fluffier - but wouldn't necessarily recommend for a dress!

NB Boden preview order in October still not here (despite two phone calls). Brora order on Tuesday arrived yesterday morning..

What is the sizing like? Am tempted by the dark blue in size eight, I might squeeze in if generous ...

Sizing fairly true to size I would say I am 10 - 12 more 10 on hips and 12 on top and the 10 is perfect.

LTEC - I read you are also headed down under so you buying a dress too has increased my confidence that despite a sunnier climate I will still get brilliant opportunities to wear this classic dress!!
