I have in the past ... but after I visited my Great Aunt and saw the catalogue on her lounge table, I decided it was a bit 'old lady' for me! Sorry.

CaptainHaddock · 09/04/2010 23:17

Oh dear, perhaps not such a good idea then thanks for the tip off!

I have bought a few things in their sales - they were lovely. I'm a 10/12 and found the 10 plenty big enough, although I've only bought tops and jumper dresses. Despite all the 'handwashing' labels, I've put most of my tops through the delicate cycle on the machine and they've come out well.

CaptainHaddock · 09/04/2010 23:33

Hmmm, thanks Knotty will keep an open mind then. Have ordered catalogue aswell so can procrastinate a bit longer

I ordered last weekend and it still hasn't arrived....

brimfull · 10/04/2010 10:53

have ordered
sadly most of the stuff I order goes back
I like it and the stuff is correct size , maybe a bit bigger than some places
it all looks a bit droopy on me
am thinking of ordering this though

CaptainHaddock · 10/04/2010 14:49

Yes, I'm worried about it looking a bit droopy aswell especially as I have quite narrow slopey shoulders. Was thinking of ordering this, this, and this.

Whaddya think?

I love the cowl cardi, really lovely with vests

Fayrazzled · 10/04/2010 15:58

I have in the best but TBH, I think it's a bit frumpy- everything is big and not very well fitted. Might be OK if you're slim but if you're bigger than a 12 then I think it just makes you look bigger.

Not planning to order anything, but I love this (ultra-fine merino sweater).

purplepeony · 10/04/2010 20:08

At first glance, it looks okay- but on closer inspection I think WRAP is fuddy duddy but they try to make things look good with nice photos etc etc.

I also think it is grossly overpriced.

purplepeony · 10/04/2010 20:11

I also think they are emulating Boden but without the garish colours and prints- many of the dresses are the same style.

CaptainHaddock · 10/04/2010 22:08

I know what you mean purple, I'm always a bit confused about how much to pay for 'knitwear' type garments - I have in the back of my mind that the more expensive the better it will wash/wear but not sure if that is true

OP posts:
brimfull · 10/04/2010 22:09

yes their stuff looks good on thin tall models with decent shoulders
looks like a pile of shoite on me
and only worht it if you get iti in the sale

i also bought a hooded merino wool top from them last year. has stayed in fairly good shape and i wash it on the "hand wash" cycle as can't stand handwashing!

if i remember correctly i thought their p&p charges were over the top and having looked at this season's catalogue could only see a couple of things i'd want but all hideously over priced.

BikeRunSki · 11/04/2010 00:06

I have two pairs of trousers from them, and the outside seams came undo with a couple of wearimngs. They strike me as being very ££££ for fairly mediocre stuff.

Monadami · 11/04/2010 02:31

Bit too mature for my liking, (even though I'm 41.) OH's mum orders skirts and tops from there and I wouldn't want to look like her. Mind you, there are some very nice classical shapes there.

CaptainHaddock · 11/04/2010 14:48

Any sign of your order yet cornsilk? Could you let me know what you think of it?

Thanks

Yes it arrived on Saturday. Very nice quality coat (from sale) but won't be keeping as it flares out a bit at the bottom and I wanted a straighter style .
