Bought this as I wanted to try it but the colour and neckline aren’t doing it for me. I mean, why would they frankly? But at least it fits

 

[5t3IIa]

That ^ was not right so got this instead, which was mislabelled! Was the right swinging label size but the sewn in one was a size smaller Bit of a nasty surprise as I wedged myself into it But I could wedge myself into it #yeahivelostacoupleofouncesthanksfornoticing



New Look very helpful & got free next day delivery on another one I do like being able to talk to customer service on Messenger

I bought a cheap (£5) Christmas tree patterned dress from eBay. It was a Chinese import being sold on lots of uk trader sites, but this was the only vendor selling it in my size. It arrived today.

This is my message to the seller.

“Hi. I have just received this item. It is not acceptable for the following reasons:

- The fabric and label are wet through. The parcel itself, including the label were perfectly dry, and the post bag undamaged and sealed. It was evidently wet when packaged.

- Not even close to the size ordered, even considering Asian sizing.
When I checked the label, the bottom part with the size had been raggedly cut off.

This is what it seems clear has happened. You discovered you did not have the size in stock. This is fairly obvious, because every other listing selling this dress shows it was either never available in my size, or sold out. Rather than refund the purchase, you found the largest (last?) remaining dress in this pattern and send that instead, cutting out the size from the label. And It must have been in a damp storage area - but wasn’t allowed to dry before posting.

I’m almost impressed by your ambition that this would work. But no. Refund please. Thanks.”

Probably think they can do it as a lot of folk think it’s only £x amount & not worth the effort to send back.

 

[spanglechick]

I should say, I got the refund within half an hour.

And yeah. I just wouldn’t have thought it was worth the effort for a fiver.

On the same day I found one of my go-to party dresses no longer really fits, as I have an overhang of underarm wobble now someone posted a link to a dress sale at Polkadots and Petticoats, so I bought this, seeing as it was only £15.

I have it in turquoise. It’s relatively short in the body.

Not super thick. Thicker than swimsuit fabric.

jumped this way instead - silk velvet burnout, silk lined

i like the coach seat fabric effect

Ooh yes. That’s nice. The tentacle dress is fun, but it unavoidably looks cheap (because it is).

Ikr? And today I found this wicked flat cap, which is a lovely shade of lizard green and has a pattern like a Bridget Riley painting...

 

[Biddlybee]

Called basket weave in the knitting world. Very you!

Look at the variation in the knit from knit 5 purl 5 to knit 1 purl 1!! That's amazing.

Knitting is so cool

[wayward bob]

this time of year is a nightmare for my ebay habit

anyone have a clue if silk-lurex is steamable? from what i can gather lurex is plastic+foil, which gives a variety of ways to be able to fuck it up... or just wear with creases... is perfectly middle-aged-housewife-dressy to do my every festive occasion

Called basket weaves in the shoe world too

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Basket weave stripes n the shoe world too

They're beautiful shoes. Did you get those?

They're beautiful shoes. Did you get those?

Sadly not I am tempted though. Solatio 107 boxtops, old Skinhead/suedehead shoe.
They do crossovers too.....

 

[moose]

Love both of those, Fedayn. Get some!!

Love both of those, Fedayn. Get some!!

I would love too but £120 a pair they are both a bit too rich for my blood at present. These Solatio's are £60 a pair though....

 

[moose]

They're lovely too (look at the detail!), but I have a soft spot for the crossovers.

I like the Crossovers but they're a shoe for a northern soul night rather than a dress shoe which, imho, the Box Tops are, and a lovely pair of dress shoes at that too.

 

[sojourner]

These. And I'm gonna get another pair, because they are fanfuckingtastic. Really warm, breathable, great length, skin-fitting so well that I can wear them beneath any kecks and I don't feel like Michelin Man in them Flow Form Women's Baselayer Tight
