[wayward bob]

cute it reminded me i'd been eyeing this up, so at 25 quid i thought i'd give it a try. i usually look shit in pale colours though

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

ooh that dress is adorable! might get that instead

 

[wayward bob]

you might wanna be quick then it seems to be selling fast.

[fakeplasticgirl]

noooo they don't have my size

 

[wayward bob]

i wanted an 8 but i reckon with all the elastic i should be okay with a 10. warehouse sizes are usually pretty small.

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

i wanted a 10 but hasn't it run out? am i being thick?

ETA: yup i'm being thick, misread it, they still have a 10

 

[wayward bob]

no, just low stock. you may have to order to collect, that's what i had to do, no use if you don't have a shop nearby though.

I can't link to it, but really like the balinese maxi dress

 

[moose]

I bought a plain black cotton dress off ebay that I'm going to edge with gingham bias binding to match my gingham doc martens.

Wonder Woman pyjamas, bought just for the T shirt top. The trousers are about 5" too long and will get hacked short, if the spirit moves me.
A few white cotton T shirts, for dyeing etc.
A vaguely leopard print cotton summer dress of the "throw on and forget about it" type.

 

[moose]

Um.... you're not a gentleman, then?

 

[Greebo]

No. As if it matters. Therefore VP isn't gay, for the benefit of those urbanites wishing to update their files.

 

[moose]

Sorry, doesn't matter at all, just had a picture of you in my mind that wasn't necessarily compatible with a summer dress.

 

[wayward bob]

grrr i'm not getting my dress they sold out

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I haven't bought a single thing this month in an effort to save money. I've seen an emerald green maxi dress which would enhance my life... WANT

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

This one

and now i want this one

TBF most of the year I do live in trousers or leggings of some sort.

Soo many lovely dresses in this thread. Almost makes me wish I had the balls to wear them (metaphorically speaking).

So this skirt came through but it was a bit too big, so went off to New Look to swap it for something else. Got a nice pair of small denim shorts instead. New Look's clothes seem to be really big this season

 

[Greebo]

Is that green one <shudder, gulp> polyester? I like the top part of it, but it'd need to be a lot shorter, maybe with an asymetric or pointy hemline to work on me.


I admit it, I'm a snob about synthetics - bad memories of drip dry nylon, but if you're happy with it, I'm not knocking it

 

[wayward bob]

woo for warehouse and their skimpy sizing. i got my flowery dress in a 12 and it fits okay. the arms are a bit loose but i should be able to put a tuck in them to keep them in place. mr bob was gratifyingly when he saw me in it

 

[killer b]

i picked up some vintage lotus veldtschoen shoes. proper heavy duty construction: i think they were built to last a lifetime. need a bit of love & polish, but i reckon they'll look pretty sweet by the weekend.

 

[smmudge]

What does it mean when you're buying shoes from amazon and it has F or D after the size number?

 

[killer b]

it's the width. F is fairly wide, D about middling.

 

[smmudge]

I see...so if there are three options - say, 6, 6F, 6D - which one would be the thinnest?

 

[wayward bob]

i bought a fantastic strapless bra yesterday. been wearing it all day not fallen out or had to fiddle with it once. every other strapless i've tried has either been hopeless or uncomfortable or a funny shape or too specialist for everyday wear.

 

[killer b]

i dunno. are you a boy or a lady?

unfortunately width sizes don't appear to be standard accross all manufacturers, so it may be a sizing scheme used only by the manufacturer - might be worth looking at their website for guidance?

[smmudge]

I'm a lady, although these boots claim to be unisex. Maybe I just need thicker socks.

 

[spanglechick]

this, from evans, which was a bit spendy (£49.50) but looks much nicer in real life.

i'd like to wrestle him.
