I love Lipsy

I just bought this stunning dress in London today!! It is fabulous, has in-built boning and makes me look tiny, love it, love it, love it!! Now I just have to find an excuse to wear it!

It's also way more flattering than the two tone versions of this dress which are in satin or silk. This one is cotton, it far more sturdier and gives a way nicer shape.

I hate lipsy personally. Find their materials cheap and their dresses tacky. They can get it right every once in a while but in general I find it to be expensive tart clothes

Cookie Jar · 14-08-2009 9:42am

I'm actually addicted to lipsy.

Last addition..

Yup, that's pretty much my view on Lipsy!

xOxSinéadxOx · 14-08-2009 12:39pm

^ I also more or less agree

insert-gear · 14-08-2009 12:47pm

I really cant stand fake jewels on clothes (no offence to anyone). I just think they ruin what could be a nice dress by putting big fake diamonds and purple gems on them.

jellie · 14-08-2009 2:46pm

can anyone tell me if lipsy dresses are small fitting in their experience? ive heard they can be, particularly around the boobs. im in love with this one..

14-08-2009 6:36pm

I find the total opposite with their sizes. I'm a 12 with C-D cup boobs and find the boobs loose fitting. I have 2 size 10 lipsy dresses - the rest are all 12's I really don't think they're small.

Anyone else hear that there's gonna be a shop that stocks Lipsy in Liffey Valley soon?

It'll probably only have a really small selection but still

Michellenman · 14-08-2009 6:43pm

Which shop is gonna stock it?

Someone was only talkin about this shop in work today.. there is one out in newbridge!! Seemingly they do a few brands!

leesmom · 14-08-2009 9:18pm

went into lipsy in dundrum couple of weeks ago, was very disapointed, the clothes look great online but in reality i thought they were very cheap looking and the dresses are serrriiosly short!
saw today that they stock them in arnotts in the jervis street centre where debenhams used to be.

KatiexKOUTURE-- · 14-08-2009 9:20pm

I really like lipsy. Theres a shop in Drogheda called Ciel in the shopping centre in the town (not scotch hall). They've a good enough selection and prices aren't bad either.

I agree. The clothes look amazing in the magazines but I was very disappointed when I saw them in the shop - fecking miniscule!

The material was not good quality and the dresses will be out of shape after a few wears. Sorry, but I am not spending what little spare cash I have on tat like that.

I'm a 32D. I have one Lipsy dress in a 12 which is very loose around the bust. However, I tried on another dress and the 12 was just right around the bust so it's not always the same, depends on the style of dress.

idontknowmyname · 15-08-2009 10:12am

I do think the sizes are teeny tiny. I agree that some of the fabrics look and feel pretty cheap but the dress which I posted the link to it's pretty good quality. It was £65 in a posh department store in wimbledon.

gotta agree, thats ones really funky!
in general tho, i think lipsys very hit or miss. with a lot more miss than hit! its mostly glorified tack!

milklady · 16-08-2009 4:44pm

i think lipsy is like a dear version of magic :-)can be very tacky at times but i will admit iv bought a few bits,im into funky stuff not the whole jewels and stuff,original posters dress is lovely and i think their sizes are ok,i find it hard to get stuff to fit my boobs anyway so kinda stick with skirts a lot here's the skirt i wore :-) bought it during the week
