This is the selection that they have on the site - you may find a few other styles in the stores that are out of stock on the site.

Thank you so much.

You can order whatever they don't have in store in your size and it will be delivered to the store. You pay when it arrives so you can try whatever you order on for size first before you buy. If you go to Customer Service you can order there. You'll need the style number. It will start with a T. For example, this one has the code T818259P. (T81 is the code for collection bras.) If you find one in the shop that doesn't have your size have a look at the chart at the back and if it comes in your size just order it. Or if you see one on the site that isn't in store you can order it in store too as long as you have the code. It usually takes about 2 days depending on the shop for orders to arrive. The Galway store had a ridiculous 5 day wait last time I tried to order something there. So even if Mullingar don't have your size you could still try to order it in.

Thank you so much for that.

Could anyone tell me what the sizing of Cheap Monday is like? They've some nice jeans in the ASOS sale but I've never bought them before. I wear 28" 32" jeans from topshop if that's anything to go by!

In my experience they're more fitted, so I would go for the 29" inch waist. Beware if you're buying them in black though, the colour runs very quickly in the wash.

Thank you!

Got me some bargainous bargains in Boots today, everything is half price and they have loads of stock left. Happy days:D

Twee. · 03-01-2011 06:46PM

Some good underwear bargains in Arnotts, if you can find your size! They have €5 and €10 baskets of bras and pants. Also Wonderbra, Freya, Calvin Klein, Elle McPherson, loads of top brands with 20%-50% discounts. I got an Armani bra for €27, down from €60 I think. It has a gloriously tacky dimante Armani logo on it

State of it, but fits nice.

stripysocks85 · 04-01-2011 03:54PM

As you girls were chatting about bra sizes and getting measured, is it possible to measure yourself using a measuring tape & those online guides, or are they complete tack?

Sibylla · 04-01-2011 03:59PM

I've tried measuring myself a few times and it's never accurate. I think it's worth getting measured properly.

Twee. · 04-01-2011 04:42PM

Hi Janeybabe

!

It's free of charge to get measured and you don't have to buy anything. If they're forcing it, just say you're in a rush and just dropped in :pac: But if you're intending to buy in a department store it's good to do on the same day as you get measured as different brands fit different.

Sibylla · 05-01-2011 12:55AM

I recieved a few messages about Mina and their delivery policy. It takes 4-8 days to deliver to Ireland via royal mail and delivered by the postal service. If you are unhappy you can exchange within 14 days. Delivery for orders over 120 is free, under that is 7 pounds. Also I noticed some of their dresses are far more expensive on other sites, e.g. Asos, Modcloth, As Dolorous said in the purchases thread so it's well worth keeping an eye out there. It's fast becoming my favourite site.

I was also lucky enough to get a student discount off the original price! They have some nice sets in the henry St Store so Im stocked up on lovely shower and body butter goodies for the year! Do this every year and fill up a hat box with nice stuff. They usually reduce the stuff down to 75% around the 14th Jan so worth having a look then too but most of it is generally gone.

Chuchoter · 06-01-2011 01:51PM

I got a jacket off ebay and it looks like a badly made shirt. :mad::mad:

E.T. · 06-01-2011 02:23PM

That's a balls crayolastereo. I got a dress from ebay a few weeks ago that looked lovely in the photo, red with little flowers. When it arrived it looked like something for a 90 year old, the flowers are grey and it's really dull. Damn ebay and things looking so much nicer in photos.

OldGoat · 06-01-2011 08:12PM

If the goods supplied are not what was in the picture (yet claim to be) then you should be entitled to your money back. Just my opinion.

I'm currently reading around the topic of product photography. Making items look their best is a skill and artform and there are professionals out there who will make your dull bit of bling shine like a Tiffany advert.

I've yet to read the guidlines on EBay about how much an image of goods can be tweeked in Photoshop but increasing the colour saturation of the picture would seem to me to be misrepresenting the goods.

Chuchoter · 06-01-2011 09:30PM

Just got an email back from the guy saying he'll give me a refund and I don't need to post it back

Just hasn't come into the paypal account yet, maybe there is a delay. :S

Vinta81 · 07-01-2011 06:00PM

Thoughts?

On me it skims the floor, but in heels it doesn't drag. Haven't bought it yet though.

Mission:

Anything similar and/or what shoes/accessories to pair with it?

It's divine on, i feel so elegant.

The Cool · 07-01-2011 06:23PM

Twee, I love the red Schuh brogues you're wearing in the WDYWT thread - I wonder are they still in store? Don't see them on the website...

The seem to be out of stock in the red I'm afraid. They have them in brown.

They're by Red or Dead and the style is called Alexa if you wanted to do a Google or try order them in a Schuh store.

That is a stunning dress.

As there is some detail on the shoulder I would keep accessories (jewellery) simple, otherwise it could take from the detail of the dress. I wouldn't wear a neck-piece with the dress though, as there is enough detail in the shoulder of the dress, imo.

Maybe some earrings and bracelet? Something like these

Vinta81 · 07-01-2011 09:35PM

Yeah I don't to be too fussy. Need to find some nice silver shoes.

That jewellary site is lovley! I have a similar bracelet, I need a nice pair of earrings, the drop ones are gorgeous!

The Lovely Muffin · 08-01-2011 12:07AM

Can anyone give me their opinions on this dress on me please? I've been told given opinions by members of my family, none of which were honest with me. I like the dresses, but don't know if they suit me, I'd appreciate some honest opinions. And by honest, I mean, don't hold back.:o

Thanks.

fghijkl · 08-01-2011 12:38AM

erm...are those dresses from topshop by any chance, remember seeing then in the sale... thought they looked a *bit* tacky in real life... thats just personal opinion though i hate that stretchy material and i'm not a fan of "bling"(not being offensive

)

In saying that they don't look like that at all on you

Love the pinkish one, much nicer with your skin tone than the black

my 2 cents

fillefatale · 08-01-2011 12:45AM

I like the first one on you. The black isn't anything special tbh, the bling stands out a bit more so it looks a bit cheaper.

Yes they are from Topshop.

I'm not offended, I'd really like honest opinions on it, I won't be offended lol.

Thank you for your opinion, I appreciate you being honest and taking the time to reply.

rannerap · 08-01-2011 01:28AM

I think the first one is lovely!really suits your body shape and looks really well on!:), the second one cause its darker looks a little tacky with the jewels standing out more, not awful or anything, just not as nice as the first!

Twee. · 08-01-2011 01:43AM

I agree, the pink is really lovely on. But side note for everyone, the second one is actually navy (used to work in TS), so isn't truly that dark in person. But I still love the pink one more
