Debating which one of these I should get:

Any idea's?

Defo the middle, don't like the other two but that one is lovely!

Stench Blossoms · 19-01-2011 12:37PM

Think I might go wild and buy all three when I get paid

I love all of them especially the dress in the middle, love the sleeves and the detail on the front of it. Prettyful Dresses

lainey316 · 19-01-2011 08:26PM

I like the first two, but not the third - it looks like a glorified top that's a small puff of air away from revealing her (hopefully clad) lady garden! First two very pretty.

I love to see what other people are buying though it does not help my self-imposed clothes and shoes ban til May (USA trip)

Sibylla · 19-01-2011 08:33PM

I agree with Lainey either of the first two would be nice. Sometimes I find that issue with Asos too, dresses that look like tops. Rarely order from them myself but have got nice items in the past.

Just saw this site on a thread here and I've fallen in love with EVERYTHING on it:D http://www.modcloth.com/

But, I hardly ever buy things online because I'm sooo fussy - and I've the most awkward figure ever when it comes to getting clothes that fit well! So I'm wondering how the returns work? I was looking at the site there and it doesn't say 'free' at the international returns bit, so I'm assuming you'd pay yourself? Also, I've never bought from the U.S. so I'm wondering what the story is with import tax?

I'd appreciate anyone sharing any know-how!

Cheers!

I've bought from them a few times & yeah I think you have to pay the shipping on returns that don't fit. I've returned something once & got refunded it but that was cos the item was faulty (buttons missing). I don't think they'd refund if it's just that it doesn't fit unfortunately.

Can't help on the import tax cos I don't live in Ireland so I don't have to worry about extortionate import taxes!

G86 · 21-01-2011 04:52PM

Ah bugger, I've seen some reaaaly nice dresses on there!

And these are a major WANT!

(Although I'd prob break my ankle in them!)

Those shoes are AMAZING. I possibly want them more than I've ever wanted anything in my life!

Toto Wolfcastle · 22-01-2011 04:08AM

My experience of Modcloth is that if you are sent a small box you probably wont get get caught but if it's a medium/large box you probably will get caught by customs.

Also, while a lot of the stuff on the site is great, the quality of some of the stuff is not great for the price you pay. It depends on the brand.

Thanks Lia_Lia, I've picked up a few gems in Forever 21, that's probably my favourite. Some of the plus size stuff is absolute tack, but there are some gorgeous bits as well.

Mollikins · 28-01-2011 11:53AM

allandanyways and squeakyduck you look fab in the other thread!

I had to force myself to stop browsing ASOS and other clothes sites a few weeks ago but I'm back looking at them now. It's my birthday fairly soon and I'll get a load of money for it (Well I hope I will anyway!) so expect to see a few purchases from me around these parts!

phasers · 28-01-2011 03:50PM

allandanyways that dress is so adorable!

I can't decide whether I like F21+ or not... every time I go in I see stuff I sort of like but something sems a bit off. I think I'll have to buy a dress to try out

The Lovely Muffin · 29-01-2011 12:57AM

Does anyone do any River Island stores in Dublin City have this cardigan in stock? And how much it costs please? I am looking for it in both Grey and Beige.

I went into the store n Henry St today and none of the staff had any idea what I was talking about, they all assumed I was talking about some cowl neck dress.

Cocoon Slouchy Pocket Cardigan

Thanks for any help.

If you get the product code off the website and ring the store, they can put it into a scanner and check if they have it!

"Hi, I'm looking for a dress. Yeah, it's black. Short. Really nice. Saw it in Grazia magazine''

Not the easiest phone calls to deal with
