Oh Panda I hate you!! I want this and a similar one both from AWear sooooooo badly. I refuse to try them on until payday tho because if I try them on before then ya KNOW they'll be gone when I has monies.

I'm so disappointed! My Apricot order came this morning, including this dress:

I ordered a 12, and I absolutely love the dress. It arrived and I'd say it's barely a size 10! It's just marked as "Medium" on the label. I'm a 34DD and my boobs are completely squashed, and the arm holes dig into my shoulders and underarms. I really adore the look of it, but sending it back and paying for delivery of the next size up would almost be the cost of the dress again

Can you not change it in Debenhams or anywhere else with an Apricot concession? They're probably not technically supposed to, but if you ask nicely, they're likely to swap the size for you. In any case, all they can do is say no

I looked on Debenhams and New Looks website, but neither of them seem to stock it. No idea where else has an Apricot concession in Cork.

Could you phone them with the style number that's on the tag of the dress? Or describe the dress to them? Maybe they could check if they have that item in store.

I have often found with shops that just because something isn't on their website, doesn't mean they don't stock it, often enough, they have the items in store, but for whatever reason, those items aren't online.

Yeah, good idea. Apricot aren't even listed on the Debenhams website. I'll go into town tomorrow and chance my arm

I picked up a blouse very similar to this for E10, mine is green though. The one I got is the only herbie ss top in pepper green, can't find a pic of it online.

The ruffles on my blouse aren't as big as on the Chloé blouse and the bottom of my blouse is elasticated.

LadyMayBelle · 29-08-2012 04:39PM

Picked up this for a wedding..

then the same day found the same brand jumper as good as new in a charity store for 7 quid..

I'm nearly sure I've seen Apricot on Dorothy Perkins' website.

Got 2 lovely scarves on Asos and some basics too:

It's just the same top in 3 different colours, but I love the boxy style, it's a really easy "throw-it-on" kinda t-shirt!

I saw someone out wearing this the other night. It was a bittersweet moment. I was like, "Dat dress!" but the pub was all sweaty and dark and people were bumping into each other everywhere and spilling drinks so it didn't get the praise it deserved.

I splurged a bit for my graduation outfit

LK Bennett Red Corvina Dress: €275 in BT

LK Bennett Lillian Tailored Belted Jacket: €275 in BT

LK Bennett Dawn Shrug: €105 in BT

LK Bennett Genevra Patent Belt (in black, but can't find picture of it in black): €75 in BT

Tamaris Black Patent Shoes: €50 in Pairs.

It's a huge splurge, but I'm going to feel amazing for my graduation, and it's an outfit that I'll be able to get lots of wear out of, I hope anyway!

Gillsha · 02-09-2012 07:05PM

Warehouse €65, much nicer in person

Aisling(",) · 02-09-2012 09:54PM

20 euro each from boohoo with 10% off.
Hopefully they're nice.I'm really excited for the skater style one.

sleepyescapade · 03-09-2012 04:21AM

Some 50% sale splurging!

From DC

From Roxy, for the Autumn/Winter

Salty · 03-09-2012 06:37PM

I'd completely forgotten I'd ordered this jumper from iclothing.ie along with the stuff from Asos until it arrived this morning by courier!:p

It's really nice on, comes just to my hips so it'll be nice for layering! I don't really like the way the model is wearing it with the end rolled up, it's much nicer irl!

TeletextPear · 03-09-2012 11:41PM

Dress from New Look, €25.

Zara, €49.95. Much nicer on, has an aubergine kind of shine off the pattern. Frill only on front, photo doesn't show that very well.

I got the Body Shape Denims from Marks and Spencers, bit hurt that I had to take the size 10 but at least they fit - I took the Marilyn shape...they were 35Eur but if they are good I will get more pairs, have been less confident in my jeans since having my little ones but these seem good so far...

Let us know if they are good:) Had a look at your link and if they do what they say it looks like they might be worth investing in. Will def try and get to a M&S to try them on over the next few weeks and will take out the measuring tape to see what style may suit best!

CathyMoran · 06-09-2012 08:23AM

I wore them yesterday and they did fit a lot better - I always have problems with my waist being a lot smaller than my hips - having said that I maybe should have taken the Eva in the 8! They were comfortable on the hips and tummy. I have bought a pair in Camel, get them on Saturday as they were not in my local store - I took the M in the legs as I have long legs for me height (5ft 1in). Will wear them again and keep you updated. I will never be happy with my hips though but that is another thing...

lindtee sorry meant to link to your post, had my one year old tugging at me

barleybooley · 06-09-2012 02:33PM

Bought this playsuit on the RI website the other day. Got it last year in a kind of rust colour and was praying it would come back again this season in the black, delighted!

Help! I love this dress and want to buy it now (15% off and free delivery) but dunno whether to get it in red or black. I love both. I have blonde hair and fair skin.

Black!

Whoops thought this was the Chatwalk thread...sorry!

Yeah the black is much nicer :P I just have so many black dresses. Oh well! Just bought the black one. It better fit!

yay!

Faith · 07-09-2012 03:22PM

I think the black is much nicer

. The red is too garish a shade, IMO, particularly for your colouring.
