Joe Browns clothing - any good

I had a Joe Brown's catalogue in a magazine. There are some lovely clothes in it but it seems quite expensive. Before I splash the cash, I'd appreciate any experiences. Good? Bad? Indifferent? What's the quality like?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Was it in Red? I looked at the catalogue too, not impressed, it all looks very crinkly and poor quality!!Get to 119lbs! 1/2/09: 135.6lbs 1/5/11: 145.8lbs 30/3/13 150lbs 22/2/14 137lbs 2/6/14 128lbs 29/8/14 124lbs 2/6/17 126lbs

I've only ever ordered a hat - supposedly "one size" but it was very tight on me, and my head is only average sized!0

The tops I ordered were rather poor quality for the price, I thought. I don't intend to order anything else from the catalogue in future0

I've also noticed that their gifts/accessories are two or three times the amount I could buy them for in shops!0

I order Joe Browns stuff from simplybe and I like the style. The quality I would say is fair although you could get better quality stuff cheaper on the high street.
The sizes are small so I would advise getting the next size up everytime

I ordered a couple of tops and a dress in the Summer, they were very pretty but I do find their sizing varies, some items I needed a 10 some a 12.0

I have ordered quite a few tops for myself and t shirts for my OH as well as a coat last year. I found the quality and sizing on a par to Dorothy Perkins and have been very pleased with the clothes.0

The quality is on a par with the high street but the prices are a little more expensive. I only tend to buy if it's on saleBaby Ice arrived 17th April 2011. Tired.com! :j0

I agree about the sizing issues - out of four things I ordered last year, only one actually fit well, and the others were all of a skimpy (or strangely shaped) cut.A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion0
