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.

    Was it in Red? I looked at the catalogue too, not impressed, it all looks very crinkly and poor quality!!

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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 sale

    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.
