Oh dear, that skirt is quite unfortunate. Not very wearable in my opinion. Although there is probably some really trendy, kooky people out there that would love that!

What else did you get?


Well apart from the challenging unfortunate skirt (love those descriptions Sublime and FelinePrincess!). I also got in my 'non-goody' bag:

- One shoulder jersey top in dark blue. Sounds nice, slight grecian look to it BUT it's very short and 'swingy' which makes it horribly unflattering. Would only wear it in the dark... underneath a heavy jumper...

- A long skirt in pale green linen fabric with elasticated waistband. I can't find a picture of it anywhere, even on ebay. I can only assume it was never meant to see the light of day. It's hard to describe just how horrible it is.

- Cropped trousers in dark grey. These are quite nice. I just don't 'do' cropped trousers as I'm too short. Hopefully will do quite well on ebay.

-Brown organic cotton short sleeved tshirt. It's perfectly fine, I was disappointed not to get anything long sleeved this time of year. Also the fabric is just sooo thin. I've seen thicker tshirts in Primark.

- Brown wooden beads necklace. Now I love accessories, but this is just... very cheap feeling and looking. There is no weight to it so it doesn't sit right. Probably the only thing I will wear though, with my new thin brown tshirt.

I loved my last goody bag and the anticipation of opening it. I know these things are a bit hit and miss but I just hope the quality of the actual garments improves. Last time it felt like such an amazing bargain for the price so even if a few items were unsuitable it didn't matter. This time I feel like I've wasted £35. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread before I decide to order again!

yes Kara Also the fabric is just sooo thin. I've seen thicker tshirts in Primark

i agree, all the tops in my bag were very thin also

Katra

Well done for getting a free returns label Floydy. Wish I had thought of that.

I might email them too to say it was a disappointing selection. Although I've just seen that crazy skirt they sent me for £85 (!) original price on their website. It's really thin fabric with no lining!

Sounds like your bag was alot better value then mine, I only had 5 jersey items, I expect the most expensive was the dress which I have found out cost £38 full price. Think I'm going to keep 1 or 2 of my tops and put the rest on ebay, I know I wont get near what I paid but I'll feel better if I get to keep something rather then losing the £4.50 p&p and similar cost to return with nothing to show for it

I got this skirt which I only found a picture of on a Fashion Police website! It's truly awful, really thin material and a crazy shape.

I agree FelinePrincess that the quality of the items seems much lower than the last time I ordered, really the last dregs of what they could never sell.[/QUOTE]

That's my skirt! The one that ripped! It looked really nice on me. I wore it with a plain stone coloured t-shirt, tights & a pair of sand/stone coloured fabric boots. My friends thought it was a dress & it looked really good.....Though I don't pull out the sides quite so much. What size is it? I'll take it off your hands!

Can someone give me advice on the sizes please - I'm a generous size 14, hopefully shrinking further . Are the sizes quite generous or should I go for 16?

You might want to try a 14 bag. They definitely come up big.

sweaty_betty

hi there - well I've just received my size 16 bag and am quite pleased with it.
I have:
1 long sleeve orange wide neck top
1 bright green wide neck top
1 dark grey cowl neck, long sleeved top
1 navy polo top
1 woollen cream hat
1 long sleeve cream top (which is very short, so i'll probably not wear)

Perhaps my expectations were lower as I've not had a goody bag for a while (stopped after 2 bags I ordered, 6 months apart, were identical), but for £28 (after 20% off last week) I don't think that's too bad...

So my 2nd box arrived today.......As everyone else has recently said, I'm a little disappointed.
This bag doesn't seem at ALL inspired.

I've got 2, yes TWO people tree t-shirts?!
I don't wear logo tops. I wouldn't even wear a top that says Armani all over it, so why am I going to wear one for people tree!

A cute black & white check pinafore dress. Good for holiday or worn with a turtleneck & tights. Material has a defect however.

A cute embroidered cream shirt with a little collar.

An ugly lilac top, with frills around the hem line & sleeves.

I just dnt know what I'm going to do with it, I like 2 items one of which has a defect. Do I send it back or keep it?
