    My box has just arrived. I've not tried anything on yet, but this is what I got:-
    Crafty note pad
    Ivory vest top, ok
    Yellow t-shirt with the map of the world printed on, not me
    Khaki 3/4 lenghth trousers, very nice, but look very small
    Teal Sun dress with darker teal flower pattern, gorgeous hope it fits.
    I will try on later and let you know if anything fits, I had a size 12 goody bag:D

    Update have now tried everything on.
    Love the dress, fits great. Tops are ok as well. The trousers are full length not 3/4, actually length is perfect, but they are definitely not a 12 more like a small 10. May email them, not sure whether to keep or not:(

    Your goody bag sounds worth it for the dress, and tops. I've had one of their notepads before, and they are lovely. A shame about the trousers, but well done! :j

    The postman woke me up with mine this morning. At first I was disappointed, as I was after a dress ot skirt, but after trying everything on, I like it.

    I recieved two pairs of knickers. One white, one black; Plus three tops, an ivory broiderie anglaise vest top, a brown/white print top, and a Bora Aksu mustard fitted tunic top, with a cross over detail at the front that flares out slightly at the bottom. It fits beautifully, and looks gorgeous; I love it.

    I'm going to order another now. :D

    I've just found a notebook too, same as I got last year, so it has made up for not getting a dress. It must have fell out without me looking, so check your goody bags carefully, as I've had a pendant in mine before that I nearly didn't notice.

    Just put my 2nd goody bag order through. Hope I don't get any more pants. :rotfl:
  • Ordered mine on Thursday, got it today. Contents were:
    1 pleated purple jersey skirt with sash
    1 navy & white print cap sleeve top
    1 indigo linen A line skirt
    1 pink jersey cowl neck jumper
    1 people tree note book

    i'lk wear all of them except the pink cowl neck. All sizes were generous apart from the indigo skirt, which was a standard size 12.

    All in all, good value & doing something good for the planet.

    Yours sounds lovely. The cowl neck sounds nice to me. I really hope I get a dress/skirt in my next.

    These are all sounding good. :T

    I ordered mine on Wednesday so hopefully it'll be here tomorrow. Wouldn't mind any of the above apart from the knickers, I'm fussy with my knickers so don't want knickers!:rotfl:

    I ordered a size 12 too. As long as I get a couple of nice things I'll probably give my mum or sister the rest if I don't want them.

    Getting excited!

    By the way 18's were back in stock.

    Yours sounds a good mix of clothes, hope I get something similar. Hopefully mine should be here tomorrow. :j

    Well it arrived...

    I ordered £70 of stuff and thought the fact that the box weighed nothing was not a good sign.

    As well as the bag I ordered:
    Necklace - lovely but the clasp is very thin and keeps bending and will break very easily. Going back.
    Trousers - surprisingly nice but between ordering these and them receiving I bought some others which I prefer. Going back.
    Long sleeved t-shirt - bought to go under a dress but the neckline is wrong. Going back.

    So onto the box. I got:
    Notepad - all curled so no good though.
    Knickers - yep, the one thing I definately didn't want! Obviously not tried them on but they look huge!
    A halterneck - ok, yellow and muti-coloured pattern. May have worn it under a cardi but very, very thin. The only thing I would wear.
    A t-shirt - cream and blue animal print. Would never wear it, would have kept it for decorating or given it to my sister but again, very thin.
    A vest top - but not any vest top. I expect to see this on Desperate Housewives or something when someone is trying to convince other people they are pregnant. Ah! It's this but in black and honestly, if the model were to stop slouching, you'd see the full tentness of it and how it inexplicably gets about three inches longer at the back!

    So, basically the vest top was the only reason my box was over £100. I don't think it represents a range of People Tree items and therefore I'll send it back. I do feel a bit bad about sending it back, as others have said you take your chance but three summer tops is not a good sample of the catelogue I don't think.

    As the necklace was faulty I'll ask for a free post address or get my return postage refunded.

    As I got free postage and will get free return postage on this order I might order another though... Just have! Whoops!:p Fingers crossed for this one!

    Might get Sublime to order me one as she seems to do well!:)
