    I entered the competition. Because of my age, I am not the sort of person that she was hoping would enter, but I do have a daughter of the age and size of people that she is aiming at. I entered hoping to win the prize for my daughter and I am sure that a lot of my daughter's friends would have admired her outfit and asked where she got it, if I had won and she was wearing it. I might previously have considered purchasing something for my daughter from her, but this thread has put me off that idea. She might find she loses potential customers who are also in a similar situation.

    She definitely was there previously, she is the manager of TopShop in Cardiff. That's why when I posted this thread I mentioned it. Maybe she received a bollocking from TopShop head office for helping to promote a rival, and decided to delete her Twitter account :rotfl:
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    She doesn't want you following in the hope of seeing something nice there for the girl that you love... :rotfl:

    Pretty sure my hubby wouldn't want to see me in that.... Oh. Wait. Doesn't matter. Probably wouldn't fit me anyway :rotfl:

    Yes I think it is. From what I can see in the pictures she has used a VERY basic pattern (which I would consider a beginner's pattern as I can't see any darts etc) to make that 2 piece. IMHO it could be cut out and run up on a machine in a couple of hours easily :)
    Growing old is unavoidable. However, growing up is still optional.

    My thoughts exactly Blue Nile - and I can't even sew! But if I were to try I'd make something like this my first attempt. It's very basic and those shorts look like they wouldn't survive the first wash!

    . Personally, I think it's just a case of ignoring and moving on.

    I agree with this.
