    Nice finds dolly84

    Pollycat can you do :j yet?

    I really do wish the chazza fairy would stop tantalising me with lovely summer dresses. Today it was a Matthew Williamson strappy maxi dress with a proper bra thingy in the bodice so it could be worn strapless or with the thin straps deployed. BNWT, dark grey with brightly coloured abstract flowers on the jersey fabric and priced at £10. Then a Miss Selfridge lightweight empire line, denim sundress, also maxi length and with white embroidery on the bodice and hem. BNWT and £8.50.

    !!! I resisted both !!! *proud*

    However, probably inspired by the glorious sunshine this afty I did buy a pair of M & S white jeans, as new and reduced to half price £1.90. I know that these normally sell at £39.95 in M & S as I have several pairs in this exact style already. First pair bought in the M & S sale at half price and the rest chased up in various chazzas cos I like them so much :)

    Speaking as someone built using an icecreamscoop, I am intrigued that a garment exists
    with a proper bra thingy in the bodice so it could be worn strapless
    As every time I've worn anything strapless it has been lined, boned, carefully fastened & under some pressure. (Ah, happy memories!)

    I think the chazza fairy has your number, and size, just hasn't quite twigged your wardrobe...
    Enjoy it!

    Well, the chazza fairy continues his/her mission to make me buy even more dresses :o Today it was a Hobbs BNWT jersey dress in a black and ivory pattern. Wrap over stylee with ties that fasten round the back. The Hobbs tag indicates that the original price was £99 but it was reduced in the Hobbs sale to £39. Price to me in the RSPCA shop.....£6 :j Also in the same shop I got a long sleeved silky shirt with a longer back than front in a black/dark green/turquoise/purple pattern...priced at £2. I did try on a Lipsy skirt, also priced at £2, but it did not spark joy so I left that.....

    Do any people have luck in larger sizes? Although I get a few bits most things are for the thinner lady.

    I regularly see things I like in sizes 18, 20 and 22 but I don't remember anything bigger than that but the 20's and 22's are probably not in as great supply as 12's and 14's.

    Some of the larger sizes depend on geography - a cs drawing on a trendy city hinterland will probably not get the bigger sizes plus various cs shops have internal agreements that over a certain size goes to a sub-branch elsewhere. If you think that's happening, do ask!

    In fairness we gave a large bag of toys to a local cs to recognise one of them at its sister shop in another town - I don't think it was courtesy, I think they were working the regional demographics.
