Has anyone ever ordered from Silk Fred? Its heavily promoted on FB which puts me off for some reason.

I quite like this

although blouses have a tendency to look awful on me, so it probably wouldn't work anyway.

I really like that. It reminds me of the print on a swimming costume that I used to have, and loved. I imagine you’ll do it up a bit more?!

I think I want this dress for work. (It has sleeves!) Has anybody here tried one of these Miracle Dresses before? They’re Hobbs sort of prices. Are they flattering, do we think? Might be too long on me. Apparently they’re made of very thick jersey.

That looks lovely.

I’m very tempted by this.

Did you get the dress Ella? I really like it, so long as it's not the calf length that is everywhere just now and I find so unflattering.

No, I’m still debating it because I do think it would need to be taken up, with my stumpy legs.

Kleio, there's a Facebook group called "Collectif Clothing Buy Sell Swap" and Pearls come up occasionally on that.

I also would like to hear what Ella's dress is like if she gets it, and I love that jumper, Pip.

I'm a bit late to this Smal, but I've ordered from Silk Fred a few times and their stuff has been nice.

Thanks Pov. I didn't order it in the end because I've a terrible track record with blouses and they never fit, but their stuff quite often catches my eye so its good to know its worth a try.

Did you get the dress Ella? I have a couple of things from Winser - a lovely colour blocked jumper and a swishy jersey dress, but I've never had anything from their Miracle range, as it's generally a shape that just doesn't flatter me. Lucy Worsley often wears their dresses, though, if you want to see them in outside a posed studio photo (there must be lots of videos of her up on youtube?).

I honestly can't work out if this is nice or not. Bit mumsy?

The yellow dress obsessed continues unabated :ella:

I’m not sure on the neckline, but I like the print.

I like these, both from Sainsburys. Stupidly, I missed the 25% off deal, and the shirt is sold out, and exactly the kind of thing my husband recently told me he hates. But I’m telling you guys anyway.

The shoes are lovely, Pip. I may be of a similar mind to your husband on the shirt, but believe you know what suits you, so will say no more. :))

I like small's dress too, though the model's stance in making me laugh.
