Nicole Lewis - clothes online

They are what a friend's husband used to call 'washing dresses' - ie. Clothes worn by our mothers when doing the housework.

Bet they are made from crimplene!

I know what I like about them! They are "frocks"! They're definitely "frocks".

Tizliz I am not sure that I want to know- they are horrendous and I think that her dresses are too short. She resembles a sack of potatoes tied in the middle.

I wondered where Kirsty Allsop bought her clothes

+++!
No it wasn't a joke Petra - I had typed in "trousers for older ladies" and this was top of the list on Google. Everything seemed so cheap.
Their clothes are depressing, except the trousers, I can't wear jeans, especially the tight stretchy ones you get nowadays. I have some flared trousers which are in fashion at the moment, but I want some straight ones to go with my posh new leather jacket. Brown.
Thanks for the suggestions for other websites.
Imagine I wore one of those dresses with the sparklies with a trendy leather jacket .

Am I mistaken or do some of the short sleeve dressed look like something Kirstie Allsop might wear????

It's only twentytwo quid!

I might get this one It's soo pretty. Quite 'lavender and old lace'. I will dig out my old petticoats. I will 'embrace age'.

Someone must be buying them-but who? Are there ladies living in a time-warp somewhere?

Jalima I would not be seen dead in anything in that catalogue- they are horrendous.

We don't know what will be suitable when we're old(er) and need help because we're unable to dress ourselves properly and need more than one change of trousers a day (I am not joking or being flip), so this catalogue is worth bearing in mind for then.
But I don't want to think about it until I have to.

yes I know it's too late

Oh those dresses are so retro! I want one. I want to be my granny.

I think they would look very elegant, worn with high heels. And there's the rub. sad]

I've just got it. It's a joke, isn't it ?
You've stumbled across this site and thought you'd see what the reaction is.
I'm right, arnt I ?

No disagreement here. Those dresses looked like the ones my granny used to buy by mail order and she died 45 years ago. I think that clothing range should also be given a peaceful burial. Also agree that Bon Marché has decent design and their clothes are good value though I'd rather go to the shop and look at them than buy on line. I have several pairs of their cotton crops which are great for holidays. I intend to have a look at their jeans though my sister tells me I'm too old for them. And that's my younger sister.

I was trying to remember the name Bon Marche on another thread - they used to be old-fashioned but now have some quite nice stuff, I bought some jeans and a very nice long black cardigan from there.

Have you tried Bon Marche website they have wide range and are reasonably priced

As ana said they are advertised for elderly ladies and we don't know any of those do we. They are dire aren't they?

Have a look also at George clothing at Asda. They have some very reasonable priced trousers. OK, a lot of them are leggings/jeggings (and oh God, I see there are even 'treggings' now ) which you might not want, but have a scroll through - I'm sure you'll find something there. And like Matalan you can do click and collect if you have an Asda near to you.

'high quality clothing for mature and elderly women'...?

They're awful, awful, awful - and those trousers...

If you want reasonably priced trousers, have a look at the matalan on-line site. You can even click and collect.

Those dresses are the sort my late MiL wore! They were old fashioned then!?

No offence from me either, but seriously that's probably the worst online clothing store I've ever seen. Truly dreadful stuff that I wouldn't be seen dead in

Nunty def: pathetic and unfashionable, describes a person with no taste in clothes, or no money to buy some decent gear. you're a right scruff you nunty
