Mantary and White Stuff

Just had an email to say my order is on its way

I love Mantaray and Fatface - but I must stop buying blue and white striped tops! I have bought two more in the last two weeks!

I have never heard of Mantaray but keen to have a look. I like Whitestuff , Fatface, ( but agree very overpriced ! ) Joules ( too many harbour tops, must stop buying !) and Seasalt. Have got some nice things from Mint Velvet too in their sale.

Weirdly enough, when I was about 6 , I was slightly obsessed with manta rays.

I think Mantaray is an odd choice of name for a fashion outlet.

Large scary looking, flappy things! Not an image I care to emulate.

Sometimes gets things done though...…

merlot I hovered over that one - it’s very pretty and a lovely colour

Mantary - and I think it’s only available at Debenhams so not safe now I should think.

I wear Fat Face and White Stuf but have never heard of Mantery / Mantaray / Mantary ?

This one.

Which one merlot?

I do find Mantary colours fade in the wash and the fabric and fit isn't as good as White Stuff which seems to last forever.

I like Fat Face and White Stuff - usually buy their sale knockdowns as they are a bit pricey.

Just bought a top from Mantaray!!

Lily my friend buys a lot of clothes from Tillets. They tend to be loose “flowy” tops and look good on her as she is quite tall. I’m “short and stout “ so they tend to swamp me.

A couple of people have remarked on Fatface being expensive. I tend to buy from these companies at sale time although Mantaray prices are not too bad generally.
Then again I tend to buy most of my clothes from sales.

Oh thanks, will take a peek. Tillets is worth joining if you like big clothes and a laugh and Lagenlook is less silly.

This might sound odd but has anyone tried Damart? They are no longer long johns and vests. There was a brochure of theirs with the Sunday papers and the stuff is lovely. I have had two pairs of summer trousers and they are great. I ordered a lovely top yesterday. Reasonable prices and free delivery.

Yes, Lily65, I'm not ashamed to be a granny, and sometimes I have to say, "Well, maybe it seems a bit grannyish but after all, I've been a granny for 19 years!" All the same, I do welcome my daughters' views on what looks frumpy. At the same time, my daughters get a bit alarmed if I choose clothes too similar to theirs, as it makes them feel old-fashioned!

grannyticktock, I was going to use the phrase " granny" which my son uses for any item of clothing which is frumpy. I destisted for fear of attack............*peeks at offer mentioned by maryeliza*

Fat Face seems very expensive to me too.

Well just damn you Lily new tops ordered

Love Mantaray. Like Fat Face but very expensive. Don’t know White Stuff.

Looking at the tops now some in the sale - free delivery if spend over £50 - oh dear

Not only do I like Mantaray, my two daughters (early 40s) like it too, so it's certainly not "grannyish" (the term one daughter uses to describe anythingin my life - clothes, makeup, soft furnishings - that she thinks is too old-fashioned).

I love Mantaray and White Stuff. Fat face might be worth looking at as well.
These brands are comfortable to wear and wash well.

OK, I'm so glad because nobody likes a fuddy.

I have bought Mantery maxi dresses in the summer and I’m not fuddy duddy
