My Warehouse Wish List |
Silk Bird Print Dress
Diamond Oversize Bag
Triple Lock Purse
Warehouse appeared on the British highstreet 35 years ago when it opened its first store in London in 1976 with the aim of making fashion accessible to all. I’ve always found Warehouse great for quality fashion staples as well as the occasional stand-out piece. A few years ago a large portion of my wardrobe came from them, however I’ve found recently their sizing has grown increasingly erratic and the stores can be a little drab and uninspiring.
Soon
I had compiled a lengthy wish list of items. I narrowed it down to a few pieces
and added them to my basket. I was disappointed that half way through the
checkout I was told several of them weren’t available and were removed from the
order. Because I spent over £75 I qualified for free next day delivery
(normally £4.99), so I had my parcel before lunch time the very next day- an
unexpected bonus! Everything was really well packaged, either neatly folded in
individual bags or delivered hanging with a plastic cover. I was impressed that
even the belt buckle on a skirt I ordered had been carefully wrapped in tissue
paper.
The
appearance and quality of the two dresses and skirt I ordered was excellent,
fabrics felt luxurious and hung beautifully and little finishing touches like
brass buttons or exposed zips were lovely, but once again inconsistent sizing
let the clothes down. One dress, a stunning pale pink lace shift –very Jackie
O!- fit snuggly, yet the silk bird print dress I had ordered in the same size totally
hung off me, leaving me unsure whether to risk alterations or simply return, a
shame as I absolutely loved everything I ordered.
