Who the heck is continually buying into all this?

At midnight Ann introducing the hour says Melissa Marla Wynne is what we are talking about.
For anybody out there not familiar with the brand what is it, because we just love it!

She is definitely the person that brings us really good collection based dressing.
She is a New York based designer.
Has very clean handwriting, nothing kind of over designed, nothing tricksy.
Yes nothing tricksy! Always a purpose to her kind of designs.
But basically what we showcased at 9 was the best of her collection, all the pieces that go together and of course Todays Special Value.

Oh and according to Melissa, Marla has really knocked it out of the park!!!

Overpriced, yes - not to everyone’s taste , yes, but at least at the start her designs were a bit different from Kimmy and Renee but this is like something you would buy from Asda to wear under your coat going for a walk or around the house and you certainly wouldn’t be paying this price.

Maybe I’m missing something and it will wash well and keep its shape and look stunning for years. Somehow don’t think so.

I just don’t get it. The fabrics are without a doubt of a better quality than most of QVCs fare.However….
As someone who was always super slim now that I’m in my 50s - and prob the target market- I’m apple shaped with a tummy that I want to go away or at least disguise!
I can honestly say that at 5’4 I would look like a sack of spuds in most of MWs offerings.
Why are the tops always so ‘blocky’, stiff and short at the front - right where most middle aged women’s danger area lies.
Chloe has a lovely figure but she looks really weighty in the TSV and as Melissa is busty with slim limbs she always looks like an egg on legs.
I once fell for the balloon dress hype. Man was that a mistake.
Anyone else think MW’s range is a case of the emperor’s clothes?

Most definitely yes as was Yong Kim and now Marla Wynne.

In the last week, I’ve bought two lovely jumpers from M&S for nearly £10 less than the price inc P&P of one of these “creations”. I do have 20% off M&S at the moment but even full price, one of them was just £25.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

I see Allison Hammond is launching her own range of clothes. Obviously a slot on morning TV is a license to print money.

At least she will have a USP of plus sizes

 

[Dream Girl]

This sweater from M&S is much more me than the TSV offering.
Can be ordered with free to store next day delivery plus if unsuitable can be returned to store within 30 days free all for £15.

How funny! I bought that one as well! There are some lovely little tops in that £15 range.

I bought the animal print for mum for her birthday end of last year, now only left in an oatmeal option and then the spotted one for Christmas.

I really like it. It’s fairly thin but not meant to be a heavyweight winter jumper. I will wear it as I do the others I have bought the last year or so (plain colours and patterns): instead of a t-shirt when something warmer is needed, sometimes under another top or open cardi/jacket. They get a bit of a “brushed” look in time but in my experience, don’t lose shape or look shabby.

Not so much with these, but I am finding M&S jumper sizing hit and miss at the moment so will often get two sizes to try (and of course, unlike QVC, you don’t have to pay two lots of P&P for that!). Depends whether you want the looser or more fitted look. It seems their current range of bigger/heavier jumpers are designed to be baggy but they just looked wrong on me so I went a smaller size in most cases. If you read the reviews, quite a lot are saying they would normally buy Medium but had to get Small (or XS!) for their preferred fit. As I say, not so much with the £15 ones in question.

Oops, went on a bit there!

Thanks for your helpful reply, really appreciated.
Hope someone gets the hint on the stripe one before it sells out.

It reminds me of stuff from C&A. I’m not young and I wouldn’t wear it because In my opinion it’s ageing.Ann looks terrible in it. Melissa described it as elegant.

Melissa would probably describe a black plastic bin bag as elegant if it had MW stamped on it.

I thought she mentioned handwriting! What it's got to do with a baggy old jumper I haven't a clue

That's lovely and a great price too

She was really ott about the diamond quilted gilet. EVERYONE should have this piece and at £115 reasonably priced. Some woman bought 2...2

Municipal Waste?! I reckon a bin bag would be more chic than some of the trash she sells

I heard Melissa inform Ann that she has bought 24 sets of Marla's two pack vest tops, Ann was gobsmacked and said "really"??. Yes, I wear one nearly every day said Melissa happily. So she should because at almost £50 incl. delivery, that works out at £1,200 for polyester vests! Must be crazy or super rich..or both.

Yes right from the freebie MW store.
