Ooh, I see what you did there! and I agree with what you say. Going off at a tangent here, could you imagine if MW was a start up company over here and she went on Dragon's Den looking for investment? They'd rip her to bits! They'd tell her that the stuff was overpriced, the colours were drab, the garments were unwearable etc etc, and she'd be sent off with a flea in her ear. You wonder how they ever got their breaks. With the exception of Michele Hope - The exclusive/faux designer shite is all from the US and Canada. We've got our Ruthie and Gok, but as they're household names and haven't had to search for that big break. Back to Dragon's Den - I believe that Sara Davies has links to QVC and would probably be wise to invest in one of these fashion entrepeneurs as she'd know that a lot of the audience will believe all the hype and will basically buy anything if you tell them it's posh and exclusive!

Sara has made a mint in the craft world but I can't see her doing well in the fashion world. She dresses like my Auntie Isa, matronly in the extreme.

It's the latest take on the must have denim jacket & looks dead daft.

For the grown ups who don't spend their days watching Cbeebies, here's a picture of the Twirlywoos, I always think of them when I see one of our Marla's dresses. I like lagenlook clothes but they look better on a more voluptuous body than mine.

This made me laugh so much. All I can think of now is Melissa as Toodaloo. Or, more likely, The Very Important Lady.

I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that she can open doors to getting products on to the shopping channels but not actually contributing to designs - it would be about the business side of things only.

Does the exalted Marla ever come over on video link from the US? Those that have bought where are items made? Daft question I know, same country that exported COVID.

I have one piece of MW, bought from the outlet shop. Made in China(of course!)

Blimey, that's another reason not to buy her stuff. They bang on about her home grown business and her garage. Ok, I know now that the business has taken off, that's no longer viable but to have the stuff made in China...sod off. Least Kimmy's stuff is made in Canada still.

Re the matching (?) jacket.

Colour options:

This is very thin material. Yes its viscose / elastene, but you can see the hanger through the fabric on the cloud option, and also the pockets show through, so clearly needs an underslip.

“Hand wash -cold”. After one wear I’d throw it into the laundry basket, where it would lurk at the bottom for months.
The neckline is too high for me - slash, boat & soft V necklines are more flattering to my face.

Mum used to make dresses for herself and she always put in bust darts. If she wanted a drape-y look from under the bust she would cut on the bias or insert godets, to give the “swish” without having acres of spare fabric. Spare fabric that just hangs will flap and drop, creating an uneven hem.

Yes Eric’s Mum but the difference is your Mum knew about cut and construction of garments where ‘House of Marla’ doesn’t. All the flare on this latest offering is on the side seams causing the hem to drop at the sides and that will get worse as it is worn.They will be tripping over the hem before long.
The fabric is of the type to show every lump and bump especially in the light shades, notice the Flint is wearing black.The slim thigh trousers with the flared hem modelled by someone with ample thighs, poor lass was just wanting the floor to open up and swallow her.She must have been wearing a thong or no knicks.But who am I to criticise ?the Marla luvvies are out giving it 5 stars!!More please Marla lovexxxxxxx —-wait until they fall flat on their faces as they trip over those hems.

The fact is to make clothing on that level is expensive and very time consuming. MW is expensive but these items are run up in minutes not hours.

Gosh just seen the hem on the "cloud" colour. Looks like my three year old granddaughter and her one year old sister had a go at sewing this "item"

Puckering on the hems of several of the demo dresses. Very thin fabric - you can see the models' bra-lines and where the material is doubled over (pockets, hem etc) it's noticeably opaque so you definitely need something underneath. So not quality or value - convenience?

I still want to see the insides of this "premium" brand to make up for what I see on the outside.
