MarlaWynne TSV 5/4/19

There is a MarlaWynne TSV on Friday 5th April

Switch off the Q day me thinks

Even on TSV it will be out of budget methinks. I don't need clothes anyway. I'm getting a bit sensible in my old age.

No!!!! Never become sensible. It's just no fun.

I love dusters and I've hankered after MW for ages but they cost too much. As a very "feel the cold" person I wear cardis all year round. If it's nice and good quality I might look. It will probably be "shoot peas through" fabric and not nice (hopefully!). I'd love a nice quality knit, maybe a paprika or mustard colour or a pale sage, just above my knees and maybe a slight fluted cuff. Chances??

if you like Marlawynne but find the prices steep Ebay have loads of stuff for a fraction of the price often new

Duster cardigans/coats are not my thing but agree with the advice re ebay for most stuff QVC sell.

Just shows what the mark up is originally when people can buy from the QVC outlet stores and still be able to make a profit re selling on ebay

Pleats? Why oh why?

I love dusters and have quite a few, I’ll probably buy this.

Possible but not if it's got huge slits at the side.

I've never had one, but always wondered what the point of them are?

Also, are they called 'Dusters' cos they may drag on the floor & kick up dust/dust the floor, or because they are made out of flimsy duster type material? Sorry if sounds rude/obtuse, I've genuinely never worn them or looked in to them. I can see them as perhaps a beach cover, or summer 'throw over a nightie thing' if made of light cotton?

They have to be the right length for me, just knee/below and I like them in the warmer fabric. Can't say they are that smart to wear out but for wearing in the house. Too big or slouchy though and they look like a dressing gown so don't size up.

Thanks. The pleats! on her offering don't look right for me.

Looks a bit like that old fashioned pointelle but will need to have a closer look.

Its a cardi for only standing up in. And the sleeves look as though they will stretch longer after a wash, so even if its a tenner I wouldn't buy it.

'A duster is a light, loose-fitting long coat. The original dusters were full-length, light-coloured canvas or linen coats worn by horsemen to protect their clothing from trail dust'. Thanks Wiki!

A popular 'duster' coat in the 50's was made in a lightweight material in pastel colours, came out in an A line (swing fashion) from the shoulders - had 3/4 sleeves, generally big pockets and one or two large buttons at the front. Lots of photos exist with Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn wearing the style.
