I was always going to post a second review on House of CB but did not expect it to be so soon. My first post was entitled "give it a try".
The reason ive chosen to post it now is, I have received my 2nd parcel and impressively I received it ahead of the revised date which is always a bonus. As before, the packaging, quality etc were faultless. My dress of choice was the Tahne black lace cut out dress. I can only describe this dress as demure with a hint of sexiness. The length is just past the knee and has full length sleeves which is classy and sophisticated especially for the slightly mature lady. But then the beautifully styled backless element gives it that touch of sexiness. I can see me wearing this dress in a candle lit restaurant on date night with the hubby. I have just one small problem with the dress it fits like a glove everywhere except the hips. It comes up a cm or two, too big. Not enough to be glaringly obvious but enough to not make me feel 100% confident. I love the dress too much to return it so I will pay the few pounds extra it will cost to have it adjusted.
Right the other reason I needed to do a post today was this, I mentioned in my first post, of all the items I had fallen in love with the only think out of stock was a coat. This coat had been reduced so I was not expecting it to be restocked so you can imagine my surprise when I received an email from HOCB that advised me to keep checking in, particularly on a Monday which is obviously when they update the system. I don't know what possessed me but I checked the stock levels yesterday (Wednesday) just a day after first being told it was out of stock so imagine my delight when I saw it was available! So ladies I am now awaiting delivery of the camel 3/4 coat which I will be able to wear with a multitude of outfits. I won't post a review if it's great but if I experience problems I'll do a post as I think it's only fare that readers receive a balanced review from me. My overall opinion of HOCB including their customer service is they are fantastic and at this stage faultless. The only reason I haven't given them a 5 star today is because I need to get my dress tapered slightly but I reckon that's more because of my small hips than any design fault. (June 2017)
