I went early and queued from about 8:45 at oxford circus London. It wasnt too bad about 15 minute wait and got straight in. Once in it was madness though!! They had a DJ playing Britney Gimme more so loud it was disorientating! There were women falling over and Paparazzi taking pictures of it all. Managed to bag the gold sequin bodice dress--it weighs a tonne n cost £150. I have noticed it on ebay for alot more...*Edited*
I also got the cheetah print silk scarf, and a leather studed corset belt(59.99) prob all ebay unless friends want them first. For me I got the last mens trench in my size!(£99). Some women tried to get me to swap it for a bigger size, she was like "oh go on, im sure it will fit!"....urmm no! I also got a mens deep v neck tee but its got brown tiger/zebra print up the sides , so it was a bit of an impulse buy---dunno when/where im gonna wear that!
I have to say in defense of the stuff it seems really good quality. The trench is really nice material and really thick. The dimensions are nice too, with a really nice sized collar and lots of nice details like the buckles and trim.
The sequin dress weighs a tonne like I said. I only just looked at it and it seems to be made nicely, really thick, with good lining and a good "support" although I would say its not for the big chested.
I was really suprised at the little things like the packaging and the bags. The dress came in this huge red box with "exclusive" written on it, it also came in a special "red carpet" bag with gold handles, a red suede hanger and a thin gold veil bag "over" the dress. All nice touches that you wouldnt expect.
I also have to say before we got in they had models giving out bags with croissant, orange and a free umbrella in--nice touch.
When I left some women was crying on her phone because she had got there and there was nothing left! overreaction! I noticed a few people trying to buy stuff off the sales assistants --- that they were wearing!
Cant really say I have ever experienced a shopping trip like it. It was like Christmas eve x10 and everyone wanted the same thing.
The mens jewelry was rank though. It was like that cheap stuff on a thread chain you get on holiday in spain.lol.
