Advantages: Some gorgeous girls things, great offers especially for new customers.

Disadvantages: They need more imagination with some of the boys range and delivery could do with being much faster.

I come across this website a few years ago when pregnant with my daughter. I had just had a midwife appointment and she had bombarded me with leaflets, books, bags etc and while looking through everything I came across the leaflet advertising vertbaudet clothes.

It had a fantastic offer on the front offering 15 pounds off a 20 pounds spend with free delivery and also a free gift, so I though it seemed a bit too good to be true but put it to the side just encase.

A few weeks later at my twenty week scan we found out we were expecting a girl, so excited of the prospect of having a pink one ..... I was a woman on a mission!!! Shopping shopping and more shopping!!!! Unfortunately though my husband had to go back to work, although that would normally not have stopped me.... But he continues to moan....." why buy things now, wait till we can buy things together" ....and "come on Kelly, I know it's exciting but you know how quickly they grow out of things" and on and on he went.

So as all you lovely mums know when you are pregnant and hormonal, the man should just agree and say yes to everything and if they don't then you tend to go in a little strop......ermmm....well in my case it involved me crying and moaning he did not want a daughter, then I told him I wanted to go home as I was too fat to go shopping anyway....... When I look back now just makes me giggle.

Upon returning home I grabbed as much chocolate and nesquick milkshake (one of my cravings) and went up stairs to curl up and comfort eat!!! After a few Kit Kats, I decided that I would have a look on the internet at some baby girl things; because that's not breaking any stupid rules...and I would only look!!!!!

Well I surfed around for a while and dreamt of all the dresses, shoes, floppy hates etc etc my daughter was going to wear, then I remembered the vertbaudet offer, o I thought ill get that site a look-see.

Firstly the website was easy to use and is all broken down in categories

Maternity wear
Nursery
Newborn
Baby girl
Baby boy
Girls Boy
Homes collections
Sale

Well as soon as I started looking at the little outfits and dresses I just fell in love, they were so cute, with floral designs, and matching headbands, funny little bikinis, gorgeous shoes, just loads of the most gorgeous stuff , before I could stop myself I was making a list of all the things I wanted, even coming up with good reasons to buy the things for e.g. She defiantly needed a couple of going outfits, and what girl can live without her bikini and she was due in the summer, so she'd get loads of wear out of it, and she needed shoes and sandals .....oh my goodness when I look back now it makes me realise I was deranged especially now when I think of how frugal I am and also I was already a mummy, so I should have know better, but I'm afraid the idea of pink and dresses got the better of me.

So I thought to myself I can always use that special offer I had received in my mummy to be pack, so I went and hunted it out and I ordered two gorgeous outfits and spent a fiver. At that price my hubby could not moan....could he????

Well the delivery was a bit of a disappointment when I ordered as I saw that it said delivery within 7-10 days and as promised ten days later, a lovely lady knocked on my door with a parcel.

I was so chuffed with the outfits they were gorgeous, and also I liked the fact they were different to the normal high street stuff that I had been looking at and seen every baby girl looking the same in the same Next outfits.

The best thing though was that my free gift was great, it was a lovely bear rug/blanket, all white and fluffy and I was quite taken back that I had received such a beautiful present.

Anyway a few months later Isabella Mae was born and I was so excited when she got a little bigger and could fit into her outfits, the only thing I would warn though, is being a French website seems to mean that the sizes of the clothes come slightly smaller than usual, so although at the that time it did not matter that much, the times since I tend to go a size bigger, and that tends to be about right, although my daughter is quite petite anyway, unlike her mother.

The always have a sale on and I must admit they tend to be good value, and often there are bargains to be had.

I must admit though before I buy anything from their website, I always go onto hotukdeals.co.uk and check out if there are any voucher codes valid to be used, it's been a great help, as they tend to always have a few codes in circulation.

Overall I would say that this site offers some brilliant unique outfits, that you won't see on every baby girl on town, and although I do not think they are cheap, they certainly are not too expensive, although like I said before I always try and get some money knocked off through the codes.

Now the only other downside from this company other than the wait of delivery is in my opinion their boy's clothes are not as nice as their girls, they are getting better and this season has not been too bad, but I still think they have quite a way to go.

Over the years though I have read loads of reviews and comments on money saving expert and hot uk deals saying their customer service is not very good, but I have to admit I use them probably 3-4 times a year and I have never had any bad experiences in four year, I may just be lucky...but I can only go on experience and that is very good.
I think this website is great for a bargain and I would highly recommend it to all.

Summary: Nice french website, with bargains and unique items, althou still room for improvement.
