Wondering if other Gransnet members are missing Country Casuals? It was my 'go to' store for Posh Frocks and seems to have been unique in offering dresses that were longer than 'on the knee'. Have just bought new one from ebay but wondering if any technical expert can tell me how to view old versions of the CC website to try to identify jackets and accessories that were intended to co-ordinate with the dress I have found? Then I may be able to make other ebay/preloved/gumtree purchases. The link from the Austin Reed Website just says that the CC name has been sold and an announcement will be made shortly. Any suggestions much appreciated.

They sell Country Casuals on line now. here is the link. They have some rather nice tops. I'm glad you reminded me about CC, I used to buy loads from them when they had a shop in Carlisle city centre.

Alexon was my favourite for well priced classics that stood the test of time. If we lose any more like this we will all end up in Primark ?

I loved Alexon trousers - they were always a good fit for me.

Popped into my local EWM last week (I'm always hopeful their cashmere will be further reduced) and they stock a small amount on CC clothes. I was quite surprised and the staff said they'd had signs in the window for a while but I don't think there has been much publicity.

I miss CC so much. Admittedly I used to buy sale items only online, then have them delivered to my local shop for free (yes I know!) but now I miss them for all my dressy items.

Perhaps this a business opportunity for someone. There are loads of us out there and although I mainly dress for the allotment I do like to smarten up sometimes!

Yes Cornishgirl I had noticed that after popping into our local EWM, they had quite a range of Country Casual, some were ok but a lot seemed a bit on the frumpy side.
