I have reports. Ordered stuff to try and sadly mostly not right.
Everything in 18/XL or L. I'm very curvy hourglass, wide shoulders. A bit over 5'7", 172 ish.
Alix Chanterelle Check Trousers. Beautiful colours, fabric. I almost kept these, but changed mind. First time I've tried Alix. Flattering cut, comfortable. But just a bit short. These are an autumn/winter fabric, so short is silly, especially where I live with proper winters. Ok with boots, but as soon as sit down, flesh exposed. I'd have kept them if they'd been two inches longer. Possibly if they'd been lined. Or half the price. But at €255.00 they'd have to be properly perfect in every way.
Cotton Short Sleeve Circular Tee (in L), coal. This is much nicer than you'd guess from the photos. A really interesting, attractive cut and useful colour. To look good on me it'd need to have a wider neck, more slash/boat, and it would need to be two inches longer. It's a shorter top, which is useful with the higher waister trouser and skirt styles, but still too short on me. But if you have neater shoulders (which you are almost certain to) and are shorter, especially shorter in the body, it'd be great. Nice over generous bust but would probably be good on flatter chest too.
Lys Floral Print Shirt. Fabric and pattern as gorgeous as appear in photos. But has a lot of gather around shoulders, neck, which look ludicrous on me. Sort of frilly tent effect. If you have slighter shoulders and a figure which can take frilly gathery looks, this is a beautiful blouse.
Wool Tencel High Neck Tee | Dark Green. Almost kept this too. Lovely colour, lovely feel. I am very sensitive to wool but could happily have worn this against skin. But it would only really be useful for layering, since too see-through and not quite flattering enough to wear on own. And for layering it's a bit thick and not silky enough. I have thick silk tops which I wear under jumpers and which don't add bulk. On the other hand this has a nice neck for sticking up out of jumpers. If I had a jumper which it went with and looked nice under, I would have kept it. Good and long.
Bold Floral Wool Scarf | Anthracite/Multi. This is beautiful and I'm keeping it, even though I can't figure out what to wear it with. Sooner or later something will turn up, I guess, since the colours suit me.
I'm wondering about trying the neat cardigan in brown, which might look nice with the scarf. Does anyone have the cardie? What do you wear under? Perhaps I should keep the green high neck tee for the purpose. Or possibly the plain woollen jumper in brown.
