Charmaine | Elegant Pocket Dress

Read the whole page about how they pick things before I ordered anything. Standing in my kitchen, tea went cold. Nobody has ever just told me what they check for. So when I got the dress and the armhole was cut the way they said it would be, I wasn't surprised, I was relieved. Ordered a second one for my sister.

Ordered at almost ten at night which is not like me. It's the first thing I've bought online in a year that I didn't immediately regret. The waist doesn't dig in when I sit down at my desk, which sounds like a small thing and is not a small thing.

I measured before I ordered, which I never do, because the chart actually gave measurements instead of just S M L. Got the 1X and it was right the first time. No going back and forth, no return label. It's soft, it's warm, it doesn't cling anywhere. Customer support was nice and nobody has spammed me with emails since, which honestly matters to me as much as the sweater does.

I need a large in pants and a 2X on top, which means I basically never buy sets and I have made peace with it. This top fit across the bust WITHOUT gaping at the buttons. I read that sentence back and it sounds like nothing. It is not nothing. I've been shopping for thirty years and this is the second time.

I have been buying clothes for fifty years and the thing nobody says out loud is that the fabric got worse. Thin, and you can feel it the second you pick it up. This is not that. It has some weight to it, the seams are finished properly on the inside, and after two washes it still hangs the way it did. Sleeves were a touch long but my daughter can take them up. I would like to see it in a navy.

Bought one shirt last time. Wore it later to a thing at my sister's and my mother in law asked where it was from, which never happens. Went back and got the olive. I have never bought two of the same shirt in my life. The sleeve is the whole reason, it's short but it sits ON the arm instead of cutting into it, and I haven't been able to wear a short sleeve in years. Not see through either, I checked in the sun on the porch.

Ok so the green was already sold out in my size which annoyed me but the black is honestly better. I wear it with jeans, I wear it to work, I wore it to my nephews graduation. Washed it twice already and it hasn't gone weird. If you're between sizes I'd say go with the bigger one, the shoulders run narrow.

Ordered four, kept two. The returns were painless which is the only reason I'm writing this — I have three things sitting in my hall right now from another company that I can't face dealing with. The trousers were lovely. The cardigan was thinner than I expected from the picture, not bad, just thinner. Would order again and probably will.

I ordered this because of the second photo. One of the women modeling it actually has a stomach and I could see what the fabric does there instead of guessing. That's it, that's the review. More companies should do that.

Four pieces and the total was less than what I paid for one pair of trousers last spring that I have worn TWICE. No surprise shipping charge at the end which I appreciate more than I can say. The striped top is my favorite, I've basically lived in it. My daughter tried to take it.
