Eris Apparel verdict
Mar. 12th, 2008 05:21 pm1. Blouse: a bit snug in the armholes, but fits perfectly at the chest. I'd swear there's an inch more of ease at the waist and hips than the size chart says, though. It doesn't look orders of magnitude better on me than the tops I recently got at NY&CO (which are gathered at the waist, so more hourglassy than their usual), but man, it's still a damn cheap top any way you look at it! Love the colour, like the fit. I'll keep it.
2. Suit jacket: again, a bit snug in the armholes. Otherwise, it is PERFECT. Simply perfect. Not so tight in the armholes that I can't wear a blouse underneath. Keeping it!
3. Trousers: awful. Too tight for my hefty thighs. Side pockets are a BIG NO-NO for a really good trouser fit. They should have known that. Women do not need side pockets on suit trousers. These pants are awful, but hey, they never claimed to be experts at fitting the lower half of the female body there. I will exchange them for a pencil skirt.
