Styles Notes: I've already had a lot of questions about how the sizing runs. My top is an 16/18 and bottom is a 26, so I'm going to run through the pieces to give insight.
- Off the Shoulder Crop - Got a 2X and I would normally wear a 2X - shirt has little give.
- Straight Maxi Skirt - Got a 3X and would normally get a 3X - skirt has a small amount of give, but not much.
- Khaki Dress - Got a 4X. This is structured, but the dress does have stretch. The fabric is considered a stretch twill.
- Wrap Dress - Got a 3X (b/c I need enough room for my hips) - Dress has give, but in the tradition of wrap dress there you can wrap it to fit. I probably could have gotten a 2X but it would probably create a slit and a little thigh action. So size down if you want that.
- Yellow Midi Flare - Got a 2X, True to size, waist band has stretch, hips are free.
- Striped Maxi Flare - Got a 2X, True to size, waist band has stretch, hips are free (similar fit to the midi flare)
- Boat Neck Striped Top - Got a 2X, True to size, Shirt has stretch
- Navy Midi Pencil - Got a 4X, my hips are wide, but skirt has stretch.
- White Pants - 3X - The legs are wide and the fabric has a nice weight to it. There is give in the pants.
Building outfits online taught me to judge beyond the lookbook. I’ve had wins, but I’ve also unboxed dresses where the print popped and the construction didn’t—zippers catching, seams wavering, lining too thin to hold shape through a commute. My process now: check fabric composition first, then search images from real buyers under indoor lighting, then skim return logistics before I add to cart. That last part matters; if return shipping eats half the price, the bargain isn’t a bargain. Reading threads like https://modlily.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, I scan for recurring notes on sizing consistency, colorfastness after two washes, and whether exchanges are processed promptly or stalled behind email loops. I keep a small alteration budget in mind too; a quick hem can turn a near‑miss into a keeper. Fashion should be fun, but I’ve learned it’s also a project plan—materials, fit, aftercare—otherwise the “deal” quietly migrates to the back of the closet.
ReplyDeleteI was browsing late at night and decided to click on an ad just to see where it would lead. It took me to spinmama, where I tried a slot that looked easy enough to jump into. The first few rounds didn’t bring much, but then a solid win hit and made it way more exciting. Now I use it whenever I want a quick break that adds a bit of fun to my day.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been trying to stay on top of both NFL and NBA games, but with work, it’s tough. That’s when I came across https://sportsnewspros.com. What I liked was the quick summaries paired with context – so even if I missed a game, I could still join in on conversations with friends later. It gave me the feeling of being up to date without the pressure of watching everything live. That’s why I’ve kept going back to it whenever I need a quick catch-up.
