The hit first. I picked up the EF top from style exchange via amiable who bought it from Susie (phew, that was a mouthful!). I think this gorgeous top has finally found it's permanent home. It fits perfectly. It's light as a feather. It's breezy. It's fluid (yay!) and has gorgeous trim around the edges. And it has arm coverage, too! Total score!! The bright color is right up my alley, too.

Now, on to the miss. I'm visiting family and roasting in the heat (though it has cooled off a bit). I ordered the drapey EF dress Shannon and amiable had good luck with but as we say on ylf - it did NOT get me. Not sure if I needed a petite or size down but the fit was not flattering on me at all. My takeaway is that I need some sort of darting even if the piece is looser. Rusty ebay user here bought it without the option to return. So it's on style exchange for anyone that may be interested.

EF is gorgeous stuff but really hard to get right for this newbie to drape and flow. Maybe if should limit my EF buys to bricks and mortar stores or at least vendors with more generous (as in, existing) return policies.

As Angie says, onward!
