Especially that jacket. Why is the stuff I see in stores from this brand so frumpy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657915 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 06:42:09 +0000 Sylvie 657915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, my Desigual coat is a size 38 and I wear an S (baggier) or PS (more fitted) in the Nexx blouse, which is one of the few items I think we both own. I might fit into a UK 10 but there's no way I could squeeze into a UK 8. I think you'd be safe in a 38 and could possibly even wear a 36, FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657863 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 04:50:54 +0000 catgirl 657863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, please do check it out and report back on the engineer jacket especially! IKWIM about ordering from China... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657862 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 04:49:04 +0000 rae 657862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, the coat on Ebay is in China... after the weird-colored cat dress incident, I promised myself that I wouldn't buy from China again. :T</p> <p>I think there is a Desigual near me. Maybe it's better to try and scope out some things in person and at least know my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657840 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 04:00:03 +0000 Julie 657840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one of the dresses you linked above. <a href="http://www.desigual.com/en_US/womens-clothing/dresses/prod-elsa-20V2C12" rel="nofollow">http://www.desigual.com/en_US/.....sa-20V2C12</a></p> <p>It reminded me of The Beatles Revolver album cover, and beside, it was the perfect mid-thigh length to go with my jeans. Lovely cotton with just bit of stretchy.</p> <p>Hope you get one, too, Rae. I'm sure you'll love it. Might be a good match for your white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657695 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 23:47:05 +0000 Janet 657695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah! I love that convertible jacket/vest! </p> <p>And those prints are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657692 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 23:41:26 +0000 rae 657692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, lord, I just realized that the engineer jacket converts into a vest and a super cropped jacket.... I think I need a stiff drink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657667 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 22:24:46 +0000 rae 657667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I see! I thought that was all epaulette, but there is a pleat on the sleeve as well. Hrm. Decisions, decisons... maybe I'll email the seller and ask. </p> <p>I think we both have all the colors to do an inspired outfit - we can be color twins if not coat twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657656 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 22:06:10 +0000 catgirl 657656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look puffy in the link you posted, if you zoomin on the photos. Check them out. I'm afraid they may not work for me as an IT. But see what you think - would love your opinion.</p> <p>The coat colors are inspiring me to try a citron/black/grey/cobalt outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657650 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:55:29 +0000 rae 657650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, thanks for the sizing info! I usually wear a 38 IT and 8-10 UK but, Mary, if you're in a Medium, that would probably make me a 42 IT based on their size chart!</p> <p>ETA: Una, do the sleeves look puffy in the Ebay picture? I am not a puff fan, either, but I would be stoked to be coat twins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657647 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:52:05 +0000 MsMary 657647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Desigual dress and although I could get into the S, I ended up buying the M because it fit better. Totally agree they run long in the torso. I bought a fantastic tank at Cirque du Soleil without trying it on, and it turned out to be WAY long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657635 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:43:52 +0000 Sylvie 657635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Desigual runs small relative to "standard American sizing". Their target market is teenagers, so I believe they fit more like a Juniors brand. I take a PS in most brands and size up to an M in Desigual.</p> <p>The necks are usually scooped pretty deeply - a camisole is a must. The torsos run a bit long for a petite, but if I try on 10 pieces, I'll be able to find one that works for me. A non-petite can probably order without trying on and be sure the pieces will fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657634 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:40:17 +0000 catgirl 657634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seriously eying it myself. My only concern is the shoulders and whether they are too poufy. However, the ebay seller claims to accept returns within 30 days, which is huge. Coatdress twins? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/idle-hands-part-deux-desigual-wantsies#post-657632 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:38:44 +0000 rae 657632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, AWESOME, Una!
