If it just doesn't fit, that's different.<br />There are some larger sizes on e-bay. I've never bought any e-bay clothes!</p> <p>Sveta, I did an on-line chat and the SA just said, sorry, we don't expect any more in. But the only way I was able to get the black was that I re-checked several times--each time, progressively smaller sizes had been added to inventory, I'm assuming from returns. So maybe it's possible. I asked if&nbsp;I could be on&nbsp;were a waiting list but didn't get a bite on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-didnt-work-and-hewi-escape#post-1421725 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:16:21 +0000 Sveta 1421725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This AP dress in purple is very lovely...fingers crossed it may come back in your size. Have you tried to call the store - sometimes they can find the size even if it is not online. I would be sorely tempted by this purple beauty myself but it is a bit too short for me :-(<br />Love the shoes but SOO hear you on too pointy toe. This is my regular problem - pointy toes just do not fit well my square toe box. I so love how pointy toes look but I selfishly wish they go out of style soon as they just did not work for me and I feel myself very unstylish in other toe shapes now with all those lovely pointy toes aroung :-(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-didnt-work-and-hewi-escape#post-1421719 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:09:41 +0000 Suz 1421719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh...I can imagine that Adrianna pansy dress looking wonderful on you. Have you tried ebay? It's worth stalking down if you can find.</p> <p>I'm intrigued by those shoes, too. Very interesting --could be a good combo of comfort and style for the right person. Hmmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-didnt-work-and-hewi-escape#post-1421708 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:52:04 +0000 Alassë 1421708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dresses you show look lovely.&nbsp;You could hem the Anthro dress - just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-didnt-work-and-hewi-escape#post-1421702 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:47:03 +0000 unfrumped 1421702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the anti-score-- some things I tried&nbsp;in Dec&nbsp;that didn't work but maybe are part of learning what does, and may include items someone else may be interested in:</p> <p>AT jumpsuit--yes, that whole idea may have been bad. Was for dressy capsule. The appeal for me is that they are typically high-waisted but with some drape and taper in the legs. But, I can never manage the usual sleeveless and/or V-neck styles.&nbsp; As seen in the Find, this one amazingly had&nbsp; sleeves and high neck, which of course may be sort of the anti-jumpsuit.&nbsp;&nbsp; No pics, but it actually looked about on target from the front, was a tad skimpy in the rear, and the quality was so-so, and overall didn't give the look desired. I think it helped to try it, and leads me back to separates.</p> <p>Next, tried these EF flats in this putty color for spring. They ARE very soft, but the toe is too pointy for me, and the cuff was too loose, and I think this cuff width doesn't work for my ankles as well as narrower strap. But someone might want to try for the soft leather, flat style.</p> <p>Next, not shown because it sold out so no Find, was an AT tuxedo-style long black skirt. I had tried it to see if it would be dressy-capsule-classic with some longevity.&nbsp;&nbsp;It fit pretty well,&nbsp;might&nbsp;need waist taken up, &nbsp;and is high-waisted, nice tuxedo band, fits kind of like a long pencil skirt but with a slight flare at the bottom, slight high-low hem and confirms that this type of skirt could be "my" formal skirt, paired with different dressy tops. BUT it has a back zipper that somehow, with the skirt material seams, was too heavy for the skirt fabric and it kind of&nbsp;makes this noticeable&nbsp;bump in the rear. In addition, they put <u>pockets</u>&nbsp; in it, how daft, so those seams also mess up the hipline. Pooh.</p> <p>Last may the the escaped HEWI. I am still trying the black Adrianna Papell&nbsp;dress for just a basic slightly dressy dress-had to order different size(s) which have not arrived. But the killer is, it came in this purple color and all the smaller sizes are sold out. <u>A long-sleeved, knee-length non-black, medium-color&nbsp;dress</u>!&nbsp; See also Angie's Anthro find, which is intriguingly lovely&nbsp;but more midi-length and may be imaginary lifestyle for me, though I may try it on. If any one finds the AP dress in the&nbsp;Pansy color (size 4 or less likely 2), give me a shout! </p>
