I agree that there seem to be lots of positive vibes about their stuff.</p> <p>I think it was that stocking fabric look I was thinking of... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-basics-from-metallicus-bella-basics-etc#post-565612 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 03:27:55 +0000 Fruitful 565612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops, just realised it's spelled "Metalicus". It's an Australian brand started in the 1990s by a woman playing around with stocking fabric. Then it was basic layering pieces - became hugely popular and coveted in Australia (They were particularly visible when dresses over leggings were big IIRC). Now they've extended it into a whole wardrobe.</p> <p>I took these pics off their Facebook in case anyone is curious: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Metalicus/118882450410" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/pages/.....8882450410</a></p> <p>Anne, I also did a few Google searches and all I can find is how much people love Metalicus, down to their customer service (I find this intriguing, because I associate Mimco with the same era, market, covetability and styling - yet Google searches come up with Mimco quality disasters and terrible customer service).</p> <p>Although I don't own any Metalicus the people I've seen wearing it looked great and it seems like the quality is good (people even wear it through pregnancy, I remember). I used to really want Metalicus but thought it too exxy but I now think it might be worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-basics-from-metallicus-bella-basics-etc#post-565510 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 02:24:23 +0000 Isabel 565510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No experience.........bumping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-basics-from-metallicus-bella-basics-etc#post-565431 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 01:25:54 +0000 Sarah A 565431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no exp. here... I am looking for good layering pieces though so if you try them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-basics-from-metallicus-bella-basics-etc#post-564786 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:41:38 +0000 Fruitful 564786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't Anne, but they seem to be popular? I remember trying some on and thinking they felt nicer than some similar, cheaper stretchy tops. I see people looking very put together in Metallicus outfits but I don't think it really suits my figure as a "look", too flowy/floaty/unstructured (although layering pieces would probably work). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-basics-from-metallicus-bella-basics-etc#post-564679 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:09:12 +0000 anne 564679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone had experience of these?3 At about $50 for a long sleeve tee I'd have to be pretty convinced of their quality </p>
