Sounds like you didn't experience them being quite as large fitting on your clients as Donna did with her try ons. Donna - I definitely agree the waist may be the part that needs fitting. Since mine has migrated over the years to more apple than I'd like, I think sizing down too far prob won't work for me. Too bad if the sweater is a bit more dull IRL.  Also hope those Madden boots work for you, as it is a nice pale gray. rachylou on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330659 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 23:38:39 +0000 rachylou 2330659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wanna see those slings IRL! DonnaF on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330658 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 23:11:41 +0000 DonnaF 2330658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie; the W&W pants puff out at the side seams and can’t be taken in due to the pockets. I can also pull the waist way, way out which is maybe why the style works for apple shapes. And yes, I generally prefer a narrower shape but I want to get a proper fit up top before I make my final decision. Re length: In Petite, these are probably about .5 to 1.5 inches too long for full length. This is what I typically deal with even in Petite pants. And why I also ordered in Regular since I knew I would have to have them hemmed regardless. Delurked: The sweater isn’t quite as red and radiant IRL. Firecracker: I have hallux rigidus in my right toe, meaning my foot doesn’t really bend at that joint. I will definitely post if that bootie and sling back don’t work due to height.

I hadn't seen those Steve Madden boots. Looks like a good color for me, although the heel might be more than I would like. I'll be interested to see what you think! Angie on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330644 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:02:20 +0000 Angie 2330644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ delurked, 5ft 4 will need a regular size. Petite length was good on my 5 ft 2 client with low heels. I had a 5ft 9 client in a size US10 and she likes to wear heels! There was enough length - if that helps :) Comes in solid black and brown. But the plaid looked best. delurked on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330640 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:49:52 +0000 delurked 2330640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the feedback. I can see that little puff sleeve jacket being very cute on you, and I like the color of that boring sweater, plus the cropped vest. Most cropped items are way too short for my height and long torso, but I am happy to see they work well on others. Sounds like you found some success and have some other sizes to make comparisons on the way.  I don't need the Wit pants, but am curious due to Angie's positive feedback. They look too short for somebody taller. Is the regular inseam really full length on most people? And if I was getting for somebody about 5'4", do you think they would need a regular or petite? They are more pear shape, so I'm inclined to believe they would fit that shape possibly TTS. Angie on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330630 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:16:26 +0000 Angie 2330630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Quick chime in!  FWIW, those Wit & Wisdom pants are KILLER AWESOME! One of the best at the NAS. They are suppose to be roomy and wide :) The front pleats are stitched down, which helps with "the pouf".  They might run big - but not as much as you are describing (in my experience). Some of my clients wore them in their usual size, or sized down one size. Some in a petite size. They looked phenomenal on my petite, regular and tall clients!  DonnaF, maybe you were expecting a narrower silhouette? I would like to see them on! Loving that puffy sleeve jacket for you! And the vest is a top pick too.  DonnaF on "Review #1" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-1-2#post-2330620 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 19:56:01 +0000 DonnaF 2330620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The rest of my order should arrive by today, but I thought I’d start posting if it might save y’all some grief. 1. The Wit & Wisdom pants run BIG. I thought I was being smart when I ordered P2, P0, and 0, although in no universe am I a 0. The hips puffed out in all three plus they did not hold me in as supposedly they are supposed to do. I reordered in 00 and P00 so I guess these pants run bigger than even NYDJ. 2. I thought this cropped blazer looked a little weird in the stock photos but thought it might work for 5’ 1” me. Nope; it IS weird and I’m not exactly sure what build it would flatter. 3. This puff sleeve jacket is very flattering on me. Runs TTS but the sleeves are cut slim but the style doesn’t suggest you’d want to wear more than a light layer underneath. The bracelet length sleeves are just the right length on me. The long length of the jacket gives me pause however. 4. The silver sneakers come in half sizes!! I think I’ll keep these in a half size up. 5. Oops! Rykas on sale but not part of NAS. Never tried this brand. I also reordered 1/2 size up also in Wide. 6. This is a funnel neck which means it has as much fabric as a turtle but you have to fold it to the inside to make it lower. 7. This vest runs TTS. Quality is fine but not exceptional, but the price is also good. I seem to have collected a lot of white/cream bottoms, so this is a step to winterize them. 8. I am a sucker for sweater dresses and their kindred spirits, especially if they have pockets. It’s not the most flattering style on me, and I will take pics with various footwear options when it’s cooler. This dress runs TTS. I also ordered a size which I do if it’s available, but it didn’t look as good. The booties, slingbacks, and boring sweater are supposed to be delivered today. And my annual order of lingerie wash.
