It’s not clingy unless you size down, but gently curved. I’ll see if I maybe have a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061810 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 01:29:04 +0000 Kari 2061810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I’m glad that you finally were able to visit. Their staff is terrific. </p> <p>Often items are restocked (though lately it seems like they have been turning over more frequently) so I would recommend getting on their wait list if something is out of stock in the size you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061780 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 23:53:27 +0000 Diana 2061780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that’s fantastic! I’ve been wanting to try some of their stuff for a while now, but like others have been confused by the sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061772 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 22:56:29 +0000 Susie 2061772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've admired Kari's picks from US and I love the diversity, both in models and in sizes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061763 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 22:16:41 +0000 Janet 2061763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to click through to that cardigan too -- and I don't even care for cardigans!

I will report when I receive it. I love the color and the contrast cuff, and with a V neck!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061704 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 18:28:10 +0000 karen13 2061704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - please do report back on your experience with sizing - especially the Curve Cardi in your size or close. I have been so tempted by the Curve Cardi, but not sure if about sizing, and the reviews on the US website said the arms ran long (if a Misses size says that, I'm in trouble). I was encouraged that one review said the length was short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061684 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 17:53:05 +0000 rachylou 2061684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m officially camping, Angie! Just home for a couple of days before heading out again. I’ve realised I really do need a solar charger for my cell phone... I’m late to the Fall Fashion Report!

Big high five to you.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suntiger,</b> agreed and thank you :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Lisa P</b>, thank you, yes and yes! You need to get used to US sizing. I've attached the range. 4XS = US00 - US0. I suspect the smallest sizes to be very fluid. I need to try them on and report back.&nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061629 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 16:46:44 +0000 Anonymous 2061629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to read about your time with US - I always love a good discussion with an owner about their business . I took a look at their website a few months ago but like Janet , the sizing confused me . I’ll have to take another look ! I love your working outfit here - perfect for this time of year ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw/page/2#post-2061628 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 16:44:01 +0000 Anonymous 2061628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit and they look like a great company!

Love the white booties best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061625 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 16:40:17 +0000 rachylou 2061625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. That’s a great size range, and I really like the styles. I can see really wearing those pieces - they look like solid, do anything garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061608 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:43:41 +0000 Angie 2061608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>bonnie</b>, sorry I missed you. Next time! Seattle is an incredible city.</p> <p><b>Katerina,</b> thank you! Those are micro black fishnets, actually. Sheer black hosiery would work as well, since I don't wear opaque tights.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061600 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:28:57 +0000 Katerina 2061600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful outfit, Angie! The vest is fabulous and so stylish and interesting with the dress. Love also how you wear sheer black stockings with the white shoes - so polished.<br /> Universal Standard seems great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061598 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:24:14 +0000 Bonnie 2061598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the vest with the floral dress. I was impressed with Seattle when I visited there this summer and am not surprised that it is a welcoming city. Universal Standard looks like a store I'd like to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061596 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 15:01:53 +0000 Angie 2061596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, their sizes are specified differently - so it’s is little confusing at first. Good point bringing that up. Their 4XS is about a US0, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061594 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 14:57:56 +0000 Janet 2061594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic as always, and I love that Sam perused the shop with you! </p> <p>I really like the US philosophy and simple aesthetic. I’d like to try something of theirs at some point when I find the right piece. I almost ordered a jacket from them some months ago, but the sizing confused me a little (it was offered through Nordstrom and was based on plus sizes, so I hesitated — I think it’s available in a larger range of sizes through US directly). I’d prefer to try them in person — maybe I’ll get a chance to see their NYC showroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061592 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 14:43:53 +0000 Angie 2061592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words, ladies.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kaelyn</b>, absolutely. The city of Seattle is the most gender fluid and gender friendly city I’ve lived and travelled to. It's celebrated in almost every shop, bar, restaurant, and service window. <div><br /></div><div><b>deb, karen13</b>, give US a go.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Joy,</b> you rock that dress!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jaime</b>, Kari should model for US! You are sooooo right about never knowing when you’re going to run into someone important...</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Brooklyn</b>, I hope so too. And FASHION SHOWS! I find them very hard to watch these days because of their lack of diversity. But I have to because it’s my job. As for the dog walking outfit - it's more of a client meeting outfit, and I didn’t change to walk Sam :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Eliza, Sal, Firecracker, Mirjana, Nemosmom, Cardiff Girl</b>, thank you, and YES to your encouraging words about US.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jane</b>, Sam is neat and tidy - like Mama A better listener than Mama, though….</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sisi</b>, come visit!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Lyn67</b>, that would be a great idea. </div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-seattle-rocks-wiw#post-2061585 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 13:02:24 +0000 lyn67 2061585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the long vest to the dress but your best accessory is Sam, of course!
