I have to say that I love the concept.&nbsp; I always feel claustrophobic in layers but I love the look.&nbsp; Yes, I hope they continue to expand the options in extended sizes.&nbsp; They are definitely on my wishlist!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004234 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:15:57 +0000 Janet 2004234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, yes, the moto does have some stretch, which greatly helps me! Sigh, I wish I "filled out" things a bit less. I suppose the grass is greener? Sometimes trying to dress curves in a way that is flattering and looks easy, casual and cool is a real challenge. So much looks either va-va-voom or frumpy with not much in between.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the scuba jacket with the leather moto dickey -- too bad I can't really justify throwing $1200 at it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004230 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:08:42 +0000 gryffin 2004230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - you are most welcome.&nbsp; Enjoy browsing!<br />Ummlila - IKR it's a good brand for us!!<br />bj111 - no you are super shopper girl!&nbsp; Like the navy seals of shopping!&nbsp; Impressed.&nbsp; You have the right yoox stuff!!<br />Janet - is your moto knit?&nbsp; They are so much more forgiving.&nbsp; I think every brand cuts for a specific silhouette.&nbsp; VB seems to cut for a straighter body, but you have many great pieces that look dreadful on me because I can't fill them out.&nbsp; If you haven't tried the scuba jacket, it does have a lot of stretch.&nbsp; That might work for you and there are some very nice knit pieces also.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004211 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 14:00:30 +0000 Janet 2004211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I envy those of you who have found great things on Yoox! I have trouble with Yoox -- I get overwhelmed and sidetracked, put a couple of things in a cart, and then forget about it. I'd love to try some of their pieces, but sizing is always a mystery in many of those brands, and I'm usually convinced they'll all be too small for me. Or something I love will only be available in a size 4. :-/</p> <p>I do like VB styles very much, but most of their items are cut too straight for me. I have this striped moto, which does accommodate my hips and fits nicely in my usual top size, but their blazer cuts don't work on me -- I tried sizing up and it just looks too big everywhere else by the time it fits across my hips and boobs. I think that example Anna linked to shows that their cuts are like that, even when offered in larger sizes. It's not a great fit on that model.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004209 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 13:49:26 +0000 bj1111 2004209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gryffin...i just have time on my hands and a dogged pursuit of a bargain.</p> <p>off to check out vb based on your and ummlila's recs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004201 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 13:12:07 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2004201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed a very nice striped cardigan in inclusive sizing at Veronica Beard yesterday. I am agreeing with you, Gryffin, on this brand. They're expensive, but all their pieces are cut for flattery, not just to follow certain shapes that are on trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004199 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 12:58:04 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2004199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004189 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 11:53:59 +0000 gryffin 2004189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna - agreed the jacket is too snug. I saw the b&amp;w check first. I didn’t look carefully but thought I’d looked good on in both sizes. I was just happy to see the option. But you’re right at any price point and size too tight is too tight.<br /> Bj111 - I did look at yoox. I be never seen such a vast collection. I get overwhelmed y too much stuff. Then just shut down. That’s why I don’t like big stores unless I’m combing a small Dept. Also like internet w filters. Black jackets are hard enough to evacuate on line. I don’t think I have the strength to comb through. You are obviously super shopper. Some divine stuff if you have the patience, concentration and persistence to go through it all. Kudos!! I bow to a master!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004138 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 03:21:06 +0000 bj1111 2004138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love yoox.&nbsp; my most memorable pieces came from there.&nbsp; i buy and return a lot because of funky designer proportions.&nbsp; but what i've kept, i have loved.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>trolling the site for an event i'm hosting and to replace a costume national dinner jacket that i sadly outgrew. </p> <p>you do have to be committed to surfing or very focused.&nbsp; it's the equivalent of online thrift store shopping.&nbsp; it's the thrill of the hunt and the bargain.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004133 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 02:59:27 +0000 annagybe 2004133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember Reformation doing a tiny plus size capsule, once, and never again.&nbsp;Hopefully this collection will stay.&nbsp;<br />Though I wouldn't consider this a good fit<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.veronicabeard.com/Baltazar-Dickey-Jacket-3431.html?color=Clay">https://www.veronicabeard.com/.....color=Clay</a><br />And I wonder where Nordstrom puts the size 16's.</p> <p>There's a great instagrammer that routinely calls out designers<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/the12ishstyle/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/the12ishstyle/?hl=en</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.the12ishstyle.com/">http://www.the12ishstyle.com/</a><br />She sometimes posts from dressings rooms, "wearing" the largest size.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004124 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 02:03:47 +0000 gryffin 2004124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I think it’s recent. I check the blazers not infrequently.<br /> Anna - IKR but it’s a start. Almost a capsule to see how well the sizing sells. I hope they put the word out. Also the same jacket looks gorgeous on both models. The cuts are very flattering.<br /> Janet - it really is. Everyone deserves nice clothes and it’s great to see.<br /> Bj1111 - I don’t usually shop yoox. Do you do well on that site? I tend to be brand loyal for sizing or go for easy and free returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004107 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:54:03 +0000 bj1111 2004107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>there's a massive sale on yoox right now with many long line black blazers and i thought of you.</p> <p>unfortunately, plus sizing on yoox is abysmal to nonexistent.&nbsp; really a function of the designers lack of broader sizing.&nbsp; it's ridiculous that i'm a medium on yoox. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004097 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:08:27 +0000 Janet 2004097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A step in the right direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004096 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:04:54 +0000 annagybe 2004096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though I wish it was offered in more styles. Only 9 of the blazers in a 16, none of the outwear, maybe It's a start though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/veronica-beard-inclusive-sizing#post-2004091 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 23:25:53 +0000 Angie 2004091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE.
