Eileen Fisher makes me want to be tall and architectural of stance

UmmLila (Lisa)

This is a link to their fall look book. A lot of pieces look very nice. I'd be super happy if they were also styled on shorter women.

I hear ha! I would also love to see them styled on a range of sizes and shapes. So hard to buy and not return online when I have to guess what my size and height would remotely look like in the clothes!

I'd LOVE to be taller and of architectural stance. (I like that phrase) . Sigh.

Oh I love this lookbook! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I know, re: overuse of tall thin models.

I understand!

Did you see the Issa clothing in the NAS? Looking at that model made me feel very, very short indeed!

Well they do have a petite line so many of these pieces would work for shorter women I don't know that you necessarily need to be statuesque for a lot of these looks, a stronger shoulder line would be enough for many of them and some should be good for daintier shoulders too. Some really interesting layering going on here, in line with what I'd like to do myself this fall/winter (but in lighter shades) if I can find the right pieces -- a more heavily layered look but with light/gauzy pieces so it's still streamlined.

I hear you. Her clothes mostly don't work for me although they seem like they would.

Una, I immediately though of you when I saw this outfit.

I'm only 5'9" and EF pants are too short for me. I wonder if the items in the lookbook are as you would buy them in a store, or custom made for the model...

I'm 5'5" with proportionately long legs, and I find that, for the most part, her pants are just long enough, her sweaters are a good length for me, and the one dress I've tried is knee length on me. Where I run into problems is with her super long tunic items. I probably need to focus on Petites for those items, because I do love them.

Loved the LookBook! Thanks for the link.

I went to the lookbook and am so tempted to give her clothes a try but I have to keep reminding myself that the loose flowing styles rarely do much for me. Mantra needed...

I agree, UmmLila.
The rest of us non-model-height types can look to TransconaShannon for inspiration! She wears Eileen Fisher so well, I think she should model for them.

I'll take one of each, please!

(I'm not an actual petite in terms of proportions, but I do find that EF petite tops are sometimes a good length for me, and less overwhelming.)

deb, love that and the checked surplus tunic outfit! Nice - looks all Rick Owens on the model and yet most likely would be frumpy on me!
