Traci -- Yes, if I ever find myself in Tennessee, I'll make a pilgrimage to the ES shop. I like your cheapest-piece-first strategy. That's probably what I'll do someday too (next Christmas maybe? my budget is already blown for S/S).
Jenn -- I think their sizing is pretty forgiving. Like Traci says, they do design for a wide range of sizes and body types. And CS is pretty helpful about providing garment measurements if you ask. I do wish they'd adjust their return policy, but I understand the financial challenge as well.
Sterling -- I have heard that their linen is a bit more substantial and luxe than EF linen, so on that count I think their pricing is actually quite good.
zoiechic -- definitely post a review when your top arrives! I'm curious.
Ryce -- I suspect you're every bit cool enough.
