Fit on the Halogen seamed pencil skirts?

sarah

I've been perusing the NAS offerings, and I must say they are slim on petites : (

On the bright side, perhaps this means I won't overdo it! Anyway, how is the sizing on the Halogen seamed pencil skirts? I know many of you have them. Are they TSS?

Thanks.

Go a size down. I am 4P almost everywhere and I am had to get the 2P in the fever pink seamed skirt.

Do they have anything else interesting for petites?

Thanks. I normally wear 4P so that is good to know. The only other items besides shoes that I've got in my "favorites" list are the Halogen back-button drape neck sweater and the Pleione tie-front sheer print blouse. If you find anything good, let me know. I'll have to carefully go through the regular sized items, but I generally don't have much luck with those.

Yes, go down a full size. I am normally a 2P and I had to get the seamed skirt in 0P.

Did you notice they have a merino wool cardi in colors to match the seamed skirt?

Oh, good to know, Mary. I think I'll order them in 0 and 2P. Now to decide colors!

I'll check out the cardis. I was sort of swearing myself off cardis, since I overdid it last year, but the BF cardis I got are really too long for me, and need replacing ; )

So many cocktail dresses in petites! Maybe they think shorties have more parties

MaryK, Can you post a link to the wool cardi? How fun would a fever pink suit be?! Ok, I think I have officially graduated from the all black all the time school of thought!

Yeah, and what I really need is a basic black sheath for boring, old work...argh.

Sarah, just chiming in with everyone else to go down one size for the skirt. I did the same.

Also, there are a lot of items that come in both petite and regular sizes but don't show up when you just look at the petite dept. for the online NAS. I found lots of neat stuff under women's apparel ~ when you click on a particular item, you can see if it's also offered in petite. Not sure if you already saw that, so just wanted to mention it ~ I went straight to the petite section myself, was a little disappointed at the selection, then found lots of petite goodies the other way.

Modgrl, it seems to be only in the new colors -- magenta purple, "raisin," and so on. I don't have my secret access code here at the office but I'll post the link when I get home.

Sparky, I did NOT know that. Wow, thanks for pointing that out!
