I ordered the Emi Fressia dress and the RAE dress. I am almost certainly keeping both unless you guys see something terrible, but thought I'd share a few pics and a review. (Sorry about bad pics.)
Una, did you get yours yet?
1: the emi fressia dress. I got the merino version so it's not for summer. Thus, I'd actually most likely wear this with skinnies or leggings, and not bare legs, but it's 90 degrees here so I'm not trying it on with bottoms. Am pleasantly surprised that it is actually decent length to wear as a dress, so I might also wear it with tights or hose. This is my regular size so I'd say it's TTS for a fluid fit.
2-4: the RAE dress. (How perfect is that name?!?!) It's a dark charcoal, not black as it appears in my bad pics. It has a really cool construction with silk insets at the side (the rest is a jersey-ish material) and a double layered back that is slightly cape-like. It's really fun to wear. I'd say this is also true to size. The top may run slightly small but since I'm smaller on top it's actually great for me.
(not pictured) I also ordered the Cooper sweatshirt, but I am sending it back as it runs large. The shoulders seams are so wide that they are actually sort of impeding my arm movement. (See how on the model the sleeves end at mid bicep? On me they came to near my elbows, and not because the sleeves were actually that long but because the shoulders were super wide on me). I think I'd have to size down at least 2 sizes to get the shoulders/arms right (and still fluid) but then the hips would be too tight, so I'm not going to try. Probably better for an IT.
