All too often I run into the same problem. I’ll find a piece of clothing that I absolutely adore, it looks perfect! Usually I find it online, so I buy it~ Eventually it makes its way into my arms, I put it on and what do you know? It’s too “big”. The dress that appeared to fall just above the knees on the model is down to my ankles!

Since Burberry released this jacket, I loved it instantly! Almost as much as I love their Duchesse Silk Knotted Epaulette Trench Coat. Even if I had the money, I could see this lovely coat coming down to my knees and being rather unflattering.
I doubt I’m the only height deprived individual out there, but man it sucks 🙁
I AGREE!! TOTALLY, WHOLEHEARTEDLY FEEL YOUR PAIN!!
(so much so that it’s all in caps)
Also, like outfits on mannequins are pinned at the back, you know the fit will not work on you. “Something” will be wrong with it and it won’t sit right. I have a pile of online shopping waiting to be “saved” at the sewing table when I have time. It’s not worth it, surely.
Yes exactly! I too have a pile of clothes that need saving, 90% were purchased online 🙁
OMG. Have you been here?

I just received this dress today, only ordered it last Monday (super delivery! Singapore to Melbourne). Guess what? IT FITS!! I am so pleasantly surprised!! The material is pretty good too, not cheap, thin synthetics. I’m so happy with it, thought I should share it with you.
Oh wow! Thanks for that 😀 Price is not too bad either, will take a look!
