Liz Knit Dress
Very very roomy but a great dress!!
I tried similar, grey silk version of this dress first since it was a lot cheaper than this one! But the details of this dress are what make it very special ( and perhaps pricier).The color is unusual heather khaki and the panel has interesting texture. And the pockets hang nice and lazy! I'm in love wit it and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a mini dress/tunic that is good for at least 3 seasons, maybe all year around. Only thing is that it's extremely oversized. Although the size chart says XS that I purchased is about 0-2, but it definitely fits 4-6. ( I'm considering machine washing it once so that the spin will shrink the garment a little.)
Sizing: Larger than Expected
I envy you girls in the warm climate!!
This unusually severe winter in the city, I've ruined 2 pair of boots already. Both cracked beyond repair. So I had to start looking for their replacement since the winter never seems to end anytime soon. Though it looked like most of the nice ones were snatched up and no longer available! I got depressed and then I found this lovely pair. I liked its dark chocolate color and it seemed comfortable as far as platform goes. I very much wanted the pair to work with my wardrobe but it didn't, unfortunately. The light colored wedge part stood out more than I liked in my dark winter outfits. I couldn't imagine walking in the slushy, dirty street in these, either. They would lose their pretty face in the seconds! This was the moment I wished I lived southern california or sun belt where the weather is mild all year around, where you can wear boots for fashion's sake. Here in the north east, I'd need much more serious boot to survive the winter. It's really too bad.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected
Easy and elegant
I'm quite surprised that no one has reviewed it yet, because I just love this!! It has refined easiness, which is a key factor for choosing clothes for me, who is not young anymore to be daring but would love to be stylish without appearing too obvious... I always find Marc By Marc slightly larger than actual size and this one proved to be the same. A bit too roomy around the chest, and at the back around waist so that you kind of look floating inside. But I assume it's the part of design and since the fabric is really nice, soft silk knit, I wouldn't mind so much... I bought this before the holiday season when there was a chance for me to go somewhere warm. The getaway didn't happen but I'm very happy ended up with this jumpsuit. Can't wait for the spring and put this on with a pair of heeled espadrilles!!
