Can finally call myself a RTW client. Got the pink cardigan with heart buttons. Even though it’s delicate the knit still has a bit of weight to it. I tried it on in both 36 and 38- I preferred the length of the 38 but it was a baggy under the arms and alterations would have impacted the diamond pattern, so I took home the 36. It’s very stretchy so I think with wear it will stretch a bit. I included pics of both sizes and closeups of the knit/button details in case anyone is considering. Would love anyone’s feedback on the sizing and if I made the right choice with the 36 (first two pics 36, third is the 38).

Looks perfect in 36. I think its wise to size down.

I think 36 is the right size. Sweater looks great on you! I love the heart buttons and the quilted pattern. Congrats on your beautiful purchase!

Went in to get my 21A Dalmatian jacket altered and tried on a couple of 21b items. My boutique is still receiving 21b shipments, actually there are a few 21A items that still haven't arrived. I tried on the 21b black tweed with purple and it's gorgeous. The fit seemed great for me. I am waiting for my size on reserve to arrive, and had to try on a size smaller. I didn't understand why the price was so high on this until I saw it in person, it does have chain details on the pockets & collar and the buttons are also leather covered I believe. I really hadn't expected to like it so much, but I actually love it and can't wait for mine to arrive.

I also tried on the salmon/coral 21b jacket. It was actually a surprise on, I did like it. I happen to have the 21 sleeveless CC tee in black and actually liked it with the dark underneath, it gave it a little edge. I will likely pass on this right now, but would consider it if it makes it to sale. I just happen to prefer the 21b jacket, and am eyeing another item...outerwear. I saw the duffel jacket in a small size and it's super special. I am waiting for one to arrive in my size. I love the iridescent in it, I didn't try it, but did include the stock photo below. My fingers are crossed that it's a good fit.
