Ode to the Evelyne

Hey everyone! I am looking for some advice. I am strongly considering purchasing a pre-loved Evelyne TPM but I am worried about whether it will be an odd proportion on me. I have looked at a number of size comparisons but unfortunately there don’t seem to be many of a person of my size or body type.

I am 5’ 6” and 170 pounds, pear shaped, and I am worried that it is too small on me and potentially (gulp!) emphasize my weight.

Do you think this size will work for me or should I consider one of the larger sizes?

@preppie

I would try out the PM size. I am not pear-shaped but do have wide hips. When I tried on the TPM size, it just looked ridiculous on me. It definitely made me look bigger in the wrong area.

Can you try out the different sizes at an H boutique? Most of them will have the different sizes if not the preferred color and leather.
 
Your Evelyn is gorgeous. So thankful that you took the time to post your pics as I was considering this bag (have no store here to try on). I am 5' and can tell for sure that this would feel too large on me. Xx
I am 5'8" and tried on a GM the other day. I accidentally put it on with the H on the outside and almost died when I looked in the mirror. After I turned it around, it was manageable but it took some adjustments for it not to wear me.

I admire every petite lady who can own the GM.

I think my SA thought that I looked ridiculous in secret and she was quite relieved that I did not buy the GM. I could tell that she did not buy any of my BS about how much stuff I could put in the GM. :angel:

Lol. It's my boobs that dictate which crossbody bag I can or cannot wear. They take up too much space so more e/w styles look better on my frame. :lol:
 
I went to H yesterday to pick up a twilly I was waiting for for my Gold PM and it is perfect. I tied in on and instead of a bow, I left it loose to display the beautiful butterflies. After admiring my new Jaguar Quetzal in the mirror for a couple of minutes, my lovely SA told me to wait, as he had a surprise for me. After a few minutes, he reappeared with a box that had a note with "hold" written on it. He knew I wanted a black TPM with gold hw and I thought it would be a long wait, but no, it came just in time for my Birthday later this week. I am thrilled. I took some shots modeling both. :heart::heart:

Just missed out on a 16 in etoupe/indigo with gold hardware, aargh!! Didn’t know I wanted it until I saw it, then I hesitated and it sold from under me :crybaby:

There’s a 29 bleu nuit with GHW still up on the U.K. site if anyone’s interested?

Argh that’s frustrating. I’ve lost out on stuff on website too. with the Tpm you have to act super quickly if u see it again.
