We've been supplying clothing for a few years now, but I only recently started wearing our range The thing which put me off was the difference in sizing and fit. I'm no skinny Minnie and the thought of ordering clothing which couldn't accommodate my hips would make me feel a failure. So I didn't. I I never had the time before to drill down into what I really liked and our massive range made my head spin. Sure I could help clients really easily get their's right but not my own. The pandemic bought me some free time where I could explore, so my daughter and I embarked on a clothing adventure. Here's what we found.
Hoodies - I like a size bigger and I don't mind if I have a guys or a unisex so long as it feels soft, and I'm happy to scrunch the sleeves - they are not ridiculous. I only wear the Zoodie version (full zip) and I quite like the ones without a hood so more of a soft bomber jacket. I have two in white which I would live in if allowed.
T Shirts - I like a ladies fit or a size larger than the quoted hip size if its unisex. I bought from the sale a raglan sleeve which I love - I won't link to it because I don't want you to be disappointed if it's no longer available. I also like a soft wash for a more relaxed look. I've noticed that there is a massive difference between a ladies size 18 from manufacturer to manufacturer and the comfort level changes according to the soft and stretchy properties of the fabric. Less stretch = Less drape.
My varsity jacket
I've also got 2 hero products a Gals oversized night shirt, plain black you can wear it day or night, superbly comfortable and with a belt smart enough to nip to the shops. My other is a bright yellow puffer jacket again on sale which feels like a sleeping bag, looks great and is super warm.
Almost forgot I also bought a neon orange varsity jacket which everyone admires and it's super comfy too.
