Sadly, as an international customer, this will probably be the last time I purchase the Addison style, as much as I love them. This colour in particular is so pretty, and the photos are very accurate to how it looks in real life.
I had sort of given up on the Addison already, and skipped a few other gorgeous colours/prints (including the lovely Tan Zi Xi ones), but figured I'd give them a go again with the 3 for 2 sale.
When they fit, they're incredibly flattering and comfy (the elastic bits are a really nice touch). The issue is none of the pairs I've purchased over the past year fit the same, even though they've all been the same size (W28R/L).
Main issue is usually the waist size (some are too big, sometimes almost a full size too big), but they've also had different rises, and now this most recent pair has smaller hips ontop of the waist being too big.
At this point I'm not sure which of the pairs has the intended fit/size. Maybe the pairs that fit me well are the anomalies? Or maybe I've just been unlucky with the most recent pairs I've received?
Given that I purchased these during the 3 for 2 sale, and international customers can't do exchanges, there's no easy way to exchange them for another pair (in the same size) in the hopes that they'll fit better either. To be honest though, even if there was, it's kind of riddiculous to exchange for the exact same size and hope the new ones will fit better.
It's such a shame, especially as these are the only jeans/trousers left that are aimed towards bigger waist to hip ratios. The old fit Dana was great too, but they're of course not around anymore, and the new fit doesn't work if you're pear shaped as the hips are much narrower. I'm guessing there's some difficulty in constructing trousers with a bigger waist to hip ratio, which might also be why the Dana was reworked.
I'd strongly recommend trying these on in a store if you can, and if one pair in your size doesn't fit, check if there's another in the same size. They will most likely fit differently.
Unfortunately, it'll be a bit of a gamble if you're international/purchase online, but on the plus side the customer happiness team is always very helpful whenever there are any issues. It's just up to whether you can be bothered with the potential extra hassle/return cost.
Ultimately, I just wish the fit was more consistent.
This skirt is so lovely! Happy to see it restocked.
I found the sizing a bit strange, but I'm very sensitive to any pressure on my waist, so this might not be an issue for most people. I'm a pear shaped 10-12, wear S in Alexa, and M in most other bottoms (Brie, Jamie, etc). After asking the customer happiness team for measurements I ended up going with L for the Esme, because I was worried the M might apply too much pressure on my waist, and I didn't want to have to deal with returns as an international customer.
The L is a bit too big on the waist, but it's not really an issue as it has a drawstring, so it can be tied to prevent it from falling down. Even if I don't tie it it just sits a bit lower (on my hips) instead of on my natural waist. Definitely need to tie it though if I put anything heavy in the (generous!) pockets.
Compared to the Brie in M, the waist is only a bit bigger. It's much lighter though, and very easy to move in despite being full length with no slits. I'm able to take regular strides and my movement isn't restricted.
It did arrive very creased, but after washing and giving it a good shake all of them are gone, no ironing needed. I washed it according to the instructions and it came out with no discernible difference in size.
One minor nitpick is that the hem is a bit rippled/puckered in places, but it's not really too noticable and doesn't seem to affect how the skirt fits/falls. I imagine they could be ironed out, or at least improved somewhat. On the plus side it doesn't seem to attract a lot of fluff/lint.
Overall I'm very happy, and highly recommend this if you're looking for a lightweight maxi skirt.
These are gorgeous. Very lightweight and I imagine wonderful in warm weather. I had to send them back as a little too big. I’m very tempted to reorder but do wonder how long they may last as they are thin. I tried them on obviously before seeing they were too big. Incredibly comfortable. Soft and actually amazing. I’d have kept them and taken the chance on seeing how long they lasted.
I have this and the black one too and love them already. Similar to Greta tops but without sleeves, perfect for summer. I wear my usual top size L.
They are like the Greta tops but without sleeves. Sizing is similar too I wear L in both. I think these will be perfect for summer.
I found this to fit differently to my other jennys, I wear 14 in the linen & cotton blend but a size 16 is a bit tight on my hips in this one. They got looser with wearing though so I won’t exchange for a bigger size. The denim is soft and I love the colour, but be careful with washing for the first few times, only with similar colours because it might stain the other items.
I love these more traditional style. They are the most snug out of the 3 pairs I bought but I leave the buttons at the side undone and they still feel great and can therefore can be let in or out as my body needs. I love they are non toxic material and look smart but casual, not too heavy but the material is substantial enough to feel worth the price.
As soon as these arrived I put them on and went out on a date with my hubby! These are so comfortable but look put together, easy to wear, can dress up or down. I chose a size 16, I'm a 14/16, 5'7" and these are perfect.
I love these dungarees, they are so easy to wear, lovely material and beautiful colour (I got blue). Mine are a size 16, true to size but loose fit. So happy to have found these on my path of non toxic clothing.
I love eastons, my usual size 16 fits me well.
I got these in 20 an short and they are perfect. They are a bit loose round my waist, but these are dungarees and don't have to fit snatched. They are very confortable, durable, habe good fabric and they look fantastic.
I have a smaller waist and big hips. These trousers were too wide in my tummy area and in the back I had a lot of fabric hangig loose over my butt.
I really like the patern and the fit if this one. Unfortunatly it is for a longer torso. I'm too short for this. My Tipp, when you are on the sorter side, order one of the cotton ones.
I ordered these trousers like recomended in the size chart in XL and it was way too big. I usually wear something between 16-18. Then ordered it again in L. This time it fits around my hips, but not my waist and there are too big only in the tummy area. I don't recomend them if you have a smaler waist and wider hips. But the qualitiy of the fabric is very good und durable.
Brilliant trousers for spring/summer: soft to the touch and airy & incredibly roomy so they fit comfortably!
Absolutely love these. I got a size 18 as I like them baggy, they are thick heavy material but they hang lovely. If you do a lighter denim or a black denim in these I’m buying them!
I got a UK size 10 and it fits really well! The denim feels nice and not at all heavy against the skin. I was surprised It could still fit even over my baby bump, I can't wait to style it during and after my pregnancy
Sadly sent back as a little large. Wonderful weight and feel for warm weather. Gorgeous colour too. I do wonder how they will wear as the fabric is very thin. Having said this I love them and may order in a smaller size.
this skirt is super soft and lightweight, will 100% become a summer staple! the colour is more of a faded black than deep black, which is unfortunately really obvious when i style it in an all-black outfit. i'd adjust the description to say midnight blue or something rather than black, since it does seem to have a tinge of colour in it.
I have many pairs of L&Ys, but the last two I’ve had to send back as they came up far too small. I could not even get these over my thighs!
Really cool and funky looking and extremely comfortable. Love them.
Another great L & Y purchase. Nice treat, worth it.
Trousers are super super nice. Nice material, print everything. But the fit is very odd and I feel they run a bit large.
Perfect fit . As always the sizing is accurate and the design and make are lovely . Please do more colours in this design . I love them !
I've got so many of these trousers,they're so comfortable. I wear mine with my converse.
Lovely light & thin fabric, will be excellent in summer. Colour more faded than in pictures - more charcoal/washed black.
Normally between UK10 & UK12 in L&Y, so sized up to UK12 as currently in 3rd trimester, and read reviews on other colours mentioning waist was tighter than originals. The fact the buttons on the side open makes it perfect to fit the bump (it gapes a little, but works for me), and I imagine will fit nicely with buttons closed when baby is born.
