One thing that happens frequently while shopping is the devastatingly false representation of extremely flattering garments on the hanger.

 You love the fabric, the colour  the texture, but, your not sure how it even works. 

They always look like a swag of fabric hanging there confused.  

Many of the designs that fit the best need to be tried on to understand the unique and flattering, classy fit that often gets overlooked. Don’t be shy!

 The fabric and cut of the garment are the most important indicators of style adventure. 

So next time if you like the fabric, and are not sure of the form, try it on, ask the stylist working to help you figure it out, engage with the garments and designers. 

Many times until they are worn amazing cuts get left behind, and then popow the designers vision is manifest and you get an exciting surprise! 

We love hangers, we are grateful for all they do, keeping everything off the floor and neatly aligned and in order of visual purpose. 

Fortunately, clothes are made for body and soul, and not for merchandising perfection, so  if you wanna get a flattering and unique fit, TRY IT ON!  

It’s satisfaction every time.
