It may be that you have to have a fairly "typical" butt/hip/waist ratio (whatever the size) for them to flatter, as I know they don't work on everyone, but they are great for me. Downright an essential, even. On days when I work from home (which is 4 or 5 days a week!), I am very often found in them. I still feel cute and retro even if I only have a t-shirt on with them, but don't feel silly for wearing a dress sitting at my laptop in front of no one. LOL You can see examples of 40s "tee" type looks in the Sears catalogs along with trousers, so it's completely appropriate for a casual look nowadays, mimicking workwear or sportswear of the 40s!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024809647356519029.post-82047930372422586442013-05-06T10:41:35.301-07:002013-05-06T10:41:35.301-07:00Adorable outfit!

Whatever you do, don't purchase anything from Nicole Katherine....ugh!! I would stick with Freddies or even Vivien of Holloway. VOH not only costs less, they have traditional 40s button jeans and are roomy for us hippy gals. I think they even go up to a size 20...how awesome for ladies of all sizes.seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024809647356519029.post-79363534230556930812013-05-06T06:14:26.846-07:002013-05-06T06:14:26.846-07:00Very cute indeed!

I've read that a lot of girls have issues with the fit of them. I really want to sew a few of Mrs Depew's 40's wrap blouses for myself this summer too. They look comfy as a t shirt but totally retro!

I really like this look on you (not just saying this lol). The top is fabulous! I am having the same delma as you. I've just started to add a few more vintage inspired tops to my wardobe since you can wait around along time for just the right authentic one. I think I would like to add a couple more pairs of jeans too, at some point.

I don't have those particular Freddies jeans, but I do have their classic side button ones and utterly adore them. They don't have any stretch and are very true to size (aka, they are whatever measurements they claim to be), so if you're between sizes, I'd suggest going up one (I'd say these points are true of all the Freddies pieces I've tried so far). <br /><br />I'm particularly keen on headscarves and wraps worn 1940s style with my Freddies, the combo is just so cute and fun - I don't think there's a vintage loving gal out there that wouldn't look cute in that combo.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024809647356519029.post-2124767322408013842013-05-05T18:02:55.263-07:002013-05-05T18:02:55.263-07:00Adorable!
