The sizing is a bit smaller than JCrew (I wear size 0-2 and xs and found the tops to be a bit snug in this size range). The shoes were of average quality and I had no problem returning them. But the styling seems so fresh and appealing, and the copy (although controversial) is different enough to catch your attention that I keep returning to look at the site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-2053172346956127372012-09-17T08:52:00.381-03:002012-09-17T08:52:00.381-03:00There are so many things at Emerson Fry that I lov...There are so many things at Emerson Fry that I love right now.

I don't like how you cannot see full view of many items, how ami supposed to shell out $$$ if I don't know what I am buying ? And I hate how they raised the price on French slang backs from 125 to 185 just because they sold well. Prices are through the roof and a lot of it is just smoke and mirrors. What I bought from them was ok but not quite magical, I would not say the price was justified by the workmanship or style, I think it is decent but very hyped upajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-59577672856526521932012-09-15T18:01:04.797-03:002012-09-15T18:01:04.797-03:00I will definitely do so, Julie!

The huge pea coat is my favorite piece, but could never be justified in my mild climate. I am going to inquire on Monday about the price of the black handbag-which could be great for work. The pumps are gorgeous, but 4" heels are a fleeting memory for me and my troublesome feet.

I think that the one thing that makes the pieces seem more rich and luxe is that they actually fit. No shrunken jackets, no uber slim coats, no postage stamp minis. As AJC said in her blog(to paraphrase) "one forgets that there are dresses out there that actually fit- no funny high waists, too short skirts, etc." I do appreciate the quality materials.Pat Olskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122299121164106652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-50409664737429980622012-09-15T09:56:13.328-03:002012-09-15T09:56:13.328-03:00Oh - we may have to mule these to you tabs!

Not familiar with Emerson Fry beyond other blog mentions but your picks have piqued my curiousity. Headed over for a look-see too.
