Review: Pinot in grey

What: Pinot embellished dress by Byron Lars for Anthropologie

When: Winter 2016

How (Material): Polyester everywhere! This is usually a big no in my book, but the dress is simply gorgeous.

Why (Pros):

1. Look: The look is simple, a fitted dress with modest sleeves. But with Byron Lars, the secret is all in the details and oh my did they deliver on this one! Just take a look at my pictures below and judge for yourself. Looking forward to wearing this to a party!
   
2. Comfort: Comfortable but very fitted. It reached right at my knees so I would say it falls right below knees on regular frames, as shown per the Anthropologie picture below.

3. Quality: Great quality. Detailing work is outstanding!
   
4. Sizing: True to size but you may want to size up for looser fit.  However, I have sized up for another dress (that I shall review next) and I’d recommend you stick with your regular size.

Why Not (Cons): The steep price tag, oh my! However, with the 30% promotion going on you may save $300 on the full price.

Sissi’s Verdict: Keeper, if you can afford it! What do you say?

Reviews: Majesty Peacoat in Stadium Cloth

A great deal on the Majesty Peacoat.  I have the light grey from previous seasons and have purchased the navy and decadent red during the 50% “HAPPYSALE” promo this season.  This promo is still active until tomorrow.

Pros: this is a classic, I’ve worn my peacoat with pretty much everything. No bulk even when you layer underneath.  The golden buttons and cut match up well.  I love the contrasting colors between the exterior wool and the interior polyester. The decadent red and a navy interior, while the navy wool has a rich red interior.  And was I surprised to see that the light grey from previous seasons has a matching interior but depending on the angle, it turns orange as shown below 🙂 nice surprise!

Cons: original price but with promo and the extra 50% off, it was worth it

Material: 79% wool and 21% polyester

Fit: true-to-size, the fit is slightly loose, not designed to be tight (unlike the Lady Day coat or the Metro coat).

Sissi’s verdict: keeper, if you are able to get it with extra 50% off!  Do you agree? Please share! You can see the top on Long Leggy Loving and its factory version reviewed by Gigi.
