New rewards just posted. Weird.
I used one on DS some clothes last night. The sale was pretty good for men's clothes.

Thanks

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :




there is the crochet peplum and that peplum yall were asking about last night.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :


better pic of the cap sleeve peplum tee.
Thanks. I'm another purple fan. Purple, emerald green, & Carolina blue are the colors I tend to like most. I have to make a conscience effort to order other colors too.

Quote from red333 :
That looks really nice on you...now, I sort of want it.

Peplum looks a little odd on me because the waist hits me so high. I have one peplum top that I bought during the last tick tock, and I'm just not that crazy about it. I should try these tees, though.

Thanks for posting the picture.
Express, peplum tops hit too high on everyone. I'm short, but my chest raises the waistline. I can't figure out why they cut the waistline so high. Confused That's the top complaint on reviews.

Quote from red333 :
Also, as a side note, DBF took me to dinner yesterday, and I wore the blue colorblock express dress here [express.com]. I wasn't wearing it long, and I had 5 compliments on it just between the walk out of my condo, from the car to dinner, and during dinner. Definitely a favorite dress of mine!
Which color combo? I can't get Express links to work. Searching for color block fit & flare on the site keeps taking me to pants. Dontknow I think I know all of them, if I knew the colors though.

Quote from nerdicus :

to me it looks like the crochet has a lower waist than the peplum tee. i do like how casual the tee is though, and the peplum is nice when you're bloated and want to hide your tummy. :l ol:
I was thinking the same thing. Regardless, I'm going to try both, when they go on sale.

I didn't realize that was a common complaint. The waist is so high I size up to a S, but the waist is big then...it's a big problem. I have one that I only paid $5 for, but that may still be too much.

The dress was also on the mailer in like March or April. I forget which one, but it was on the front.
I'm talking about the colorblock fit and flare dress. It is blue, white, and black. I just love the fit of that dress. I sized up to a 4 so it fit in the waist. The dress is on the long side, which is perfect for me.

i got DH some ties from clearance - at 1/2 off (10, not 9.99) i got 3 and used the 15 off 30. not a bad deal.

she's talking about the colorblock fit n flare dress that was not stretchy and that you didn't like bc it was long. us taller folk like those dresses. Stick Out Tongue

oh - i also think express caters their clothing to petites (except for maxi's). most of their stuff looks great on alvs.

oh that's the busty one that i have! keep it - it's one of the better ones, even though it has a high waist. i think it works well because it's stretchy so the XS works on me, and the stripes keep it casual. i wore it with the neon blue trouser shorts last weekend.

did you get S? you should probably size down if so...

Yea, I got the S. I can probably exchange in store...

As I've mentioned previously, the peplum style was popular in my younger days. The waistline hit at the natural waistline, which is exactly where it should have been at the time. They were very flattering. That may have still been short for you all, since you're not used to clothes hitting at your natural waist. In that case, the newer version should be even longer. I haven't tried peplum tops from any other store to see if they're all as short as Express' tops.

A few of us have the same problem with the width of the peplum tops. We're also between sizes. I've altered a couple of the lace peplum tops to get a better fit, but it's not worth doing that for all of them.

I know which dress you're talking about. I liked it, but my DH didn't. As nerdi mentioned below, he thought it was too long & wasn't flattering on me. I agreed that it would have needed to be hemmed for me to keep it. The cheaper, color block version is more flattering on me. I can understand why you got so many complements. It's a really pretty dress. I'm sure you looked fantastic in it.

I didn't even think to look at the ties. Doh That's a great price.

Express does seem to cater to women of avg. height & shorter. VS clothes are often too long for me. They seem to have more pants with a 34" inseam than any other length. I never understood that. There aren't that many really tall women. This thread is proof of that. You're not super tall, but you seem like an Amazonian woman around here. laugh out loud VS seems to think the world is full of supermodels.

Your "busty" top fits me better than any of the other peplum tops. It's not a perfect fit, but it's the only one that doesn't need to be altered for me to wear it. I bought both colors mostly because I didn't need to alter them. Teehee

Mine has some. They pile up because he goes out of town and buys them when he forgets them. Boys are so hard sometimes.
