I received my Belle order A301535 top in blue and its very nice.  Nice material and the gold metal piece looks snazzy, and fits well.

I also got Belle A301811 zip crop jeans in denim.  I probably could have sized down but I am going to keep them.  They are soft and the wide waist is very comfy.  I think they look cute with the ankle zipper, something a little different.  I just tried them both on and I will launder them before wearing.  If there is a problem I will add a post, but they seem very well made so I dont think there will be a problem.  Im very satisfied and will not hestitate to order from Kim again.

I'm always puzzled why people wash everything first when things are new.  I never pre-wasy anything for below the waist - - those are far from my face  - and rarely for tops either..........but, yes, anything that goes next to my body or bed = it gets washed first. (bras - panties - sleep wear - sheets)  I think people have really gotten hung-up on this issue. Just my opinion.

I always wash jeans and tees before wearing on cool and gentle wash. I want to set any dye and get rid of any finish that might be on them.

Glad to hear about kims zip cropped jeans.   I don't own any jeans and want some.   I only want the close to the ankle type because all that fabric wrapped around my legs drives me nuts.   There are so many offered on Q.   I think I'll take a chance on Belle...Thanks

@fthunt.................you never know what that material has been in or who or what has handled it.  The top is made in China and they have bugs, bedbugs and various other mites.  Im not willing to take a chance.  Its one of the things my mom taught me years ago.  Also their material is treated with some type of chemical to help get rid of the bugs.  I worked part time years ago in a high end dept. store, you should see what type of people (not the cleanest) try on clothes.  Also, the returns in the stores are many times wore to a event then returned.  They reek of perfume, cigarettes and unknown stuff.  They are sprayed with Lysol and hung back on the rack as new.

 I received the TSV Cropped Jeans in Black and I love them.  The fit is perfect and the color is dark and saturated.  I love the pull-on style and they are very slimming.  Some reviewers posted that the bottom of the legs belled out, but mine were perfectly fitted (just like on the models and hosts)...no flare at all.  I ordered the same size that I recently ordered in a pair of Linea Ponte Pants and both fit perfectly.  I have the white on waitlist and will order the dark indigo and light wash when/if they come back in my size.

I ordered the tsv crops in white and light wash in a 14.  I wear a  large in denim and Company.   Sent the white back.  I would have to wear a tunic with these and still not sure it would look good even at that.  White pants are hard to get just right.  The light wash is okay but the fabric seems very heavy and wondering if it stretches out as you wear them a while.  I am going to wear them today to find out.  I would have rather had the zipper in a more muted color or not at all.  For the price I am not thrilled.  I get one dissapointment after another and quit ordering for a while.  I am not a shopper so I wind up trying again and getting dissapointed again.

Always wash new products before wearing anything next to skin because manufactureres sometimes spray clothing with chemicals to prevent bugs during shipping-  

I once saw an episode of House where patient was poisoned from clothing that was sprayed but not washed before wearing. Fiction? Yes but I think it’s absolutely possible-
