@GraceCO Thnx.  It’s so hard with these numbered sizes.  I thought I read you order mediums but a 14 in th pants which is why I thought I may go for the 2. I typically order m’s as well.

I hate the numbered sizing! So difficult to nail it and I was lucky this time.

I ordered a medium in the sequined pant, but a 14 in the faux suede. I usually order up one size--so, in a pant like the sequined one, I'd typically order a large. But, the "click here" measurements were much larger, so I fell in the medium range. The 14 in the faux suede is my usual size for numbered pants. Does that make sense? Look at the measurements to be sure, but your usual size should work for you.

 I usually order an xs in linea pants...ordered the xxs in the sequin pants based on the click here measurements ( on the advise of the ladies here...thank you because they are not to be missed!)  I ordered a 4 in the suede pants..the black are perfect but the caramel are big in the leg and rise.  I am sending those back so if you are looking for a 4 keep your eye out!  I am assuming its a manufacturing discrepancy which happens.  They are beautiful, comfortable and very classy.  Enjoy to whoever gets them!

I love my red trench coat! My normal Linea top size is a 4, but the 6 works better for an outer coat.

My black faux suede arrived and darn it I wish I would have gotten the dfg and the caramel but I wasn't sure of the fit or how they would look on me but I'll still look to see if my size pops back in.  The fit is perfect just like the straight leg ponte knit pants that I brought in the espresso.  I brought the regular and fortunately they don't pool at the bottom like Marybeth's who is my height and they don't cling to my calves.   They are ready to wear when the weather cools down.

I also added another V neck WK cardigan in the dark purple....beautiful color same as in the picture, I love this color with black or grey to name a couple but I will play with the other colors in my wardrobe.

I'm probably the last in the group to receive my items.    They arrived last night and I am so happy with all of them!  The red and caramel trench coats are perfect!  I love the length and the fit.  I'm so glad I got both colors.

The sequin pants in my smaller size are so nice.  Thanks for the poster who advised sizing down if you were between sizes.  I'm glad I didn't miss out on those lovely pants!

The caramel faux suede pants are so soft and fit great!  I tried them on with the dark forest green long open cardigan and I love those colors together.  I'm keeping everything!  Love it all!

@PAGal. I wonder if the pair you sent back is actually the size 4 or is it the one you kept. Hopefully the person who gets it likes fit better than you did.

Received the carnival necklace in Plum and the silver Inca necklace, both are beautiful, so different, but nice to have variety in my jewelry.

I love the gunmetal color in the Plum carnival; it makes such a large statement piece  more subtle and wearable for me at least.  And the Inca one I resisted forever until I saw it on Maria on a black blouse (that I have) and how simply stunning it was.  Great quality in these as usual.

Hello Ladies,

I am new to the whisper knit fabric & was wondering if you could provide advice as to how you store them. I hate hanger marks at the shoulder.  Not sure if these will do that. I ordered the "crop cardigan", the "sleeveless tunic", the "skirt" and a few other GREAT items in several colors.  All are keepers!

I might be in the minority, but I am not a folder.  I hang everything.  I use the "huggable hangers" and never get shoulder bumps on the fabric.  I hang the skirts with the hangers that have the aluminum clips.

Welcome to your new addiction @polowife!

Generally the whisper knit or WK sweaters are either folded or rolled in your drawers. Folding may yield fold marks before wearing if tightly stored. Louis recommends on the WK dresses & the pants to fold them as they could stretch out over time. 

Many of us wash in cold water, rinse in cold water in our washing machines. Some of us turn them inside out or put into a lingerie bag prior washing.

Sone of us put the WKs in a low heat dryer for a few minutes then hang to dry & others like myself hang to dry after washing.

I believe Louis recommenfed on the embroidered sleeve WKs to turn inside out prior washing.
