Elvi Fashions: UK Store

This particular shop uses UK sizing, so a 16 UK is actually a 14 US. The formula is simple: UK -2 =US.
There’s some interesting stuff at Elvi; it makes me think of a British Coldwater Creek – just ever so slightly more fashionable.

I thought each of these were interesting stylistically. The skirt drew my attention because of the yoke cut beneath the waist – I have no idea what that would do for a silhouette, but I like it. Also, I’m seeing that the whole Asian/kimono look is still hovering on the edge of the scenes. The trousers? Look at the hem. It’s sheer – the one and only way you could pull off a sheer look in the fall is with trousers like that.1

Although the name Elvi does remind me of a troupe of acrobatic Elvis impersonators that came to a local casino once.
