I had not planned on posting this week since I’m off in the Caribbean celebrating my first wedding anniversary (yay!), but it is a horribly stormy night so we’re tucked in snugly in our little suite. While browsing some fashion and business blogs I came across this awesome new company that I couldn’t wait until next week to share: Quincy!
The brilliant ladies over at Quincy have developed a new way to size clothes based on bra size! I have to say, this is really welcome news to someone who is quite curvy (super busty, small waist…my body interpreted “hourglass” on a whole new level). I typically buy blazers 1-2 sizes up to accomodate my bust and then have to deal with making the waist fit (tailoring, belting, etc.). PLUS, these fantastic, fashionable tops (right now, bottoms coming soon it seems) are slightly flared at the hip since, as their research indicates, most women are one size larger on the bottom than on top. I am exactly that. And I suspect many of you fit this profile as well!
They currently offer jackets, blouses and dresses and it looks like they plan to offer skirts, pants and suiting soon. Their pieces are very on trend, including a peplum blouse and a FANTASTIC burnt orange blazer (if you read my last post then you know I probably won’t be able to resist giving that one a try), but aren’t so trendy that these won’t be investment pieces you can wear for several seasons. Since their return window is small (14 days from date you receive your merchandise), I plan to wait until I get home to shop with them, but you can bet I will be placing an order to check this out soon!
Hope this is a helpful little tip to some of you! Do you have any favorite suiting shops for ladies professional attire? Has anyone already checked out the Quincy goods?
