One of my new suits

I promised pics, so here they are. At least of one of the new suits.



Here's a detail of the fabric. It's quite nice, and according to the tag inside the jacket, it's Italian fabric. Ooooh...!

*gasp* It actually fits!!! Usually your suits are too big - this one fits you very nicely and shows off your beautiful shape! Well done Ivy!!

If I weren't straight...

Actually, I got rid of my too big suits a while back. I had bought them during law school, but then I lost a bunch of weight so finally they got too big. I bring Ivy so that I don't buy more suits that are too big.

Just to clarify - E's suits from law school were not too big just because she lost weight - she bought them way too big to begin with.

E has a very interesting body image thing going on where she perceives herself as several inches taller and many sizes larger than she actually is - hence the large clothes and her always thinking she needs to lose weight. In real life, she is a petite little thing that can easily be blown away by a large gust of wind.

Anyhoo, E has a lovely figure (and had one in law school as well), the challenge is to get her to show it off a little more, which Ivy is clearly succeeding at!

Thank you, Willow!

I remember Elena in law school. Very large, colorful sweaters.

When we went coat shopping, I had to talk her down a size as well.

But Elena's got it down now. She knows when something's right or off. It's just more fun to have me fussing over her and bringing outfits for her to try in the dressing room and being mistaken for someone who works there.

It's very becoming.

Very becoming. Good job E and Ivy. You can't go wrong with Ann.

Beautiful! And so is the suit! You look fanTAStic. I'd love to change the top under the jacket though. A lovely hint of red lace (or white for court), chemise peeking through would be nirvana.

What size were those too big suits? I've lost weight! Although, they're probably still too small for me.
