Title: Amazon.com shopping??
Post by: Harlow on August 18, 2013, 07:08:30 PM
Hello,

So I have shopped around on amazon mainly because shopping can be a pain, and the prices on amazon are very good. I also have had luck just reading the reviews as far as sizing to get a good idea of what to expect. So far so good with what I have purchased, BUT it takes me forever with research and such to find these items. So I've only gotten a few things so far.

I'm tall and skinny 6'1" and 138 lbs, lanky and narrow. I know I'm about a size 4-6 but with length in pants not so sure?? Etc with the whole sizing thing.

Wondering if there are any great brands and sellers any of you have had luck with??

One MAIN thing I'm looking for too. Is just 3-4 signature pieces to buy that will feminize my wardrobe. I'm not trans I'm andro/genderqueer so not looking for dresses. Just vests, a poncho, leggings, skinny jeans etc.

I have a huge wishlist, just needing help weeding out some stuff to get some good staple items!!

Hi Harlow,

Many on-line retailers give a sizing chart that will give the length of the pants, sellers on amazon should have a link to their sizing charts. While I am short (5'2") I do know Express sells pants for those who are tall and skinny, maybe you can find someone selling their brand on Amazon.  :)

I think so too, just hope the pants fit. I'm sure they'll be fine, and they are returnable in case they are not!

OMGoodness that cardigan is awesome (too bad they are sold out).  If you like those pants, you should check out the tights at Black Milk clothing.

I am totally treating myself to a pair of these, when I reach my goal weight.

They are a great motivation to stick to my diet, and make sure I get my workout in.

I'll admit they are pretty pricey, but If I reach my goal weight I think I will deserve them (Because I will have dropped 100lbs).  I'm over halfway there and they are a pretty good motivation.

Beacuse they are all custom prints and are all made in Australia.. I have a pair of their leggings, a dress and a swimsut and they are worth every penny.

I really want an 'Awesome suit'..

Also, just a tip, if you are between their sizes, they suggest the smaller size - I'd recommend going the size up...


EDIT: There are plenty of cheap knock off's of the Galaxy series.. The problem with them is that they look cheap..

I'm sorry about that  ;)

The good stuff always is expensive, that's why I only treat myself when I really deserve it.
