Let customers speak for us
They look great. I had to get a size smaller but they were generous enough to allow nylon socks comfortably. I haven't worn them out yet.
This dress is so cute with an edge that can be styled with sneakers or clunky platform sandals and a great headband. Just love it !
I love the fun colors of the puffer coat as well as the length to keep me warm too from top to bottom!!
