Note: When you decide to try Doncaster clothing, I highly recommend meeting with a Doncaster consultant who will help you identify what fits best on your body and in your closet. If you live close to New York, be sure to contact Gail Hanny (gmhanny@optonline.net) and Lisa Benison (lbenison@optonline.net).
I confess. I was so busy falling in love with these pants (they look great on) and this jacket that I only discovered the white shirts at the end of my appointment after I’d run out of time to try them on. However, my sales rep Lisa, who can definitely relate to our fitting issues, has tried and loved them.
In the shirt below, it’s the seam down the front that helps it fit. I love the gathered detail at the collar. I’m not sure it will fit anyone over a DD cup without having to up-size, but it’s worth trying on.
I’m especially excited about the shirt below. Guess what. It’s not a wrap. It’s simply asymetrical, like a double-breasted trench coat without the double-breasted buttons but lots of fabric to preclude any chance of gapping. If you must pin it to keep you cleavage in check, it looks like the generous lapel will hide all evidence of the pin. For those of us 5’4″ and under, this shirt has the added advantage of lengthening our torsos. It probably won’t work under a jacket, but it’s enough like jacket to give you the presence of one. Writing this has almost convinced me to make another appointment just to try this one on!
After the jump, I have pics of me and Lisa wearing a knit top that comes in white, black and tan. I love the scoop neck and defy anyone to tell me I can’t wear the gorgeous fluff that decorates the front. If Lisa hadn’t already scouted it out, however, I would have been the first to tell me I couldn’t wear it.
Please feel free to contact Lisa at lbenison@optonline.net, or Gail at gmhanny@optonline.net for an appointment to see the Doncaster clothes, help in fitting or to order. They really do look great on us!!
Thanks for adding your contact info, Lisa. I’ll put it in the post itself.
By the way, readers, shopping with a wardrobe consultant who shares your body type is a great experience. Lisa tried on certain items (she loves Doncaster clothing and can’t help herself) that I never would have considered, but once I saw them on her, I wanted to try them, too.
It was fun. Gail and Lisa are a great team. Gail is a major voice of reason, which is what I needed when faced with the gorgeous bright pink jacket that costs over $700 (made with fabric from the same source as Chanel).
