One of my favorite online shops is ModCloth. I first fell in love with them when I saw the Lady Love Song dress in my Facebook advertisers’ feed years ago. I’m still absolutely in love with that dress. I love their shoes. Heck, they’re the shop that first got me interested in the retro vibe. I also really love how you can see pictures of people wearing the clothes they bought – because that way I can see how their clothes might fit me.
Well, since I discovered the site, a lot more pieces have caught my eye. Like this one:
and this one:
Oh and the Hepcat dress…I LOVE the Hepcat dress! (That reminds me, I should post Wining Husband’s Hepcat cocktail recipe soon!)
As I’ve mentioned before, however, I tend to like things to be knee length – otherwise I wind up pulling at the hem. I feel it’s a good, flattering length for my tall frame, and it makes it easier to keep up with a 10-month old without having to worry about showing everything off when I play with her. The easiest solution for that? Using the Modcloth clothes as an inspiration for the clothes I make. There’s a great column (I think it’s been discontinued) over at The Sew Daily called “Make This Look.” Where fabric and pattern are recommended for duplicating the feel of some of the ModCloth dresses.
I also like many of their shoes (However, a lot of their sizes end at sizes 10 or 11, and while some 11s will work for me…I’m technically an 11.5/12 when it comes to shoes. That makes it really difficult to find shoes that fit and are comfortable.) These are darling:
Plus, they’d annoy Tiger Boy, the teenager who hates “What Does the Fox Say?” – Win Win.
These are very similar to a pair of boots I have that I wear all the time:
They also have fun home decor stuff, and separates. I’m a fan of a lot of their skirts.
I wouldn’t complain if someone gave me a gift card to their site for my birthday. Wink Wink, Hint Hint.
They always offer free US shipping on all orders over $50. Since a lot of their items are over $50, that’s a pretty nice deal.
(And you can believe, if I had the Hepcat Dress, I’d be sipping a hepcat while wearing it!)
