Review and Giveaway: Ministry of Supply Easier Than Silk Nehru.

Last week I posted about the Ministry of Supply pants I was sent and how much I like them. I like them so much! They also sent me an Easier Than Silk Nehru top which was so generous of them, but I had a really hard time picking a size for because, as often happens, I fall in between the sizes on the chart.

I tried their live chat service but got into the usual polite argument where the chat representative insisted the measurements on the size chart are body measurements and I point out they're actually garment measurements. (This happened with Grana too and I wish online retailers would just get it together already because I AM CONFUSED.) Anyway! It's a really nice blouse but I bought the wrong size (a medium) and I'm not sure the color is great on me either (but that's totally my fault):



It's a really nice blouse. The fabric is great - light, wrinkle-resistant and washable. I love the good details, like chest darts and a drop hem but it's just too big on me, especially in the shoulders and sleeves. The small probably would've been a better fit on top but I suspect too tight around my hips and the nehru style really needs to fall straight. 


The blush color is awfully pretty but doesn't do much for me, unfortunately. I just wanted the pretty spring color!  In conclusion: This is a really nice blouse (size medium) but it just doesn't work for me. Maybe it would look better on you? I'll bet it would. I only wore it for the photo shoot, so it's basically brand new. If you'd like the Easier Than Silk Nehru top  for your very own, leave a comment. I'll pick a random number and post it on Friday! This giveaway is open worldwide. One entry per person, please.

  7. Nice, it's great that it's (I'm assuming) machine washable. Thanks (kinda) for introducing me to a new brand :)
