I love Preen a lot but I have some sizing issues with it. Could just be my body? Thing is I’ve heard this from several retailers. And I know of one in particular that stopped carrying the line because of it. Preen’s tailored dresses are especially weirdly cut around curves and bulge unflatteringly around the midsection and ass if you’re not long and lean. That’s just my experience. When the clothes fit though, they fit beautifully. I wore a silk Preen draw-string waist dress on etalk last week that fell below the knee with sheer panels that almost expose everything, only they don’t, and it’s my favourite thing about my closet right now.
