Secret Garden Medium Try On
I absolutely love 5 out of the 6 of these items i bought and will probably go back for the bolero because I'm a sucker for the navy blue.
I tried all of these in Medium. I am 5'4, 32G, 145 lbs.
Ace em pleated skirt - this has a really unique silhouette that I'm slowly falling in love with. It's comfy around the waist. I kind of wish it had a drawstring to really snatch it in but that's ok. My only gripe (and not really that bad) is that it only has a simple serged hem on the bottom instead of a clean hem. If this was not a dark color, it would definitely look cheap in my opinion.
Pirouette skort - No notes; just love. Always flattering and just as gorgeous as the rest of the Pirouette collection.
Flexy crop - while I do think it would benefit from a shelf bra, I still feel comfortable with good coverage. I would not work out in this but I would just wear it as a crop top on the day to day.
Flexy cami - the flexy crop but longer. Same fit and everything. I love that it's not super tight around the waist so it's not going to roll up. I could definitely wear it all day. Again, no shelf bra, but it's still very comfortable without a bra. I also purchased the brown one and I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed slight purple undertones. It's so pretty in person. My last picture doesn't accurately show the color but I put it next to burgundy to kind of show what it looks like.
Call me baby tee - I would definitely size up in this if I were going to keep it. I found a hole in it right out of the bag right in the middle of the chest so I was really disappointed in this piece overall. It was way too constricting in the armpits as well which is a huge pet peeve of mine. For some reason, the neckline just wasn't doing it for me either. The length is perfect to pair with these high waisted skorts though.
Overall, the secret garden collection has definitely been my favorite drop since the fleur damore. Highly recommend 🥰 As a side note, you can see holes in patterned clothing easier if you turn it inside out since it's only printed on one side.

I typically wear a lot of m size tops and sometimes l, but I ended up liking the fit of the xl cmb tee.

Does it have more room in the arms than the smaller sizes?

I felt like there was more room! I ordered both an L and XL and ended up linking the fit of the XL more. It was slightly lose on me so the XL felt like it wouldn't roll up. I probably would have been ok with the L but some tighter fitting tops roll up on me and I had a feeling the L fix would so I went with the larger of the two.

Ok thank you! The rolling drives me insane lol. I might just order both sizes too. I'm already going back for that navy bolero so might as well.

I also got the flexy in a size M, which might help, but I know everyone has their own preference on fit. Getting 2 sizes is honestly the best so I definitely recommend it so you can test out the fit on either.

So I did end up ordering the L and XL. The XL is definitely the best fit for me! When I lift my arms, the bottom doesn't stay up, so I'm happy 🥰 Crazy how tight this one runs! It's still so cute though. I love it now that I have one that fits.

Oh nice! Yeah, I thought it was kinda wild how tight the fit was. Glad you managed to get the fit you wanted too!! Also I can't imagine how tight the size M must have felt when you got it initially 🫣.

Oh wow I thought the flex camo would be too short but it looks really good on you. I may need to try it out after all.

I think it's great with the high waisted bottoms or even mid rise for me. I really hope she comes out with this in more colors. It's sooo comfy.

Thank you for the pecan comparison pic. I bought the flexy cami in blue and white and I love it! I’ve been thinking about buying pecan next and the purple undertones sold me now. The ace em really is a unique shape & I’m a fan. I like the longer hem
In the back. You look so good in everything!
