Universal Standard Reviews

I've purchased many many items from Universal Standard. I can't say enough good things about them.

I spent most of my adult life looking for minimalist plus size fashion, only to be met with garish prints and frilly, unfashionable nonsense.

US uses high quality materials to create well made shirts, skirts, and pants. If you take care of the pieces - as in, follow the care instructions on the label, they'll look good as new a year later.

I've also had to return items for sizing issues, and have had absolutely no trouble with returns.

It's about time that a company brought size equity and style together. Hurray for JCrew for forming this company. The colors ways are glorious and styles fantastic. I love that one can see how the garments will look on different body types. Their exchange/return policy is great. My only peeves are that dislike about their clothing, is that I wish they had more 100% cotton clothing items, and that the cuts across one's back and upper arms are too tight at least for me. It's as if they were being cut for tiny women. I love soft, breathable, all cotton garments and don't like anything overly clingy. I don't know why all larger clothing lines seem to think larger women want to wear garments with lots of lycra, or poly blends, or want tees that cling. The styling is tip top, I just wish they would ditch the dependence on poly and lycra and depend on my breathable fabric choices like soft jersey. All of their styles are incredibly flattering, and slimming.
