This order was just a mess. The pu trousers ripped at the waist band whilst out which was most embarrassing - the fabric had not been sewn together properly and where there is an elasticated gather it just fell apart. The second pair of trousers were not true to fit and were very tight. So one pair fitted perfectly and broke and the other pair did not fit at all - both pairs I ordered the same size.
The response from elvi was also not what I expected. I have always been a fan of this brand and recently turned to on line shopping for the convenience, my experience is that actually you are better off with a store where you can speak to somebody when something goes wrong. Think I am going to go back to Marina Rinaldi now.
