I am awkward proportions, tall, 2 inches longer in the upper body and longer legs. Elvi suits me, fits well and clothes hang well. The nearest Elvi is over 40 miles away and not really accessible. I only shop on the internet when desperate. Some Elvi clothes I have had for years as they don't date. 2014 will be a sad year as my jacquard denim jacket is very close to the end of its life span. I have not worn denim before but love this jacket to bits. It is so much classier than other denim jackets. There are few other makes where I can be sure of getting what I want in size and style. I like to look well dressed and Elvi helps me to achieve this. Barbara Travers .
