I love Emmy Designs- I've had the webshop bookmarked on my laptop for more than a year! I love their sweaters most, and just submitted this year's annual order. Great style, great shapes, great materials, great service. Their pants and skirts are also adorable, but here comes my one and only gripe (and it won't apply to everyone). Emmy considers all body shapes and sizes except in one dimension: height. Though not stated explicitly, Emmy is created by and for tall women. Which is amazing! For the average (and below, like me) woman though, the pants and skirts from Emmy WILL require hemming. As a 155 cm tall gal, I feel like a child wearing a grownup's clothes. I wish they mentioned hemming on their website more, I think they only mention that they can be made longer! All measurements are included for every garment so it's not a surprise, but some styles won't survive cutting that much off. In a perfect world, Emmy would offer some petite sizes to avoid losing yards of extra material every garment, or at least for their most popular ones. Until then, I'll try sticking to tops and shorter skirts that I'll wear as full length.
