Oh, I absolutely loved this. The science of collecting all the data seemed so daunting and I’m so impressed with how it turned out and all the commonalities you found.
Definitely daunting! was just texting my old editor about how putting it together made me miss the days of working on an actual editorial team when i could turn to someone next to me and ask, is this part interesting???? Needless to say I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing! These also seem to be better stocked. Just swapped in the link, really appreciate it. Also having fun browsing this retailer in general... so much good stuff.
Trousers! I’m also a 12-14 in mall sizes and have found vintage, size 16 Jones New York (mid 90s at least, turned to garbage polyester in 2000s) are where it’s at! I’ve come across 100% silk and wool pairs.
I've had this hunt too and my go to is vintage pendelton wool trousers (almost always lined and 100% wool)! I'm the same as you size-wise and usually find 16 works but I always check measurements
I loved reading this as much as I enjoyed taking the survey (and have since thought if a dozen more things i wish i had said). There's no doubt that great jeans make the world go round - I had already convinced a few friends to try the AG Kora jeans - so now i want to try some of the other recommendations in the newsletter. Looking forward to reading more of everybody's answers. Thank you for this great community and happiest of holidays!
Some highly relevant recs here I can't wait to check out! Thank you for all you do, your newsletter is one of the highlights of my week and I usually stop everything to read as soon as it posts.

Jane Herman sent me here and this is so good! Roucha is a new brand to me - thanks for sharing. (I have those cherry candles and they are the best. -I just have to make myself use them and not save them indefinitely because they feel so special). Happy New Year!

This was such a fun read! On a more serious note, a friendly FYI that Ballerina Farm is engaged in some stuff that I don’t think aligns with your values: https://www.reddit.com/r/FundieSnarkUncensored/s/iXD4le6qj4
I just stumbled across the same ones made on a family farm in California, sold by an independent retailer in Portland, OR lol every buzzword! https://sevensisterspdx.com/products/cherry-beeswax-birthday-candles?variant=50202771423521

Oh my goodness - I'm so mortified by that mix-up, thank you for the incredibly kind correction. Just fixed it! Really sorry about that.
And THANK YOU for your generous words about the newsletter, and for responding to the survey. I absolutely loved your answers, and outfit :)
Oh please don't be mortified! Typos are inevitable. :)

Does anyone have an opinion on how sizing runs on the Alex Mill jumpsuits?
