I love Marla's clothes, too. Marla has a store/studio in Bethlehem, PA and I live only 45 minutes from there. The first time I went into her store I was sure nothing would fit me. Marla is tiny and very thin, and I'm 5'8" tall and not skinny. Not fat, but not skinny. Normal. She told me that her clothes are cut full and it's the drape that makes them hang beautifully. I indulged her and tried on a few pieces. I was shocked at how wonderful they looked on me. Needless to say, I now own about 10 articles of Marla's designs, including two jackets, one pair of pants and a bunch of shirts. Every time I wear one of Marla's pieces I feel so chic and I get compliments all around. I feel like a million bucks in her shirts and jackets. Best of all, her clothes are absolutely affordable. I even had Marla make a jacket for me that was based on one I'd seen Lauren Bacall wear in a 40s movie called, "The Big Sleep." I had always loved that jacket and wondered why there was nothing like that around any more. So, I took a picture of the TV screen when the movie was on and brought my photo to Marla. She made her rendition of the jacket and it turned out great. I just love it. Thanks, Marla, for giving real women (like someone else said) with real curves a stylish alternative to the current styles designed for girls with no hips and no tummy.
