    I would love to leave a comment not just on the Sherlock range, but in general, about how delighted I was when I checked your size guide in the last couple of days and saw that my feedback given in store at the QVB in the last year or so, has been taken on board, resulting in your skirt sizes now being available to fit statuesque framed and curvier Australian women! I have a very hourglass figure and am not overweight, but have a statuesque frame and could not fit into most Kitten skirts :0(, now going by your size guide, I should fit into any of them! Thank you!!

    I’m loving the Sherlock collection, I’ve bought most of it online and I’ve been assisted by the blog in choosing the correct sizes. Thank you kittens for a thorough and detailed review of this current collection. It’s so well made and beautifully put together.
