It's Summertime, Lets Romp!

I’ll admit it. It’s not actually summer yet. Most of us (myself included) prefer to think of Summer as extending from Memorial Day to Labor Day. We also all would expect the weather to cooperate accordingly. Hence us packing this romper to bring to London, despite being told before we knew our destination that the weather would be 60’s. We’re Wisconsin girls, we can hang with some bare legs in the 60’s. We pretend like it’s summer as many months as possible in order to cope with our harsh Winters. Ugh, I promised myself I wasn’t going to use the word. Thankfully, it’s far enough away that I can go back to my happy place in the warmth.

If you remember back to last year, we did a romper round-up of great tall options. If you’re interested in checking it out, you can click here. We just did a poll on whether anyone needs a shorts round-up because that has ALWAYS been a tough area for us. Whether you’re young or old, we all deserve shorts that we’ll be comfortable in. We also deserve shorts that won’t get us in trouble in high school for length, but still should be able to wear them like everyone else.

Luckily I don’t recall getting into much trouble for those, probably due to avoidance of wearing them at school. Caitlin was not so lucky and vividly recalls her run-ins with various teachers and administrators. How ironic that the shorter one of us is the one who received the brunt of it!? I definitely wore some sketchy length mini skirts as well, such was 2000’s fashion and Britney Spears effect on us all.

I digress. Point being, we’ve run the gamut on inseam lengths. I think we’ve both hit a sweet spot, and this romper from Amalli Talli fits the bill. I couldn’t have designed a better romper myself. With our thick thighs, we’re constantly waging a war against the thigh creep and our shorts. No problems with this romper. It glides over the thighs with ease and skims them. So not only is it super flattering but also super comfortable. Such is the case with all of our Amalli Talli items.

Another love note has to go to the elasticized waist. I’ve become wary of them, due to past experiences with struggling to get them over my generous hip/butt area. Ripping has been a past problem. I’ve also panicked in my quest to get it off and use the bathroom. Not only is the waist elastic enough to perfectly highlight my waist (and where it’s actually located), but it slips on and off over my larger areas without a second thought AND stays intact where you want it in the waist.

Regarding the fit and sizing. Amy and Alli did speak about how the cut was generous and we’d be better off sizing down. While we can fit the Medium, we ended up in the Large size due to the popularity and y’all beating us to it. Honestly, we’re quite happy with this. The thigh sizing was most important to us, and this ended up leaving us feeling confident and comfortable.

They had just posted a poll today on if people tend to read the sizing information listed on the product page. I had to chuckle to myself because I do a bit of both. If I have a background in ordering from a certain brand, I tend to trust myself a bit more than listening to the description. Plus, once you start trying on clothing and seeing how you like things to fit, you’ll have a bit more of an opinion. But when in doubt, we definitely reach out and find a second opinion. These two are always happy to help in whatever way they can!

All in all, if you’re considering this romper don’t delay. They hold their pieces to a high standard of excellence and they will NOT be re-cutting this romper. It’s available in cobalt blue and black as pictured. Plus, you’ll wear this endlessly all summer. Like we mentioned in our London posts, packing is made all the easier by one-piece wonders.
