Lay it on the Line..
I’ve found this clothes shop on Etsy that’s the polar opposite of precision cut sophistication and I’m sharing because I can’t deny they’re calling me: That loucheness is inspired charisma and I just want to dig down deep into those fabulous pockets.
Designed by a Chinese girl, Miss Juan, the store called Morden Miss embraces everything loose and understated with a touch of bohemian chic.
The website claims to be for larger sizes..but how effortlessly hip does it looks on these models?
The trousers? You know your other halve will roll their eyes, but just so e.a.s.y. and the mix and match opportunities are endless. Besides, baggy trousers will rule this summer.
They’re the sort of clothes you want to throw on without a thought in the world and run out the door – the sort I’m always looking for..
Love the colour, the pockets…the double buttons..the length..the versatility.
The prices? Roughly between £30 – £40…plus shipping from China..and there are pages and pages of designs.
But the major pitfall of this desire is not being able to try anything on/ordering from China….the reviews are generally good – but there are a few worrying ones – would a purchase would be worth a punt? What do you think? Does it float your boat?
Would you? Could you?

Lovin the Harem pants , have a super Day 🙂
These are in navy linen which make them very very tempting.. x
Loooooove loose style! But order from China? I’d hesitate…. a lot. On the other hand, just about everything we own comes from China so why not order directly? xxx
Because it’s an Etsy shop rather than fast fashion does it make it OK to order from China..designers there have to sell their goods just like everybody else..or is this a fast fashion outlet anyway?? I just don’t know..
There must be something in the air, last week I nabbed a voluminous but fluid jersey shape I haven’t even seen or thought of for ages. It feels so good and easy on! I think these clothes look really good and feel that it’s harder to produce shapes like these that flatter than fitted clothes. I would definitely wear the grey shirt dress but I would hesitate to order from China due to the very high UK customs fees.
But the base prices are very reasonable which would probably just mark it up to good high street…
Love them all. I would want to touch before buying though….in my quaint old way!xx
I’m surprised how much I’ve adapted to buying online as touching is so important. I think there’s a tipping point between buying something expensive that you know has good customer service on returns or buying cheaper and taking a risk..this would be a risk. But if it WAS a good one I would buy more…..
While I wouldn’t say I’ve ever been a fan of this particular style of trouser, I do adore the dresses! Such perfect, effortless, casual, chic for running around town on these cold, drab winter days. I’ve never had issues ordering from China, but sizes are different, so just be careful when choosing, readers. Xx
Very good point..checking sizing is a must x
I’m a huge fan of baggy coats and oversized pants go well with a fitted top and tall shoes.
Not a bad collection!
Tempted? Would you buy all the way from China?? x
The baggy trousers are soooo cool, I adore the effortless feel of these silhouettes, you almost want to sleep in such comfy trousers ! xxxxx
I think baggy trousers are like marmite! I’m a lover…Just which pair?! x
I would want to know what size the model was wearing because the loucheness could be swiftly lost if you buy the wrong size. Several tricky elements to consider but the price is sooooo good, it might be worth trying it out. Report back if you do. Be the canary down the mineshaft and I will follow 🙂
I accept my mission..I looked up the very first dress – it does give sizes..38.7 inches long and I need 42…we are just that much bigger over here..but I will look up the measurements on the trousers too..ankle cut is all the rage now – as are culottes! x
The gray dress and the gray shirt dress!!!! Love!
Great colours…
Oh my!!! You are coming with some real gems these days, I thank you for that. These are clothes you can live in and still feel sophisticated and cool… Love it!!!
They also look like things you could layer up so good for winter and summer..win win really.. x
I might consider the trousers but I feel like these kinds of clothes would just make a larger lady like me look huge.
I have this theory that loose is good because the eye assumes the optical illusion of smallness..think of the opposite – and size 8 girl wearing a size 0 body con dress and bulging out of it?.the eye sees strain/rolls which equals fat! But in loose clothes, the eye sees the smallest area and assumes everything else is smaller..promise! x
I love loose style, its so effortless and chic! 😉

New Blog Post: How To Achieve All Your New Year’s Resolutions
Hope you had a lovely New Year! I think we all need a bit of this in our wardrobes.. x
Wow what a great inspiration.. I like especially the voluminous skirt:) where did u get the pics from?
There’s a link in line one and line three..Morden Miss shop on Etsy! x
I love the look even though I know I couldn’t pull it off!
There is a touch of the artist’s smock about it..but it’s that ease that I love.. x
I LOVE this look! Can’t get enough of it. An online purchase like that is always a risk, but I’m a gamblin kinda girl. I would say take a chance. Find the lowest price point item that you like and hit the order button. If it meets your expectations on arrival… SCORE! If not chalk it up to a learning curve and be happy you didn’t dish out too much
You’re right – if we don’t try, you never know..the proof is in the pudding! x
A lot of it is very Chinese style. It’s hard to see the quality. It’s tough but some stuff is hard to sell online because of this. It’s hard but once you put the ‘made in China’ label on something it cheapens it.
It is hard because not everything in China can be mass produced. But how to tell? I think what’s coming out is being very strict on measurements and only buy if you truly love and are prepared to take a risk.. x
As I read this I found the old tune humming in my head: “Falling in love again….” I LOVE these loose lines! Thanks for sharing this wonderful shop.
Please let us know if you get anything and we’ll pool our info.. x
Love it, absolutely perfect for me. I have had a quick gander at the site, saved the site to have another look tomorrow. Many Thanks, Kx
There’s rather a lot there! But if you get anything – shout – I’m checking out the lengths of the trousers today..unfortunately the dress was no-go x
OMG! I love them all.😀
There are absolutely PERFECT for you..in fact..you could almost be the model! x
Ooh the shirt dress and the grey tunic dress with oversized buttons both look great. I say: go for it but choose something fairly affordable to begin with, and if it goes wrong you won’t have invested too much into it. If it goes well… you can go back for more! One word of advice — I only bought clothes from China a couple of times and they were great but soon realised that when it says size L it tends to be the equivalent of a European M: in both my instances they seemed to run a little small. So I’d keep an eye out for that, unless the descriptions include measurements. Good luck! x
I hear you..I’m going to choose ONE item..and see how it goes..I’ll report back.. x
I love the loose comfy fitting look.
let us know about your order, size wise and how long it took 🙂 It’d be great to find a good online store to purchase one of a kind pieces^^
I will, promise x
