    Thumbs up

    I received my Nuu Muus yesterday. Initially, I got one but knowing that Lent is coming up, I went back and got two more (they have a generous return policy so I figured that if they didn't fit/I didn't like them, I could send them back). Even though I did not ask them to combine the orders for shipping, they did and upgraded me to express delivery, which was a nice surprise. Enid also wrote a nice note on my receipt--thought that was pretty classy. These things make a difference to me when deciding where to shop.

    Anyway, my first impression of the dress is excellent. The fabric is silky soft, durable, and comfortable. It is a well-made, quality product. Love that you can just pop it on. It feels good to wear.

    Fit: I have a hard time finding things that fit me because I have a petite frame and am 5'5." I'm not anorexic skinny---I'm fit/muscular but with vanity sizing, I find it more difficult to find things that aren't too big. Ordered an XS and it fits like a dream. It's not baggy but not too tailored, and very flattering. Love the length---it hits around lower-mid thigh, so it's not too short but not too long. Arm holes are perfect, no gaping but not restrictive.

    These dresses will be a staple for my weekends/off work hours during the warm/hot months.

    My only suggestion is the prints---would like to see more colorful, geometric prints from which to choose. Or bold bright solids in jewel tones. I got one of the floral designs (Lime one) and it's nice, but my taste runs more to more non-girly designs.

    I got mine yesterday as well (I only ordered one!) and I concur...great dress. Mine also fits beautifully - it's a tad fitted (as in, it's a tad too sexy for day to day use for a 43 year old!) but I'm getting smaller so I anticipated that and ordered a S even though I was probably still between a M and an S. Length is perfect, and I was pleasantly surprised that this fits me in the bust and waist, but doesn't bind across my arms/shoulders (like the Terry eurohalter does).

    I opted for the print with a black background and a geometric pink print and it's adorable. I'm a tad concerned that the fabric will be too hot for exercising in the summer, but I bought this more for casual wear so I'm ok with it.

    Now I need some warm weather so that I can show it off!

    Oh, I also got a little note from Enid and a pixe stick...how cute is that?!?

    I'm glad you guys had such positive experiences! They were so nice when I ordered mine a couple years ago - I'm happy the customer service is still important to them.

    I have told two of my work gal pals about them too, and they are excited to try them! We're all kinda holding out for one of the brighter patterns to go on sale, tho.

    I couldn't resist that print, either. I think it's my favorite. Forgot about the pixie stick, which was a sweet touch (sorry, bad pun).

    A followup...

    Selkie ended up selling me the Fiesta print NuuMuu she got that I so desperately wanted. She loved her NuuMuus but ended up getting one of the newer prints that ended up being very similar in colors so really didn't need both. The Fiesta print had been on sale and she must have gotten the last XS as it was gone when I went to order. I just received it yesterday, and it was LOVE at first sight! The colors are absolutely perfect as I just got new turquoise frame glasses (which are Transitions so I wear as sunglasses too), and the Fiesta print is turquoise, green, and dark purple circles on white. Nice w/my green eyes too.

    As for sizing, the XS fit me perfectly. It is a little longer than would work for me as a fitness garment, though. From some of the photos of other women running in them, either they used to run shorter (hit at the upper thigh), or those gals are just really tall or long waisted, as mine comes down to my mid-lower thigh. Perfect for a casual meal out or summer party, but too long for yoga, running, or bike riding. I was mainly looking to get one to use as a casual dress in Belize, though, so it's absolutely perfect for that!

    A shout out to Selkie for her kindness -- my 50th birthday is coming up next week, so I told her this was my gift to myself, and I couldn't have done it without her!

    Someday I'll post a photo of me wearing it in Belize, with a tan.

    It was fated, Emily. The NuuMuu was destined to be yours. ENJOY
