Love this tunic in Stretch Gloss by Mela Purdie. It works with so many style pants. A new favourite ❤️ J R
I love this sweater so much! Very soft and lovely and high quality. I bought this color because I wear so much black and this is a great addition to add some variety. I also bought it in black! I wear a size 12 shirt and the size Medium sweater is perfect! Just the right amount of roominess! This sweater fits exactly as shown
I have always purchased Mela Purdie clothing for over 20 years and when the boutique closed I was delighted to find that I could get them from Impulse online. The sizes suit me and the quality is first rate, my latest purchases the Cap Shell Mache tops give an added boost to my wardrobe.
This is currently my favourite shirt of all time. Easy to wear, goes with everything and made of Mela Purdie s wonderfully comfortable Microprene fabric which is nice and cool for summer. I’m so keen on this shirt I have it in four different colours. It washes up well only needing a light press.
I got myself a white one of these just before Christmas and have worn it to the point where my partner is wondering why I have anything else in my wardrobe if I'm just going to wear the same shirt all the time... ! I love it, microprene is possibly my favourite of Mela's excellent fabrications, as I love a cotton rich blend and some light structure in my clothes. Everything about this shirt is perfect, the large pocket is a nice modern touch, as is the elongated rear hem and the scooped up sides. Quite oversized, but I love it that way. I am a size 8 and bought a size 6.
