“I placed the order on the 16 of December 2025, and received it on the 22 of December 2025.”

When asked if she would recommend sizing down for this specific pantsuit to avoid tailoring costs. Atiyyah shared:

“I wouldn’t recommend sizing down because the size was fine, just the length was too long - if you size down, the rest might be too tight.”
