Modcloth Purchase November

For over a year I have had clothes waiting in my basket at Modcloth, picking a new choose different styles and reading review after review of clothes and accessories. 
Finally after going through my closet I decided it was about time I suck up the nervous and make an order. 
I have order once before but that was at a different weight and those items don't fit anymore.
The items I picked were two tops, two dress, a part of pants and a turquoise necklace. 
 
Bright and Baubly Necklace in Mint $19.99 USD
Love Ballad Tunic in Sheer Tan Size:1X $39.99 USD
Teacher's Petal Top in Yellow Size:1X
$44.99 USD

Carefree Crescendo Pants in Black Size 1X $44.99 USD
Work this Way Dress in Red Plaid Size 1X $27.99 
From Office to Outing Dress Size:1X $69.99 USD
 
The only item that didn't have much in the way of reviews was the pants, as they are new to the store. Taking a leap of faith I bought them. 
Now these are probably not the best photos I have ever take, but I have to figure out a better way to take them. 
The Plaid dress in Red, is gorgeous. It is make with light weight fabric that can be layered to make warmer in the colder months, and the sleeves are cut so they are not restricted of the arms. 

The Tunic, is definitely long on my 5'2' frame. But there is definitely enough room to move in it, the sleeves are not tight at all, like some long sleeve tops and it has cut little ties to hold the cuffs up. 
The next is my favourite, the Teacher petal top, now this is my first time wearing yellow, I always shy away from really bright colours, but change is good. 
In all the top is perfect, beautifully cut. 
Being big busted doesn't help in the buying of tops, especially when it comes to button up tops, I have learnt to size up. Being so this fits perfectly. 
Now in terms of the pants, they are a perfect fit. They hug in nice around the waist and make you situate curvy. This is only one problem... The stitching. As on as I tried them on writhing five minutes the front seam near the zipper came apart, mainly due to the single line of stitching holding the pants together. After trying a couple of different stitches, a tight 1mm zig zag worked the best, allowing the seam to stretch with the fabric. 
I have only just tried this dress on and I love it. The fabric doesn't cling, it's flattering at the bust and waist. The belt is a shiny fake leather with gold buckle, and is just the right length. 
Being 5'2' it comes just to my knees and the 3/4 length sleeves are not tight or too long. In a whole this dress is perfection.
