Most of my aesthetic issues with Zaftique have been with their blouses and pants, though. There have been a few dresses that leave me scratching my head, but most of them are much better formal choices that what I've come across in other stores. The one purchase I've made with them thus far was the Guinevere dress in navy. The name is highly inaccurate, because the design is very 19th Century, a true Empire dress. Amen to that.

I placed my order on Friday morning, I got a confirmation it was out the door about four hours later, and it arrived on my doorstep late Monday afternoon. All the pieces I ordered were fully lined, and the quality of construction was excellent. The hems and seams are strong and straight, the sizing was true, and the pieces are precisely as advertised. What's more, I got a silk velvet blouse for about $22.00! Oh, and the burnout velvet blouse I was wearing last night got a LOT of compliments. If you haven't ordered from Zaftique before and you find something you love in this sale, I urge you to go ahead and order. But I'll still point and laugh when I find something particularly risible among their designs.
