DownEast Basics - Review (And a Giveaway)



I was fortunate to do a review of review of a DownEast Basics girls skirt a few months ago for my daughter. You can check out that review, here.  I was given the opportunity to review an item from the DownEast Basics site for mommy (me!) Here is a little information about the company from the website:

DownEast Outfitters a leader in stylish and affordable apparel, home furnishings and accessories, believes that shopping should be a fun, guilt-free experience. Founded in 1991 and still family-owned and operated, DownEast continues its goal of bringing customers the very best merchandise including modest clothing – from national brands to its own DownEast Basics apparel – at the very best prices.

The DownEast Basics clothing line features smart layering pieces and wardrobe enhancing garments so you can embrace the American classic look with your own sense of style.


There are so very many great items on the site, here are a few of my favorites:

 Print Shop Skirt

Sun Soiree Dress

First Mate Cardi


My Review:

 I was very fortunate to be able to review and item from the new arrivals collection, and I picked the Bling Skinny Short 
this was a unique looking short, that would be great for the summer.




Here is the product description from the site:

  • Skinny jean with white embroidery detail.
  • Back pocket features signature swirl design and overlapping chain stitch.
  • Crystal rivets and shank detail. 
  •  19" inseam.
  • Cotton/spandex.
  • Sizes 0-14. 
  • Imported.
 Well these jeans were all that I could want and more. I loved the way these pants/shorts fit. They hugged my curves in a good way, this was not tight and constricting.

Don't be scared away with the "skinny" aspect, they were slim fit but also stretchy and comfortable. I love the stitching on these shorts, it is so bold! So different from anything I have ever had, and different is good.




I was able to wear the jeans out to the movies with my husband, they were very comfortable and I felt dressier in the jeans with all of the "bling" and what woman doesn't like bling, an I right ladies?  I was able to wash and dry the jeans without any issues, no shrinking or fading, they are a quality product. I will surely be paking these shorts for our trip to Disney World this May, they will pack well, and they will be comfortable to walk around in the park all day.

I would recommended this for any jean lover, it you love great styles, and are not into letting it "all hang out" DownEast Basics has some great clothes for you. Remember Mother's Day is right around the corner (it will be her before you know it) and you would like to treat that special mother to a new outfit (or treat yourself) you will find what you are looking for at DownEast Basics.
