The Lillie in Blue — a flowing open cardigan over a lace-trimmed top and wide-leg pants.

I am 59 years old, and somewhere along the way getting dressed stopped being a pleasure. The comfortable things in my closet were shapeless and dull; the pretty things pinched, clung, or showed more arm than I wanted to show. So most mornings I settled for “fine.”

I didn't realize how much that wore on me until a friend from my book club turned up to lunch looking relaxed and elegant at the same time. When I asked where her dress was from, she smiled and told me to read the Wrenley family's letter before I bought anything.

The Wrenley Family runs a small boutique, family-owned since 1996. Their letter walks through the handful of things they refused to compromise on. I am going to let their words carry it, because they say it better than I could.

1A complete outfit in seconds

A complete outfit in seconds

The Lillie brings together three coordinating pieces — a longline open cardigan, a matching top and matching pants. Put them on and you're dressed: no guesswork, no standing in front of the wardrobe wondering what goes with what. Wear them together for a polished look, or separately with your everyday favorites.

“Such a lovely shopping experience. The clothing is beautiful and I really appreciate the attention to detail. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on their new collections!”Lovely Shopping Experience · Wrenley Family customer

2Delicate lace, in all the right places

Delicate lace, in all the right places

A panel of floral lace sits at the neckline of the top, and the same lace finishes the cuffs of the cardigan sleeves. It's a small, feminine detail that makes the whole outfit look special — the kind people notice when you walk into the room.

“I love finding clothing that feels both comfortable and elegant. The Wrenley Family has such a lovely selection of timeless pieces.”Beautiful Styles · Wrenley Family customer

3A flowing shape that skims, never clings

A flowing shape that skims, never clings

The light, sheer open cardigan falls softly over the top and pants and moves as you walk, creating a long, graceful line. Its sleeves cover the arms, and the whole silhouette skims the body rather than hugging it.

“Really happy with my purchase! Everything looks lovely and the whole shopping experience felt simple and easy. Thank you!”So Happy With My Purchase · Wrenley Family customer

4Comfort that moves with you

The pants have an easy elastic waistband, so you stay comfortable when sitting, walking or enjoying a long lunch. The wide legs fall straight and loose — elegant to look at, and nothing pinches.

“I'm so glad I came across this store. It's refreshing to find beautiful styles that suit women of all ages. Such a lovely collection.”A Wonderful Little Find · Wrenley Family customer

5Dressed up or dressed down

Pair the Lillie with flats for a relaxed lunch or time with family, or add jewelry and your favorite heels for a wedding, an anniversary dinner or a special occasion. One set, ready for whatever the day brings.

“Exactly the kind of clothing I love wearing. Comfortable, flattering and easy to style. Just what I was looking for!”Comfortable And Stylish · Wrenley Family customer

I do not usually write things like this. But I spent too many years settling for clothes that were merely fine — and this one dress quietly gave me back the pleasure of getting dressed. If that sounds like you, I hope you find your size before it's gone.
