Author: Elspeth Sandys Publisher: Otago University Press
At the end of the first volume of Elspeth Sandys’ absorbing memoir, What Lies Beneath, an adult Elspeth has solved the riddle of her birth parents and begun to piece together the events of her early life and find her place in the world. Casting Off begins on the eve of Elspeth’s first marriage. She and her husband will soon depart New Zealand for England, joining a throng of Kiwis who chose to uproot themselves from their native land. New attachments will be formed: new loves – of people; of places – will take the place of the old. But the home country will continue to exercise a pull. Backgrounding the personal story in this deeply satisfying memoir is the story of the Thatcher years and the creeping virus of neo-liberalism, the sexual revolution of the sixties, the beguiling world of books – reading and writing – and theatre. Elspeth Sandys’ refreshing honesty and her skill as a writer of fiction and drama propel the reader through an absorbing life story that is equally a commentary on the meaning of memoir and the peculiarities of memory.

GQ KIDS...For the love of being FLY!
Size: 8, Color: Sky Blue
I am highly suggesting this suit for purchase because the color alone is a standout and will have people asking where did you get the suit from? The length of the bowtie is adjustable, the color is bright and lively, the fabric is pure quality. You can run a hot iron over it or a steamer to get the fold lines out of it from how it was packaged, but it seems that even if you just hung it up in the bathroom while running a hot shower, the wrinkling would drop. I think the purchase price is good for all that you get which is a quality blazer, great slacks and a bowtie. It's a one stop shop for a graduation event, dinner, a formal party or even a photoshoot. My nephew wears a size 7 or 6-8, so I ordered a size 8 to be safe and it fits nicely.

Cute sky blue linen suit for toddler!
Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue, Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue
I got this Trasign Kids Linen Suit in sky blue for my 2 year old, thinking my wife said “blue” (turns out she meant navy or something darker 😅). I actually really like the light, airy sky blue. It’s fresh, summery, and looks adorable on him for photos or special occasions. My wife? Not so much. She immediately said “baby blue ugly” 😅😅
On the plus side:
• Soft fabric – linen blend feels gentle and breathable on little skin, no itchiness or stiffness.
• Nicely packaged – arrived with very little wrinkling (barely needed steaming), which is a win for linen.
• Good fit for a toddler – true to size, easy to button, and the shorts/pants have adjustable waist for growing kids.
• Looks sharp once on – the set gives that classic little gentleman vibe without feeling over the top.
It’s a quality piece overall, just a classic case of “what one spouse loves, the other doesn’t” on the color. If sky blue works for your family (or you’re shopping solo like me 🤣), it’s a solid buy.

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

Very stylish💜💜
Size: 6, Color: Light Blue, Size: 6, Color: Light Blue
This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
