Ask Vilma: IC Collection
Answers from Vilma Virella — 32 years in fashion design, 20 years carrying IC Collection.
What is IC Collection?
IC Collection is a contemporary women's fashion brand for women who want clothing that is sophisticated, artistic, comfortable, and noticeably different from ordinary department-store fashion.
What makes IC Collection different from other designers?
IC Collection stands out for its architectural shapes, asymmetrical cuts, statement jackets, flowing tunics, distinctive prints, textured fabrics, and coordinated separates. The pieces have a dramatic, artistic look while still being wearable and flattering — and everything is made in the USA.
Who is the IC Collection woman?
She's confident, sophisticated, and individualistic. She wants fashion that feels artistic and distinctive without looking overly trendy or trying too hard — interesting shapes, asymmetry, texture, and coordinated separates that make getting dressed feel polished and intentional.
IC Collection especially flatters women who prefer forgiving, architectural silhouettes over very fitted clothing. It works beautifully for skimming the midsection, creating visual interest through layering, or balancing proportions with longer jackets, angled hems, and fluid shapes. Many pieces are particularly strong on curvier figures, fuller midsections, or anyone who simply feels best in clothing that moves away from the body.
Why does Vilma's carry IC Collection?
We've carried IC Collection for 20 years. It's a perfect fit for women 40+ and for boutique customers looking for something they won't see everywhere else.
Where is IC Collection made?
IC Collection is designed and made in the USA.
Does IC Collection run true to size?
Sizes run generously — see the size chart on each product page, and the detailed fit guidance below.
What size range do you carry?
From XS through 3X — missy sizes S–XXL plus a dedicated 1X–3X plus range.
Which IC pieces are the most flattering?
Asymmetrical and high-low tunics — best overall. Probably IC's strongest silhouette: the extra length, uneven hem, and relaxed shape draw the eye vertically, away from the stomach and hips — ideal if you carry weight through the middle or just don't want anything clinging.
Long or open-front jackets — very flattering. The open center creates a vertical line instead of defining the waist. Wear a simple black tank and pant underneath and let the jacket do all the work.
Wide-leg pants with elastic waists — excellent. Stretchy fabrics, easy fit, endlessly wearable.
Straight, relaxed dresses. I prefer IC's straight or slightly A-line dresses over the slim fits — like the Ruffle and Balloon Sleeve Dress with its straight silhouette and comfortable, relaxed fit.
What's your fit advice for a first-time IC buyer?
Buy by the garment's silhouette and your measurements — not the size you wear in other brands. IC's sizing is distinctive: S through XXL run approximately 40"–50" in the bust, with a separate 1X–3X plus range (approximately 52"–56").
My rules: for relaxed tunics and high-low styles, go with your bust measurement — don't size up for stomach or hips when the garment already drapes away from the body. Between sizes in a flowing top? Choose the smaller one; too much fabric can overwhelm. For structured jackets, watch the bust and shoulders if you'll button it — open-front jackets are more forgiving. For pants, use the actual waist and hip measurements; don't assume they're as roomy as the tops.
How does IC sizing compare to Kozan and Joseph Ribkoff?
IC Collection fits the most generously of the three — often consider one size smaller than expected in loose tunics and oversized styles. Kozan is relaxed but more conventional; start with your normal Kozan size. Joseph Ribkoff is the most fitted and body-conscious; stay with your established Ribkoff numeric size. Don't convert sizes mechanically between brands — silhouette matters.
What do IC's fabrics feel like?
A smooth, substantial stretch fabric that moves with you and holds its shape beautifully.
How do I care for IC pieces? Do they travel well?
Excellent for traveling. The majority of pieces are machine washable — always check the care label on each piece.
How well do IC pieces hold up?
For many years. We have customers who tell us they still wear IC pieces they bought from us 20 years ago.
What are Vilma's current favorites?
Two favorite pants: the 5005P and 2325P in the popcorn fabric. The 6900P, 1005P, and 6266P are staples. Any of the popular asymmetric jackets. The tunics are always fun and easy — especially the C1251T. And the Cut-Out collection — dresses, pants, jumpsuits, tops, jackets, and skirts like the 7223T, 7234S, 7246J, 7244P, 7224JS, 7232JS, and 7236D — plus the similar C1238J, C1240D, C1234T, C1239S, and C1237P.
How do customers style IC pieces for special occasions?
Many ways — a jacket, a shawl, or exotic jewelry such as Jeff Leib designs.
Can IC pieces go from day to evening?
Absolutely. Style 6135D, for example, wears casually with sandals or flats during the day, then dresses up with a higher heel and elevated accessories for the evening.
Which pieces do customers buy again and again?
Many! But the most-repeated are the 6266P five-button pant, the 1005P bubble pant, the 3856D in multiple colors, the 6899T, 3297JS, 6900P, 2325P, 7172D, and similar silhouettes in that fabric.
How often do new arrivals land?
Every week — and many styles sell out quickly.
Do IC pieces ever go on sale?
Yes — selected styles appear in our sale section.
