Today I bought a dress and the first medium I tried on felt a bit big and long so I asked the SA for another medium and it was just that slightly smaller I was looking for. Helpful but not if I'd been ordering online! The two dresses were at least one inch difference in length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1516470 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:49:56 +0000 kerry 1516470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, see through linen is always a risk. I think the white might too see through for some.</p> <p>Jackie are you wearing your Aritzia tees with a cami?</p> <p>Hope they work out, Joyce B!</p> <p>unfrumped, they are definitely creasey!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1516390 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 18:05:35 +0000 Joyce B 1516390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review. I ordered some in two sizes to see which is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1516263 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:34:45 +0000 Beth 1516263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review. I've been looking for linen tees after finding that J. Crew's version is entirely too sheer. Off to check out Gap's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515890 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 21:22:13 +0000 unfrumped 1515890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color of the soft black, but not sure I can make peace with woven 100% linen. I have had better success with linen knits, unless a blend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515851 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 19:10:14 +0000 jackiec 1515851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review. I"m always on the lookout for good T's. I love linen as well. I recently purchased 5 Aritzia T's that I am loving. Cotton/modal which is super soft. I started with one, and loved it so much I duplicated (or is that quintuplicated?....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515789 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 16:03:51 +0000 Gaylene 1515789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report. My linen Ts are getting a real workout this summer so I'll be checking out Gap for some replacements. </p> <p>Just a heads up about Gap changing their sizing, though. The sizing may have less to do with so-called "vanity" sizing (a dubious concept in my mind) and more to do with manufacturing practices. It is very common for manufacturers to fudge pattern sizing here and there to fit more pattern pieces on a bolt of fabric because doing so can significantly reduce production costs. Since Gap outsources to a host of different, off shore manufacturers who are competing for contracts, this seems a far more likely explanation than Gap doing a major overhaul in its fitting models and pattern designing. Incidently that fudging is why a size 8 pant in one colour can fit differently in another color. Different bolt, different manufacturer, different fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515761 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 15:15:13 +0000 Elle 1515761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review and especially for the washing report. I like to machine wash everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515754 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 14:58:43 +0000 kerry 1515754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, washed this morning (cold water, delicate cycle) and they came out great - of course they need a steam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515476 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 22:11:31 +0000 Jennifer 1515476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the shout-out. I bought a v-neck lemon yellow linen tee from Gap, and it's fantastic. Great fit, seems to be holding up well (I machine wash and air dry). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515442 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:55:21 +0000 kerry 1515442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't washed yet, Denise. Will report back when I do.</p> <p>Robin, I'm sure you could get these on a deal. Might be worth it. I always hold out for 40% off when buying from Gap.</p> <p>Sterling, I like the change too. Vanity sizing doesn't bug me as long as I understand that retailer sizing formula. I like this change because I'm usually a robust size 10 and sometimes the medium (8-10) was a bit too snug and the large a bit too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515438 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:39:48 +0000 CocoLion 1515438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the information. &nbsp;Have they held up in the wash? &nbsp;Off to investigate the US site for these... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515433 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:53:49 +0000 Robin 1515433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These sound like they'd be a great change from cotton and cotton blends.</p> <p>I'm pretty much at my limit for casual summer tops, but am still thinking of checking these out. :)Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515288 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 11:39:03 +0000 Anonymous 1515288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll need to check their website for changes in sizing. &nbsp;I am kinda glad they did this, I hate vanity sizing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515164 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 23:56:42 +0000 kerry 1515164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I used to be a medium in Gap but they've changed their sizing on some items (medium used to be 8-10 and now it's 6-8) so I bought a large (I'm usually a 10). Perfect size - loose but not too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515160 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 23:36:57 +0000 Anonymous 1515160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kerry -- I really like these shirts. &nbsp;Thanks for finding them. &nbsp;</p> <p>Did you get your normal size or did you size up? &nbsp;The comment section said this top runs small to very small and I am confused about what size to try. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515153 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 23:04:56 +0000 deb 1515153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-shout-out-to-gap-linen-tees#post-1515149 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 22:33:39 +0000 kerry 1515149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that some warm weather is here in Ontario, Canada, I've been able to test these new Gap tees. To be fair it hasn't been typically hot and humid yet and of course, I've had to make peace with the crease, but these really work. The linen is cool and soft. I like the cut, boxy but flattering. The white stands away from the body enough that I don't feel self conscious wearing it without a cami (a must because what would be the point of linen otherwise?).</p> <p>For anyone looking ...</p>
