So classing so cute! I am wondering if the sleeves are a little long? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1037214 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 01:54:26 +0000 Adelfa 1037214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, Amy, I had this strong feeling that it wasn't just this blouse. I have other silk shirts that fit nicely and don't gap, so I know it's possible! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1037201 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 01:44:44 +0000 Amy 1037201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid I have this same problem with Ann Taylor blouses. You'll find something better elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1037196 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 01:36:04 +0000 Adelfa 1037196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. Onward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036742 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:25:02 +0000 Angie 1036742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the ladies. You are inbetween sizes. Onto a better blouse with white cuffs, Adelfa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036560 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 04:31:20 +0000 Adelfa 1036560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So grateful for the honest feedback! Thank you, Joy, shevia, Suz, and K (I think I know your name but am scared to get it wrong)! It's sort of a newish feeling for me not to settle for a bad fit. Not to have to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036559 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 04:25:09 +0000 Anonymous 1036559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the others that neither of the blouses you tried fit very well. The petite is worth a try. It's a great piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036514 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 03:00:27 +0000 Jaime 1036514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that it is too big and then too small here. Hope a petite size works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036490 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 02:21:37 +0000 Suz 1036490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jody, it's worth a try, because you just never know. I am often between petites and regular and in those situations I have to try on a case by case basis, even when we are talking about items made by the same manufacturer. It truly varies by cut. So it's worth checking out if the shirt is available. In petites you might need to size up from your regulars...or then again, you might not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036451 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:40:07 +0000 Adelfa 1036451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, several have suggested a petite especially since the sleeves are way too long, but this has never worked for me, I think because I am long waisted. I could try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036448 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:36:02 +0000 Kristin L 1036448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say it, but I think the size up is a bit too big and the size down is a bit too small. I hate it when that happens!&nbsp;</p> <p>This may not work, be could you try on the size up (the size in pics 1 and 2) in a petite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-is-this-size-better#post-1036444 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:29:02 +0000 Adelfa 1036444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the Ann Taylor Lane Striped Shirt.&nbsp;I ordered up a size (pics 1, 2)&nbsp;to address gapping in the smaller size&nbsp;(3, 4--gapping visible in 4). My concerns are that altering won't help the slightly wide shoulders, or reduce the distance between the top of the side seams (because of the sleeves).</p> <p>What do you think? I really like the shirt and think it would be a useful addition to my work shirt wardrobe, but I don't love it beyond all reason, and am willing to return both sizes if necessary.</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts! </p>
