If you figure it out, let me know! :(</p> <p>&lt;hijack&gt;</p> <p>But yesterday I was at the consignment store and snagged a fab, fab, fab Nanette Lepore pantsuit with a size 10 jacket and size 6 pants (her clothes run really small)! Apparently there is some wealthy woman in my town who is also an inverted triangle! LOL</p> <p>&lt;/hijack&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-242663 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:00:12 +0000 catgirl 242663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MK. That is a big size difference! I was looking at a sheath dress, but that is my problem too, and my boobs aren't even that big... I fear ordering jackets online. May have to stick with the skirt, if anything. </p> <p>So who does make clothes for ITs?!?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-242630 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:32:27 +0000 MsMary 242630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to say I just looked at their size chart online and they are definitely made for pears rather than inverted triangles or apples. So yes, I'd say the chart is pretty accurate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-242626 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:23:45 +0000 MsMary 242626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a word of warning: size UP if you are large-busted. Talbots clothes are not made for the well-endowed! I wear size 4 in their bottoms but I have to go up to size 12 to get their button-down shirts to fit me. And their sheath dresses don't work for me at all because to get the bust to fit, the hips are way too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-242624 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:18:19 +0000 catgirl 242624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old post, but is this still true? Greenglove pointed me to Talbots where I see two or three needs (sheath dress, ponte skirt, jackets). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-97664 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:04:51 +0000 Angie 97664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would size down at least one size - possibly even two. For example, if you wear a size 4 at BR you could probably wear a 0 at Talbots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-or-others-talbots-sizing#post-97663 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:00:28 +0000 medusa 97663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw that Talbots has put some of their fall clothes on sale - I'm thinking about doing some ordering. I know in Angie's blog post she said their clothes tend to run large.</p> <p>Angie or others - do you know if Talbots' size charts on their web site are accurate? </p>
