I have ordered it! But it is still in transit, so I haven't seen it yet. When it's here, I'll post a photo for you. I ordered a size 4, and I'm confident that this will be the right size for me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-902267 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:04:58 +0000 modgrl 902267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Did you end up getting this shirt? I am so curious about it! I have a white blouse to wear under my tuxedo jacket but this one is so tempting!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891832 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:15:22 +0000 Ingunn 891832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, all, you have been most helpful! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891798 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:15:14 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 891798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm modeling the size 4 black and white gingham tuxedo shirt in my K/R thread, if that helps.&nbsp; You can see the total waist surrendering (I'm very much an hourglass).<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891777 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:37:19 +0000 texstyle 891777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can't wait to see it on you Ingunn! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891771 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:30:13 +0000 Ingunn 891771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Angie, and even more so with the additional questions from Tex! I like the idea of a more statement-ish white shirt, because I only have ONE basic white button down, and that is just not enough. You mention that it is roomy, and I appreciate your concern I think a semi-tuck or a tuck will give the waist definition I'm after, and even a loose fit is fine with narrow trousers and skirts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891696 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:22:27 +0000 Angie 891696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There you go, Tex! Now you're thinking 2013 fashion and style. Well done :)<br /><br />Btw, I used to live in very hot tropical climates (Hong Kong and Cape Town)&nbsp;and have found covering up with loose cotton/silk/linen sleeved&nbsp;shirts a great formula. My Mum taught me to do that and she was spot on.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891690 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:18:34 +0000 texstyle 891690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks! I've learned that if a blouse is super soft I seem to be able to wear it even in the heat without feeling too confined. I have a super soft black tuxedo shirt I got years ago from the Gap and never wore it until just recently (thanks again to YLF). For some dumb reason I thought it was too "dressy" to wear with jeans (naming&nbsp;conventions again, me thinking "tuxedo shirt" must be for dressier occasions)&nbsp;- anyway, turns out it looks and feels great with jeans. One of my happier outfits lately. And I didn't get a photo - but I'll wear again soon. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891675 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:03:04 +0000 Angie 891675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OF COURSE I don't mind sharing :)<br /><br />It's really sofy AND crisp. Like Egyptian cotton bed&nbsp;sheets. Creases easily and feels a little "wet" because the thread count is so high. It's not a starched shirt crisp like the non-iron variety.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891663 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:48:28 +0000 texstyle 891663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, I wonder if you'd mind sharing - &nbsp;is this shirt really soft or is it more "crisp"? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891634 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:21:18 +0000 Angie 891634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It runs TTS, Ingunn. <b>I LOVE THIS SHIRT!</b> I am buying another white one soon. (I'm still sobbing that the light blue is sold out in my size).&nbsp;<br /><br />I do worry about one thing for you, though. The fit around the torso is very roomy and waist surrendering. It is gorgeously tailored on the shoulder, bust and hip. But the rest of the fit&nbsp;is boyish. I know you prefer waist-defining styles.&nbsp;<br /><br />Not that I don't think you'd look great in this shirt! Just giving you a heads up https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-sizing-of-the-jcrew-tuxedo-shirt#post-891524 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:31:15 +0000 Ingunn 891524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Angie,&nbsp;<br />I'm thinking of ordering the tuxedo shirt you recommended, but I'm not familiar with J.Crew sizing. What do you think would be best for me? I'm a 4 or 6P in most BR pieces (I have a few). If I go by the size chart I should choose 6 in J.Crew.&nbsp;
