If you are in hot weather, then a looser fit is more comfortable in the heat (most of my summer tops are roomy for this reason).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1784138 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 20:47:14 +0000 JAileen 1784138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that your top is very pretty. I hope washing it shrinks it just enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1784135 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 19:52:26 +0000 Style Fan 1784135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty colour and lace.&nbsp; Alterations will probably help with the size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1784044 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 12:44:16 +0000 harmonica 1784044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input! </p> <p>l looked at the model again and retried the top and I'm sure that the insert of the arm should be an inch or so further in on the shoulder. (sorry for my poor explanation!)</p> <p>l decided to wash it and see if it shrinks. Alteration of sleeve length and torso is easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783974 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 01:55:00 +0000 Anonymous 1783974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wouldn't be so expensive to have it tapered a little at the waist and maybe have the sleeves shortened a little and seems like not so much trouble if you love it otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783970 Sat, 04 Mar 2017 01:08:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1783970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's the shoulder -- it might have been better with some darts at the bust. I love the color and the lace, though. </p> <p>Boden has got a lot of nice spring pieces -- I have a few on my considering list.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783930 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 23:06:57 +0000 columbine(erin) 1783930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I have had a Boden top shrink before. This one might. I like the color very much. If it was in my budget I'd be trying this top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783920 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 22:42:37 +0000 harmonica 1783920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right, Joy. It's made of 100% cotton and can be machine washed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783911 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 21:52:29 +0000 Anonymous 1783911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very close so that sizing down may be too small. Is the top washable? If so, it may shrink just a bit. I love the lace and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783881 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 20:09:58 +0000 harmonica 1783881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're on to something, Janet. If it was one «lace line» shorter at the bottom and sleeve, it might look less «heavy» and less roomy.</p> <p>I wonder if it could pass the JFE test? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783876 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 19:59:15 +0000 Janet 1783876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, it does look a little too roomy somehow. I think it's a combination of a little extra room in the upper chest, the length, and the roomy sleeve. I could be off base though. Pretty color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-poppy-lace-top-too-large#post-1783874 Fri, 03 Mar 2017 19:57:22 +0000 harmonica 1783874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This cute Boden top arrived today. I love the colour, lace and fabric. Well made and fun.</p> <p>Cons: does it look too large in the shoulder area, where the sleeve is incerted? Should the insert be an inch or so further up on the shoulder?</p> <p>My size is usually a M or sometimes S. In UK sizing that should be around 12, which is the size I ordered. Returning orders is costy and a hazzle because I'm not sure a size down will fit.</p> <p>Not sure I explained it well, but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say. </p>
