Having met you, I can say that this is more than oversized on you, and you should hold out for better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775957 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 04:05:27 +0000 Anonymous 775957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy shirts, boy FRIEND shirts.....the one you posted just looks like a plain old man's shirt. *Madewell* could do better on that one, IMO. Fingers crossed that you find the perfect one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775776 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:59:26 +0000 Mochi 775776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for confirming my feeling. I also spoke with customer rep and asked them to send me the current size and one size down in the wait listed item, which she said is a "boy shirt" or something like that, so fitted more snugly than what I posted here, which she said was a boyFRIEND shirt cut more boxy and roomy. We shall see. I really would like to own one beautiful chambray shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775761 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:45:37 +0000 Kiwichik 775761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that shirt swamps you definitely move on, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775571 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:22:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 775571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are WAY too gorgeous for this shirt Mochi - move on to something more fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775561 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 21:10:48 +0000 cinnamon fern 775561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I tried about a million denim shirts, including this one and a couple from J Crew. They all fit more or less the way this one did - I'm a 32D, and Madewell/J Crew seem cut for someone flatter-chested than me. I ended up with this one, which I love:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34609&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=245209002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=245209002</a></p> <p>FWIW, I got a small in this but the Madewell small would've popped a button if I took a deep breath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775528 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:50:02 +0000 Raisin 775528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes too big and boxy and just not suiting your body. If they have a size down I'd like to see that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775508 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:28:29 +0000 Mochi 775508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. Claudia, I really like the shirt you linked to. I have another from Madewell that's a darker wash--it must be coming in a separate delivery. But I agree that first of all this one!s too large, and too shapeless. But also, I fear that the proportions are all off too, and that if I don't find one in a petite, it's just not going to work. Hence I start feeling frustrated. Anyway back this one goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775480 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:57:58 +0000 biscuitsmom 775480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im not loving this either, really. It's too big and plain for lovely you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775398 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:06:45 +0000 Jules 775398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, aside from size, this not fab enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775395 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:04:43 +0000 Sona 775395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>too big on shrinking Mochi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775383 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:51:51 +0000 Janet 775383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Claudia. I am not a fan of how big it is, but also it seems just a bit too washed out in color for you. You deserve better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775378 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:43:25 +0000 A.Kiernan 775378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too big. </p> <p>If it's fit for a larger bust, take to the tailor and have it taken in in the waist with darts in the front and/or back. </p> <p>The sleeves are too long as well, at least to my eye. But it depends on how you're going to wear it. If you're going to wear it with the cuffs buttoned, then you need to have the tailor shorten the sleeves to your arm length. </p> <p>Otherwise, roll those sleeves up, lovey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775376 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:40:00 +0000 Anonymous 775376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks too big, Mochi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775371 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:36:28 +0000 Claudia 775371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you about the bust fit. </p> <p>You could have the sides taken in by a tailor, and scrunching up the sleeves would help, but I am not loving this. I think it is a bit too sloppy and masculine looking on you because of the pockets size and placement, very faded denim, and general all around oversize-ness.</p> <p>I think you can do a lot better. I think that I'd like to see you in something a bit darker chambray/denim, higher placed and smaller -- or no pockets, with a crisper look, more fitted to skim your waist and hips.</p> <p>How about something like this in a petite? <a href="http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?item=NM063D&#038;BID=287609172&#038;h=P&#038;pfid=0&#038;sk=M" rel="nofollow">http://www.jjill.com/jjillonli.....&#038;sk=M</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775369 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:32:28 +0000 Suz 775369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What sort of a shirt is it meant to be? Is it supposed to be loose and boxy or not? What is the shoulder fit like? From the pic that looks too big to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-shirt-too-big#post-775350 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:03:13 +0000 Mochi 775350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Package just arrived from Madewell. I ordered their largest size. First, I can scrunch the sleeves so I don't care about that, but I'd wear the shirt untucked at least a lot of the time. Also are the pockets (size, placement) really wrong for busty me? </p> <p>I'm afraid that it fits well in the bust and wouldn't if I go down in size. </p> <p>It's so much more complicated than just getting out of plus sizes. Sigh. </p>
