I can't assess the fit on you but I hope this or one of the other sizes is a winner.</p> <p>I have two identical Everlane sleeveless silk shirts, about the same weight as the square silk shirt. I wash one and keep the other dry clean only. The one I wash is noticeably smaller now, I'd say a full size. </p> <p>Edited to add - for me, the square silk shirt is constrained by my upper arm size. I had to size up for it to lie properly on my arms -- which is odd for something that looks so roomy in the sleeves and shoulders. I don't know if that'll be an issue for you but it was a little frustrating.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800955 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 23:05:33 +0000 jill58 1800955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think just one size down since the size you have on looks pretty good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800947 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 22:22:22 +0000 JAileen 1800947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you thinking if the larger one shrinks it will end up being the right size? What if it doesn't shrink? Would you be okay with it? I think talking to them is a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800946 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 22:15:32 +0000 Staysfit 1800946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck!

I vote size down on it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800921 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 21:07:12 +0000 jill58 1800921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, I was just looking at this dress in navy. I love the green on you. I am concerned about the dry cleaning though. Was unsure of the sizing--perhaps I'll go with the smaller of the two sizes I was considering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800916 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:48:07 +0000 Angie 1800916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size down. Has great potential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800914 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:47:09 +0000 LaPed 1800914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help on sizing with these oversized un-tailored dresses, but I will chime in to say I find Everlane's return policy REALLY annoying on this front. I'm almost always between sizes, and I think it's ridiculous that I have to incur a shipping penalty if I order both sizes and return one, but not if I'm willing to order one size at a time. I'm pretty sure they'd save money on shipping &nbsp;by sending me both at the same time... and I can guarantee you I'd buy more from them, especially since so many of the products are eternally waitlisted/backordered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800900 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:23:30 +0000 Suz 1800900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Can you call Everlane and talk to them? I always wash silk by hand or in machine and then air dry and iron. I think I may have had a tiny bit of shrinkage in a shirt I got from Ann Taylor a few years back. But no shrinkage in my other silks. So...</p> <p>It looks as if this would still have room in any case, but it's awful to have to take the chance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800896 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:21:06 +0000 Traci 1800896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I was looking for the return policy, I noticed that the cotton square shirtdress I have from Everlane is actually a size down from this one.</p> <p>I'll have to return for store credit and rebuy, so it's not exactly easy to compare the two. &nbsp;There's LOTS of room in the body though. &nbsp;I think the size down will still be roomy.</p> <p>The only other thing is, and this is a risky proposition, I recently read that silk is only dry clean only because most silk isn't preshrunk before the garment is made, so if you hand or machine wash you will have shrinkage. &nbsp;I hand washed my Everlane silk square shirt and I do think it shrank a bit, 10% maybe?, but it is still fine because it was quite over sized before (it's the size I'm showing in this dress.) &nbsp;Too risky? </p> <p>Before I return it, I'm going to try turning back the sleeves one turn to see if they'll stay there. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800893 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:12:45 +0000 Mirjana 1800893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others, try size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800886 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 19:58:24 +0000 Suz 1800886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is totally you.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you are able to try the size down for comparison, that would make sense. I like the oversized fit in the body but it feels as if the sleeve length is a bit off at this size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800879 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 19:33:57 +0000 The Cat 1800879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour! If I were you, I would size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ke-everlane-square-silk-dress#post-1800866 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 19:04:26 +0000 Traci 1800866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had been salivating over this dress since the day it came out. A combined moment of weakness and a husband's blessing to spend before our budget goes into effect, made me pull the trigger.</p> <p>I love the color and shape. I do wonder if I should size down, as it is very generous.</p> <p>It's not really styled here, just thrown over the jeans I was wearing today, although over jeans is one of the ways I'd invisioned wearing this dress.</p> <p>Keep? Or Exchange?</p> <p>I can post pantsless pics this evening if that is necessary for a full review. </p>
