Love the color of the blouse on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365744 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 23:57:57 +0000 Staysfit 1365744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like there are good opinions on the size. &nbsp;I wanted to say that I really like that color pink on you! &nbsp;It looks very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365735 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 23:53:04 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1365735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. I am leaning toward the smaller on the blouse and the bigger on the sweater, that is if I keep. I really liked them yesterday but today I'm having doubts. </p> <p>Unfrumped, I agree, and the fabric hand makes such a difference too with looser items. It's hard enough to decide when you're able to try something on, but online it's pretty much a crapshoot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365624 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:39:01 +0000 unfrumped 1365624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sweater for sure, size up. I am amazed at how intolerant my "eye" is now for too-ftted knitwear.<br />The woven, I'm not sure. I can't tell from the pics. If pulls over the bust at all, that would bother me. but if&nbsp; not, it looks like it could have an adequately fluid fit, just not oversized. Wovens require more precise fit, I think, meaning not tight, but have to fit correctly in&nbsp; more ways.</p> <p>You've also identified a key issue--an item has to fit "right" even&nbsp;to look good fluid or over-&nbsp;sized, and that varies with the cut of the item. Some will not be right whether smaller or larger. That's what bugs me about online shopping now--I just can't tell from the photos whether "my size" is already factored into the roominess, or whether to size up, or if it's cut super-oversized, size down, or whether the whole cut of the garment will not work. In a real store I can go through the sizes quickly and usually tell, though sometimes have spent a loooong time in the dressing room..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365541 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:47:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1365541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I should have mentioned that the top is 100% poly so shouldn't shrink. The sweater is a blend so might. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365526 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:38:15 +0000 Suz 1365526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. The pink top doesn't <b>look</b> too snug in the hips in the smaller size. Lovely colour for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I would go with the larger of the sweaters for a more intentional look. I had that sweater in my finds, too, but probably won't buy it in the end. I didn't actually try it -- it would have to be ordered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365511 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:31:24 +0000 Sal 1365511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it is close....</p> <p>I would tend to choose the larger sweater as I think knitwear can shrink in length... </p> <p>I am not sure with the top, the smaller size looks fine to me on the pics. I think it is a wonderful colour on you and a great shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fluid-fit-takes-2-3#post-1365506 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:21:55 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1365506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I needed to return some stuff to Nordstrom and ended up coming home with twice as much (whoops!). I was flummoxed in the fitting room about which size of these two tops to choose, if any, so I brought home both sizes of both so I could take pictures and throw myself on the mercy of YLF. In both cases, the smaller size is first.</p> <p>1-3 show size L of the Halogen sleeveless top; 4-6 are XL. The L is what I'd normally choose through the upper chest; the fit through the hips/butt is snug but not pulling. The XL is looser and too big through the underarms, but that could be altered. Option 3 is of course that this shape doesn't flatter me anyway - is it too much of a tent over the boobs?</p> <p>7-10 are size L of the sweater; 11-14 are the XL. As you might be able to see from the Finds picture, this sweater is supposed to be oversized and boxy in the torso. I almost think that the bigger size is better because it exaggerates that and makes it look more intentional...?</p> <p>I'd love to know what you think. Sorry that the pics are not the best, the backlighting from the window makes everything else look dark no matter what settings I use. </p>
