I also tried on the XXS and it was a perfect fit in the shoulders, but seemed TOO tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848651 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:32:40 +0000 Muffin 1848651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be a total lemming on this. May I ask then if you went with your normal size or sized down in the end? Does this make sense? I am usually a small or xs in JCrew but thinking I will go with xs based on reviews and the fact that it is oversized to begin with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848570 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 01:44:45 +0000 Anonymous 1848570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your votes, ladies!</p> <p>Dottie --Here's the link:<br /> <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/ca/p/womens_category/shirtsandtops/casualshirts/boyfriend-buttonup-shirt/G9680" rel="nofollow">https://www.jcrew.com/ca/p/wom.....hirt/G9680</a></p> <p>I don't have access to a computer right now so can't do a "Find".</p> <p>Style Fan and Sal -- Doesn't Meghan Markel look great!?

Playing around with the buttons seemed to really help for me. I know, we have different torsos though!</p> <p>I put the shirt through a weekend tour and a work tour, and I think it'll be a workhorse. When I unbutton down to the middle torso, the fit issues seem to work themselves out.</p> <p>My main concern was that I wanted something kind of puffy through the arms and torso and I think the smaller size DOES give me that. </p> <p>Really happy with it and I am thinking about getting another next year in white or pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848538 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 22:55:49 +0000 Sal 1848538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this type of look Smittie (as did Meghan Markle at the Invictus games).</p> <p>I love this look and it gets me into trouble because I cannot make it work on me. &nbsp;I don't know exactly why. &nbsp;But I love this casual shirt on you - really nice.</p> <p>I also like the sweater, &nbsp;Will it layer - do you need to layer? &nbsp;I would like this for evenings at home or at friends houses by the fire, drinking red wine and playing cards (not that I do this enough). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848537 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 22:48:03 +0000 Style Fan 1848537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen this look on others.&nbsp; It is showing up everywhere.&nbsp; Meghan M had it on yesterday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848475 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:19:27 +0000 Marilyn 1848475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller shirt as well.&nbsp; Very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848464 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 16:36:43 +0000 texstyle 1848464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the smaller shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt/page/2#post-1848274 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 23:25:18 +0000 Jenn 1848274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you keeping the smaller shirt?

I haven't figured out which of my shirts are the worst offenders for the shoulder seam slippage, but have been noticing it a lot lately. I should do a try on. I'm considering a fashion tape trial if I want to look just so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847862 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 14:23:47 +0000 Angie 1847862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It IS a gorgeous colour - and worth another round of try-ons for sure.

Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847844 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 14:02:37 +0000 Angie 1847844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No,<b> Smittie</b>. No need for the shoulder seams to line up. It's an oversized look - which I get! Still. You are slight, and the volume on your torso is too much. Of your pics, VB wears it best - and that shirt is smaller than yours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847838 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 13:42:50 +0000 Anonymous 1847838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: are you suggesting a size down to get the shoulder seams to line up in my actual shoulders?</p> <p>Karen--yes, the shoulder seam pulls to the back. Less dramatically in the bigger size, though. I think it's because my shoulders are set forward. All my knits pull to the back too. There are a few things I do: 1. wear heavy structured toppers like Jean jackets, where the weight of the item causes the garment to stay put. 2. Sleeveless garments work. 3. mandarin collars, where the shirt still pulls to the back, it's just it's not the first thing you notice because the collar is flat. 4. Knitwear (again, everything still pulls to the back but it is less noticeable). 5. High quality blazers with a lot of padding/interfacing that allow my shoulders to rest in a forward position without causing the blazer to wrinkle on top.</p> <p>Isabelle--I think I'm ok with black near my face. I prefer blue though. Anyway, I don't think I'll get the sweater because the sleeves would be a pain.</p> <p>Below is the look I was going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847814 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 09:33:35 +0000 Jenni NZ 1847814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That black sweater is so big and floppy it would drive me nuts. I like your jeans the best! Not mad on the blue shirt either, too big.

(I ask because I find it depressing myself, in winter)<br /> Is the sweater made of wool? (You would need the warmth of real wool in your climate)</p> <p>Re the blue shirt : if I understand correctly, you sized up because you wanted more fluidity? In that case, you need to find a fluid shirt or blouse, because an oversized tailored shirt is too stiff to work (oh yes, I've tried I love oversized tops, but it doesn't work with tailored items, only with knits in my experience). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847769 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 02:51:51 +0000 Brooklyn 1847769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a chicken and waited for Angie to respond. But I also think the shirt is too big. I do like the style on you, but would prefer smaller. The black sweater is a really fantastic style, I vote yes if you can live with the sleeve issue. I like the cropped jumper as well. I think the cropped styles are useful with high rise bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jcrew-shirt#post-1847758 Sun, 24 Sep 2017 02:24:44 +0000 Jaime 1847758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first impression was the same as Angie's - size down! </p>
