This looks like a tailored shirt that is too big. The cut and fabrication need to be different for it to work. And it CAN work beautifully on any body size/ type. &nbsp;Just needs to be the right garment. It's not you -- it's the shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-what-is-fluid-fit-anyway#post-1363719 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 22:22:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1363719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, back it goes. I wasn't in love with it anyway. Thanks all.</p> <p>Mona &amp; AK, I suspect you're right about the shoulders and sleeves. Maybe it's because I have narrow shoulders / am a pear shape, but I have literally never found a shirt that fits in the shoulders and arms but is loose through the midsection, in my entire adult life. I suspect that if I really wanted one I'd have to have one custom made or sew it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-what-is-fluid-fit-anyway#post-1363694 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 21:53:21 +0000 catgirl 1363694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks too big because of the sleeves. I think there is a frustrating difference between a deliberately oversized/fluid item in the right size and sizing up but sometimes it works. I can't tell if this is designed to be oversized but it just looks too big... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-what-is-fluid-fit-anyway#post-1363692 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 21:52:35 +0000 JamC 1363692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-what-is-fluid-fit-anyway#post-1363653 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 21:00:04 +0000 Mona 1363653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are definitely too big on this. I would return. The shoulder and sleeves should be well fitted for these kind of shirts to work.

But I know fits are going a bit looser at the moment. </p> <p>This is a shirt that just came from Twice, originally Caslon. I would normally return it for being too big - but am I being too hasty? Yay = looks good Nay = too big </p>
