On your shape the line of drape is much better and shoulder line is stronger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1501014 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 02:41:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1501014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous, Peri! I think the size looks good, but in the store I'd try both sizes just to be sure. So it doesn't hurt to order the XS--if you can wait to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1501007 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 02:29:04 +0000 Janet 1501007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks gorgeous on you. You could probably wear the smaller size, but this doesn't look too big. </p> <p>Suz -- Considering that I can wear a S in EF tops, yeah, you could probably easily wear a XS. But I'm one of those women who this cut does not flatter -- my shoulders are not small but neither are my hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1501004 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 02:17:06 +0000 SandyG 1501004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top and color on you, you must keep it!! My favorite color too.</p> <p>Currently I'm ordering 2-3 sizes in Eileen Fisher, partly because petite sizing is a crapshoot and never in the B&amp;M stores, but also because I've found the regular XS runs quite small in the bust in some spring tops.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500985 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 01:57:11 +0000 Peri 1500985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Daria, I think EF mostly runs loose, but meant to fit that way. My EF things are S and I am usually between S and M in other brands.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mary, no I have several...all S. I have a white tank on its way to me that was only left in M, so I may be posting about that soon.</p> <p>Laurel and Windchime, funny about my phone! It's true, and my purse and wallet are also this color. Yes, my favorite!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! I may check on XS, but I bet I stay with this size. Thanks for the help!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500973 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 01:42:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1500973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonder it's your favorite color ... It's perfect on you. I think this size looks good but knowing Eileen Fisher the XS would probably fit and look good as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500969 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 01:38:38 +0000 Anonymous 1500969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I am 5'3" and do best most of the time in EF with an XS. I think a PP would be smaller than you want, but a small P could work.<br /> Peri, I love the color and fit on you. I think that it is supposed to fit like this. It does not give you a wide hip line, especially as the hem is not straight across.

I'm a bit shorter than you and short waisted but regular torso overall (due to longer rise). Hmm. It's a tough call. Maybe xs would be a better bet than petite. Or maybe Petite small.&nbsp;</p> <p>Technically for sure those measurements make you an IT. Just a really slender one without a larger frame, I guess. Believe it or not, my shoulders are 39 and my hips are 35 (or at the moment, closer to 36). But I'm still classed as hourglass/ rectangle with a strong shoulder line. ETA by Angie, that is. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500946 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 01:19:35 +0000 Windchime 1500946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks better on you than on the model! Like Laurel, I also noticed your phone is the same color, which is stunning on you. Now you've got me thinking about ordering the same top, maybe in purple... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500934 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:53:40 +0000 Peri 1500934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I do really love that color.</p> <p>I'm tempted to order XS just to know for sure, as <b>Elizabeth</b> suggests. I do think I tend to take advantage of that free shipping...they may rescind my privileges at some point!</p> <p><b>Suz</b>...I measured for you and it is 32 inches from shoulder to the longest point, 25 inches from shoulder to the shortest. I am 5'5", but kind of long torso, definitely long arms. Petite rarely works for me. As far as IT...I do think so! My shoulders are 41.5 inches around...my hips are 37! Doesn't that sound IT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500931 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:49:58 +0000 Laurel 1500931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A) It looks magnificent!<br />B) You described it as "my favorite color in the whole world!", which is a powerful indicator that it would bring you joy, and&nbsp;<br />C) I think you are serious about loving the color, LOOK AT YOUR PHONE!</p> <p>Therefore,&nbsp;</p> <p>D) KEEP!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500929 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:48:02 +0000 Sal 1500929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect!!<br />The colour is wonderful and I think having it slightly oversized is exactly right!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500924 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:42:59 +0000 Glory 1500924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it so much on you Peri - the cut, the colour. So much I am considering hunting it down for myself and splurging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500919 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:29:48 +0000 Anonymous 1500919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine that it wouldn't suit all figure types and sensitivities but I think it looks great on you. The color is beautiful and suits you so well! Even though the hem is wide and the angle makes it eye catching it hits you where you actually look relatively narrow. I don't think it's the wrong size either, looks just right to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500918 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 00:23:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1500918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG.&nbsp; The colour took my breath away.&nbsp; And guess what?&nbsp; One has made the first leg of the journey to me. :)</p> <p>I think the fit looks great, from what you have posted.... I bet you'd also be able to wear a size down as well, but I don't think you need to.&nbsp; If I had free shipping free returns I think I'd try it, just for peace of mind.</p> <p>Oh, now I'm even more excited!&nbsp; I have the blue coming as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500912 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 23:39:29 +0000 Anonymous 1500912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful, Peri! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500905 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 23:14:55 +0000 Momo 1500905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is absolutely fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500903 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 23:08:17 +0000 Suz 1500903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. That is gorgeous on you!!! Fabulous. You have convinced me to put it in my Finds. Do you think a Petite P would be right for me? The TrueFit is saying XS regular, but I have my doubts. Maybe P small.&nbsp;</p> <p>Peri, are you sure you are an IT? Your shoulders look wide and square but not broad, if you know what I mean. Not that it matters in this situation.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500901 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 23:06:04 +0000 carter 1500901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the color! Gorgeous. I think it was Sterling who tried it. I see nothing hip- widening about it. You could probably go to an XS, but consider where it would hit you. I think your hips are enviably slim, so you may have no worries either way. Jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500900 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 23:05:34 +0000 retailgirl 1500900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it.

It sure is your color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexef-linen-top#post-1500893 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 22:53:01 +0000 Peri 1500893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lost the thread, but someone recently asked about this top. Mine was already on order so I was waiting. It came today and I mostly really like it. But...I see what that poster meant about giving a wide hip line. It has a slight A-line shape and might accent that area. I'm an IT-Apple so that isn't the worst place to accent for me.</p> <p>Pros: </p> <ul> <li>As Angie said, wow the color!! Online it looks like a regular hot pink, and that would be great anyway, but IRL it has more purple. It just happens to fall in that pink/purple "radiant orchid" that is my favorite color in the whole world!</li> <li>Medium weight linen knit, decent for summer.</li> <li>My favorite hemline style, asymmetrical.</li> </ul> <p>So...does it look too wide? Or too big? Or JFE? This is a S, so I could exchange for an XS if it looks too big....but wow, I sure don't consider myself an XS anything.&nbsp; </p> <p>Opinions please!</p>
