I have no problems filling out the shoulders in the 8 petite (as I had suspected.) It's a gorgeous tunic--I love it so much that I'm contemplating duplicating in the cream. I should probably post pics first--in case I'm delusional in thinking it's flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-192088 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:14:37 +0000 Laura 192088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Volume doesn't bother me! But the shoulder seams on the 6P were falling off my shoulders - which is unusual for a petite size on me. I was able to size down to a 4P and will report back. 2P's were out of stock in the cream.</p> <p>It's a really nice tunic, with heavy silky fabric. I am a bit terrified about the cream color and my knack for staining things, but am up for the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-192084 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:26:42 +0000 April 192084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, let me know -- glad to hang onto one or both and ship to you if you're interested in trying out the look.</p> <p>Otherwise, I'm going to return them both because I tried the smaller one on again last night and I just feel it looks infinitely better on me if I grab a big handful of fabric in the back, simulating a more tailored look. I see that that's not how it's supposed to fit, so I'll be looking for a more streamlined version for myself.</p> <p>Angie, that's helpful input. "Tentlike" does not usually work for me, though I fully support your appreciation of volume. I even share it, I just have to reign in the silhouette somewhat for a 5'2" frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191978 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:10:44 +0000 Maya 191978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look what you did Angie! Now you made me want it too...</p> <p>Ummm, April, if you decide not to keep that tunic, I might be willing to handle your return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191974 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:09:25 +0000 Angie 191974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, that's quite an accurate visual.</p> <p>I wore this dolman sleeve black silk blouse over little denim walk shorts with heels yesterday - and loved it (middle outfit): </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/12/21/informal-party-dressing/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/12/.....-dressing/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191969 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:06:13 +0000 Maya 191969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"like we could fit you, me and Maya in them"</p> <p>I just imagined a big tent of a shirt with our three heads sticking out of the collar while we fight over whose arms get to pass through the sleeves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191964 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:03:54 +0000 Angie 191964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has to fit on the shoulders, but tent-like everywhere else. If it had a collar, I would be all over this blouse too. I have a few silk tunics that are HUGE (like we could fit you, me and Maya in them) and I adore the look. Arty and edgy. </p> <p>But alas, volume does not go down very well on this forum. I get that too though. It's an acquired taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191923 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:27:23 +0000 April 191923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, how roomy are we talking about? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191916 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:22:44 +0000 Maya 191916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had the same experience April. I don't know how I manage to gain weight and be a smaller size at the same time. Both the Trouvé cardigan and the BCBG top I ordered were enormous on me. I commiserate (although I was planning to send the Trouvé cardi back anyway). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191915 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:22:29 +0000 April 191915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good to know, Khris. </p> <p>I'm really disappointed because I was loving the idea of a black silk tunic. I considered having it tailored but it bothers me to buy something knowing it would need that level of alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191903 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:16:28 +0000 Angie 191903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember that it's supposed to be quite roomy. I had the tunic on a client today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191824 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:51:58 +0000 chewyspaghetti 191824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that Kenneth Cole just runs a size large in general. Both KC dresses that I bought this summer, I had to size down on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191819 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:41:35 +0000 April 191819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KG, your regular size might work if you're okay with a great deal of volume -- I can't manage that much because I'm short. For me, if it's tunic-length and also has a lot of width, it looks like I'm drowning in fabric. </p> <p>Let us know if yours works out or if you end up sizing down! Either way, crossing my fingers that you find one that works because it's such nice fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191748 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:36:38 +0000 kellygirl 191748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol--now I'm scared to get mine. I ordered my usual top size and boy, I'm going to feel bad if it fits! Just kidding. My top should be here tomorrow so I'll report back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191704 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:55:59 +0000 Laura 191704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No kidding! I am sizing down too. Did you notice the model on the Nordstrom website ... the seams were off her shoulders ... I am trying to figure out if it's supposed to be a dropped seam slouchy look or if it's just huge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-kenneth-cole-black-silk-tunic-its-huge#post-191701 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:54:14 +0000 April 191701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mean huge as in "a fabulous phenomenon," I mean the sizing runs HUGE. </p> <p>I ordered a 0 regular and a 2 petite (they weren't offering a 0 petite) and they're both very, very voluminous. </p> <p>Too bad, because the fabric is actually delicious: a substantial silk with its satin-y side facing inward. If you're giving this one a whirl, definitely size down. </p>
