This is a tough one for me because I thought the small looked better volume-wise and I prefer a snugger sleeve with a loose body,&nbsp;but of course if it's constricting it had to go back.&nbsp;</p> <p>As mentioned, the M does drape pretty well around the body.</p> <p>Since I know you have a small closet and are&nbsp;trying to not settle when it comes to purchases -- especially those with higher price tags --&nbsp;guess you try what I do. Ask, "Am I way more happy with the way I look and feel in this than dissatisfied with XYZ?"&nbsp;</p> <p>Moving on:&nbsp;The coral is so cool with the show-through effect. Gotta embrace the boxy with these styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1322231 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:57:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1322231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the drape of the medium EF tunic. It hangs beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1322223 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:50:35 +0000 E 1322223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you're keeping the coat! Life's too short to have fabric bunched under your armpits, so down with the size small. I think the medium looks really nice on you, not sloppy or oversized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1321333 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 02:23:36 +0000 Peri 1321333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb, that is interesting to know. Nordstrom's "true size" told me S and that is often accurate, but now reading the reviews someone else said that too. I'm leaning towards keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320975 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:08:31 +0000 deb 1320975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to size up on that tunic. I got the same one last year but got the smaller size. I just laid last years M on top of this years L and they are exactly the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320970 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:01:56 +0000 Peri 1320970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Rachylou, a little. Not hugely, but the bunching up under the arms feels weird and then I wiggle and adjust to smooth it out. I think over time I would be bothered by fussing over this detail for something that should feel easy and not demanding of attention. This would be something I would want to put on and feel fab, and then forget about it and go on with my day. Not feel fussy about.</p> <p>So...the S is packed up and ready to return. <b>Deciding now on a K/R of the M. </b>Taking any opinions. I like it a lot, just want to be sure it doesn't look too big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320953 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:47:39 +0000 rachylou 1320953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both tunics look really flattering to me in the pics. Is the first uncomfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320940 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:38:57 +0000 Peri 1320940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, here is the post I made about the coat. The picture is really bad though! I look bad, it's blurry, and I don't have the light right to see the coat color and details. It really does look the color shown on the model.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have put it on and off many times. I now think the arm holes are fine and I've just forgotten winter and coats. Hoping that's right...but wondering what the time frame for returns are! I just don't want to send it back yet.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-the-purple-halogen-coat">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....logen-coat</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320922 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:14:24 +0000 catgirl 1320922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have similar issues with EF fit in the shoulders. This hangs well in the M because of the soft fabric - if it were a heavier sweater it would probably not look as good.&nbsp; Love the color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320917 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:09:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1320917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, I prefer the M.&nbsp; It has more of the drapy EF feel to it.</p> <p>Can we see the coat on?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/size-help-what-i-want-to-keep-from-nas#post-1320910 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:53:49 +0000 Peri 1320910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems the NAS frenzy is winding down but my items are just trickling in. Still waiting on the Pleione mixed media tunic. Some things went right back but some I need help on!</p> <p>Pics 1-3...EF tunic in S. I would choose this fit except for one thing...it kind of bunches up under my arms. Tried to show that in pic 3, isn't it weird how the front facing&nbsp;camera changed the color?! It does feel fitted under the arms but I'm not sure if it's that or my ITness or the girls making it bunch up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pics 4-6...EF tunic in M. Doesn't do the bunching so I would choose this one for comfort, but does it look too big?</p> <p>I didn't style either because I wanted to show the fit clearly. I put on the pendant for the M just to be able to tell the pictures apart. IRL I have any number of necklaces and scarves that I'd put with this, and mostly wear with black trousers <b>since Angie says it is cool to mix ink blue and black!</b></p> <p><b>But...you can tell me not to keep either if you see fit problems!!</b></p> <p><b><br /> </b></p> <p><b></b>Pic 7 I'm keeping for sure. I've wanted one of these since <b>Mo</b> and <b>Diana&nbsp;</b>showed something similar with the VC striped tube skirt. This hits on all points: open knit sheer stripes, happy color, and $25 is a cheap way to try this trendy open knit. I hope the boxiness doesn't look too IT on me.</p> <p>And...<b>I'm keeping the coat!</b> </p>
