But honestly, it is not you. </p> <p>You know me, right...I take a 4 P in jackets at Ann Taylor or a 2 or 4 P or 2 regular in tops elsewhere or an XS...a 0 or 2 or 0 or 2 petite in most bottoms.....but at H&amp;M, my new moto jacket is an 8 and another jacket I have from there is a 6. They are sized more like European clothes, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735457 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:44:00 +0000 Keix 735457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also chiming in about H&amp;M's sizing. My waist runs thicker than "average" for my proportions, but I can wear a size 4 skirt at Anthro and a size 0 pencil skirt at J.Crew. At H&amp;M, I'm at least a 6 and oftentimes I need to size up to an 8. (Aside from high-waisted pieces, I am uniformly a size 0 or 2.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735119 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 10:01:09 +0000 fashionista 735119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am size 6, pass on that to me Una......... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735070 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 05:49:01 +0000 Ariadne 735070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered a few days ago that the Divided line fits me 3-4 sizes smaller than the regular H&amp;M line. I fit a 10 in the regular line, and every size 12 jacket I tried from the Divided line was too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735052 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 03:54:53 +0000 Clarissa 735052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>H &amp; M goes by Swedish sizes I've heard since it is a Swedish brand. I am usually a 0 and get a 4 there most times. Don't worry its not just you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735033 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:35:37 +0000 CocoLion 735033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear an H&amp;M 8 in jackets (also for Divided) so I'm sure it will fit Rae or Marley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735030 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:26:21 +0000 Marley 735030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a S or an XS in almost everything - except H&amp;M. I have a skirt in M from there that is *tight* around the waist - and the jackets? I never know what size I wear - I just have to try them all on. So frustrating! If that size 8 doesn't work for Rae, I'd like to give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-735021 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:04:21 +0000 Sylvie 735021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went by the SF H&amp;M today and they were out of stock in anything larger than a 4 or a 6. Sorry Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-734042 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:01:15 +0000 Jyoti 734042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I almost without exception wear the smallest size in a store, be it an XS, XXS, whatever. My most recent purchase from H&amp;M is a pair of bright pink size 8 pants that I can't really bend my legs in. (But they're so pink!)</p> <p>I don't think its you. xD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733996 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:18:50 +0000 catgirl 733996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, like "Divide by half to get your true size"? EEK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733994 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:17:16 +0000 annagybe 733994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember it's from their Divided line which runs even smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733974 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 21:46:21 +0000 catgirl 733974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone can find it, that would be great - but I don't want to inconvenience anyone. </p> <p>Anna, yep, I can't believe how tiny it is - like a small at F21! Or else I really have body dysmorphia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733774 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:16:05 +0000 rachylou 733774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually wear 4-6, and have gone to a 12 at H&amp;M - depending on the item.</p> <p>Sizing is completely nutty these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733737 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:42:42 +0000 annagybe 733737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really?!?! I'm so sorry. It looks like others are checking for you. Do you want me to see if the 12 is still available? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733518 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:31:11 +0000 Mochi 733518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will keep my eyes on the result. Because if rae or someone else can't find the size, I can duck into the store on Newbury Street and see if they have it for our meetup. Your back is covered, Una! (figuratively) And please, I know you're joking (right?) but no giving up climbing for a jacket, yo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733501 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:50:46 +0000 April 733501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Una -- I meant to chime in on this issue when I first saw that moto thread. In my experience, you have to go up *multiple* sizes at H&amp;M. At AT, a 0 petite jacket fits me perfectly. At H&amp;M, a 4 is often overly snug.</p> <p>I hope you can still get one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733410 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:31:59 +0000 catgirl 733410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm sending it down in my mystery shipment! And if it doesn't suit you, someone else can try it, or it can go back to H &amp; M since Anna isent the receipt. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it - enough to consider not climbing to shrink my arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733406 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:26:20 +0000 rae 733406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I responded to your PM as well, but I would be stoked to try this! </p> <p>And H&amp;M sizes are really strange and inconsistent, IMO. A size M dress was huge on me, I have a size 6 pant when I wear a 2 at AT and BR, and I can never get their jacket sizes correct on first try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733405 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:25:59 +0000 catgirl 733405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, THANK YOU! I can't believe how crazy sizing is. At least I still wear the same bra size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733401 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:22:22 +0000 Sylvie 733401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I walk by the H&amp;M this weekend, I will snag both sizes and bring them to southern CA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733398 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:18:10 +0000 lyn* 733398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa. H&amp;M has a emerald moto? </p> <p>I guess I know where I'm going tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-h-m-emerald-moto-jacket-from-anna#post-733391 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:09:37 +0000 catgirl 733391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The beautiful faux suede emerald jacket from Anna arrived SO quickly. And guess what - it's TOO SMALL! Possibly by 2 sizes. The arms and shoulders are just way too tight for my linebacker bod! And the rest is a bit small as well. I almost cried when I tried it on. This is a size 8.</p> <p>I'm really starting to wonder if I'm demented. I keep feeling like sizing runs small but maybe it's that sizes are normal and I'm running bigger than I think. Geesh!</p> <p>Anyway, I have a couple of options. I could bring it down to the CA meeting and see if anyone wants to take it for $20 (Rae?). Or I can put it up for grabs here on the style exchange. It's gorgeous and totally fulfills the hole in my heart from the DVF emerald jacket of a couple of years ago. </p> <p>In fact, if anyone near an H &amp; M can snag it in a 12 (I think a 10 might even be too small), I'd be overjoyed. Anna, thanks so much for the effort! </p>
