I think so too when I am wearing some tops, but not others -- it depends what I have on underneath.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think I prefer the Lanai to your Zara, but it is awfully hard to tell from the pics.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lanai---exchange-for-a-size-up-or-return#post-1061555 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 02:00:28 +0000 Jaime 1061555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see, I don't think you can size up, the shoulders would be too wide. I do think it is better and different than your other jacket. The size is just hard to judge in these pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lanai---exchange-for-a-size-up-or-return#post-1061551 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:57:57 +0000 Makrame 1061551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem with the arms, and the shoulders fit just right. I just don't like the wrinkles near the armholes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lanai---exchange-for-a-size-up-or-return#post-1061549 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:56:23 +0000 catgirl 1061549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How are the arms?&nbsp; <i></i>My test for jackets is whether I can cross my arms comfortably without pulling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lanai---exchange-for-a-size-up-or-return#post-1061546 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:55:15 +0000 Makrame 1061546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to try the famous Lanai jacket while it is on sale at Nordstrom.</p> <p>Here it is in size 8 (1-2, sorry for the blurry mirror shot but that is the only way to show the fit issue). There is a wrinkling around the bust, and I wonder if this means I need to size up. &nbsp;I am also trying to decide whether the jacket looks better/different than the navy Zara blazer I own (3-4, similar fit issue but I still wear it). &nbsp;I would like to wear this for lectures/presentations etc.; I like the modern vibe of this jacket. &nbsp;What are your thoughts? </p>
