I guess I should've trusted my instincts; I was thinking the small was better, but seem to be having serious sizing issues this season.</p> <p>Details on the jeans: They're relaxed straight leg jeans from the GAP, 100% cotton and no stretch (my wash isn't available any more, though), "1969 original fit selvage jeans", link to similar:<br /> <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=311929002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=311929002</a></p> <p>Details on the tank: It's from JCrew Factory and comes in 4 colors, link: <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/knits_tees/tanks_camis/PRDOVR~50549/99102932119/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+216~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~sequin/50549.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://factory.jcrew.com/women...../50549.jsp</a><br /> Also in stripe: <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/knits_tees/tanks_camis/PRDOVR~36502/99102897475/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+216~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~sequin/36502.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://factory.jcrew.com/women...../36502.jsp</a></p> <p>Angie, thanks! I love tanks, and I know I have a good shape for them... unfortunately we have very little hot weather to wear them *sniffle* Like you I have to be very stern with myself and not buy more than I can realistically wear at the start of the season!</p> <p>BJ, I do think a pear would work these jeans! I have a proportionally ample seat heh, and sized up in these to get a really relaxed fit (they're already relaxed to begin with). Info about the jeans up above!</p> <p>Annaj, no worries the smaller size is loose enough to semi-tuck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-873281 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 14:39:05 +0000 annaj 873281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see a lot of difference, but given that you plan to alter it anyway due to the armhole gape, I'm going to go against the flow and get the bigger size. I think it gives you more options given that current fashion tends towards a loose fit. You can do a semi-tuck with a looser fit, that won't work as well with a tight fit.</p> <p>It's a lovely tank, so as long as you buy one...!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-873036 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:38:15 +0000 Jaime 873036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pick the smaller tank and love the outfit with the bfs and black jacket! Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-872704 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:49:54 +0000 bj1111 872704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no difference so go with what is comfy. </p> <p>a most important question...where did you fet those amazing jeans and do you think a pear would do well with them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-872694 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:45:29 +0000 harmonica 872694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say smaller, but the difference is really small, so maybe both - one breezy and one comfortably loose </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-872609 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:25:42 +0000 cinnamon fern 872609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else! Where's the tank from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep/page/2#post-872608 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:24:53 +0000 Tina.b 872608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tank looks amazing on you! I vote small too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872606 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:22:57 +0000 Kalli 872606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sizes do look fab. However if you did take up the shoulder, I'd opt for the larger size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872531 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 14:59:06 +0000 Angie 872531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can barely see the difference on the photos so either way is fine in my book. You look fab in this style of tank! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872530 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 14:59:03 +0000 rae 872530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size is gorgeous! What BF jeans are those? Killer wash! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872522 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 14:54:03 +0000 texstyle 872522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size - and maybe get 2 if you really love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872443 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 13:04:27 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 872443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the smaller size. It still looks relaxed, but it fits you beautifully and shows off your slim figure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872419 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 11:30:04 +0000 Deborah 872419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is down to how relaxed or slouchy you want the top to fit. I'm inclined towards the small though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872394 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 07:37:42 +0000 CocoLion 872394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look so similar to me, but I would go with the one with the better armhole fit. I don't think you need to alter the smaller size. It looks fine to me and you can't see any bra action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872362 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 05:27:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 872362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller sized tank looks better to me, and I love those jeans on you. To remedy the gaping, try pinching the underarm seam and the shoulder seam, to see which alteration gives the effect you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872278 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:52:18 +0000 Beth Ann 872278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this kind of understated sequin! Guess you're sorted on the size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872258 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:28:46 +0000 Adelfa 872258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, are your jeans women's? I can only find men's! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872256 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:28:13 +0000 Debora 872256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the smaller size! I feel that if this stretches at all, the larger size would be too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872255 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:27:30 +0000 amiable 872255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - I agree with the smaller too - and that gap is easily fixed by taking up in the shoulder seam (shortening the straps) a big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872251 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:23:56 +0000 Sarah A 872251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the smaller size. Trying to change the armhole too much on the larger sounds like a recipe for trouble and why... when the smaller size is so fab already? It is a much smaller alteration and thus more likely to be invisible upon completion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872247 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:20:28 +0000 Adelfa 872247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, smaller! Plenty of ease and drape! And thanks to AJ, because I was going to ask what those jeans were too--and thanks to you, I'm going right over to check on them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872212 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:45:00 +0000 Echo 872212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the smaller size definitely looks better. It provides some shape while still maintaining a comfortable amount of room. And I don't see the gaping at the arm as being an issue in the smaller size, TBH. I love the top, though, and it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872207 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:42:38 +0000 Charmian 872207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you wanted a "trendier" look, you could always pair this tank with trendier pieces (those BF jeans, for example). Since you've waited this long for the perfect sequined tank, I see no problem with going for a more classic fit so that you can wear it more often!</p> <p>( and yes, my vote is for the smaller one ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872204 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:36:11 +0000 Carla 872204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872188 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:25:56 +0000 sarah 872188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller size on you. Cute top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872160 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:55:19 +0000 DonnaF 872160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, how is the Sit Down Test at the hips and the view with the Lean/Bend Over Test? I'm assuming the smaller one is still the winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872148 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:47:15 +0000 unfrumped 872148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the smaller looks good and still has some drape. I think it is harder to try to.go too roomy in a tank, compared to what you can do with sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872131 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:34:51 +0000 Aida 872131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, good point. They both have that gape, so either way I need to get the shoulder altered to take it up. It just gapes more on the bigger one Movement-wise, they actually both feel good. The smaller size feels "comfortably loose" and the bigger size feels "breezy", if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872129 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:33:37 +0000 AJ 872129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the larger size is really big. Just the gaping at the arm hole is more noticeable. Pick what feels better movement wise.</p> <p>I always size to fit the accordian action of my mommy tummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-sequined-tank-to-keep#post-872128 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:33:32 +0000 Sona 872128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smaller for sure. </p>
