Ask Angie: This fit on the "Angie Pick" COS red top?!

Peri

Hi Angie, I imagine you are super busy, so bad timing, but my COS top arrived today. As soon as I saw it on your Summer Roundup post I knew I wanted to try it. I ordered according to the size chart...I measured a US 10. Which I never am, I'm usually a 6 or 8 at most, but I figured they aren't US based so they must not have caught the vanity sizing disease.

Well, wow, this 10 is huge! Is this how you had it fitting on your client? I think it has to go back, I'm just trying to decided whether to size down one size or two? How loose should this be fitting?

Or I'm open to exchange vs. return advice from everyone who wants to comment. Maybe the style just isn't for me?

I'm having a really hard time believing you're a size 10, or even an 8. You must be very tall because you sure look very slim.

Isabel, no I'm not so tall...5"5", kind of average. Just, who knows about size anymore?! I have things anywhere from XS to L, depending on the brand. I just thought maybe European lines weren't so crazy with the vanity sizing and that I should follow their size chart measurements. Guess not!

For funny, my DH was complaining last night about a shirt I said was too small on him. "But it's a medium!". He kept saying that like he actually thought all mediums are created equal. He should live in our world for awhile.

*chuckle* (And you caught me just before the mayhem starts tomorrow).

WOW. Great potential, Peri.

Yes. These are Euro sizes and COS runs big (I am usually sized out of their merchandise, actually). Size down at least a size. I think you will love that top. It's not suppose to be at all fitted.
