Calvine Klein- Sizing?

chewyspaghetti

Is anyone familiar with the sizing/quality for Calvin Klein? I am looking at a pair of ponte knit pants and a sweet pea like top on My Shape. I had seen nylon mesh tops at Kohl's that looked similar to the sweet pea ones, but when I tried them on the nylon was scratchy and not stretchy. Anyone know if they nylon mesh is similar in quality to sweet pea?

Khris, when looking at mesh Sweet Pea-like tops, make sure the fabric is nylon and not polyester unless you want warmth. I've tried a couple that looked like nylon but were polyester and they don't have the same comfort level as nylon. Scratchy doesn't sound good either. I bought an Express nylon mesh Sweet Pea-ish top but don't wear it much. It's not as stretchy.
Nordstroms usually has some Sweet pea tops on sale and I've found them at Marshalls and on consignment.

Yeah Joy- this is nylon. I can't do polyester- it doesn't agree with me. I am watching some sweet pea tops on ebay, but I really like the print on this Ck one- it's great with a yellow/orange floral design.

I haven't tried CK tops, but their dresses don't seem to fit big or small in general. But doesn't MyShape take your measurements and suggest a size for you?

I have Calvin Klein jeans and their sizing seems very true. I'm very happy with the quality and style too. I have a bid on another pair on Ebay right now. I can't speak to the tops, but it's probably similar.

Sarah- they do, but My Shape does not work at all for me. I have some strange anomaly that if I wore my actual measurements I would be swimming in it. I just got that Sweet Pea top there- and it fits really well. My Shape says it won't fit me at all.
Thanks Kristine.

I have walk shorts by CK and they ran huge. I have a sz2 and need to have the waist taken in, which is very rare for me. I guess it depends on the item.

I haven't purchased any CK jeans, but have tried on and I think I remember wearing the same size as in Levi's

I've tried on Calvin Klein stuff and found it ran large as well.

I ordered the CK skinny jeans in the YLF store and they should be arriving today so I'll chime back in and let you know.

Khris, I was just in Nordstrom Rack and they have Sweet Pea tops for $12-$15. They have long and short sleeve, sleeveless, and even halter styles in solids and prints. Do you have a Rack near you?

Khris,

I just got my CK jeans and would say they run very true to size, if not on the generous side.
