Macys Bar III sizing?

rae

A couple of things caught my eye and the freinds & family sale is still on... Anyone have experience with sizing? All the reviews say is whether things are "cute" or not...

Rae, Denise bought this brand last year as I recall. She might be able to help you out.

I think it runs small (or else I'm deluded about what my size is). The few pieces I've tried on from them in my normal Ann Taylor/Gap/Nordstrom size were too tight on me. I felt like the cuts definitely catered towards a more slender figure than mine. Try the same size you'd wear in a brand that caters towards early 20-somethings.

Rae -- I sent you a PM.

To summarize for others -- yes, it fits more like Jrs sizing or sizes at UO. But for voluminous/oversized items, I still took my regular size or even one smaller.

I realize this is a year later, but I wanted to chime in on Bar III. I just ordered one of their tops in XS from macys.com since I normally do well with XS from their other brands. When the top came in, I was stunned. It looked like a 10-year-old's top! It was so tiny. My local Macy's had other sizes, so I returned it. I tried on the same top in a large, and it fit fine. It doesn't make any sense since I'm 5'3", 110 lbs, and 32-27-36. I also tried on another Bar III top in a large for the heck of it. It was too big in the bust area, but otherwise was fine. I don't get this designer.
