Question about Equipment signature shirt fit

cciele

So I know these shirts are supposed to be oversized, right? I'm wondering how the shoulders are supposed to fit. Are the shirts oversized but fitting at the shoulder, or should the shoulder seam fall a bit below the shoulder?

Thanks for your help!

Oooh! I also have a question about these shirts, hope you don't mind me jumping on your thread.

If anyone has the white silk shirt, is it sheer? In other words, do you *have* to wear a cami or tank underneath it?

I have heard a lot about Equipment shirts on the forum but I am relatively new to YLF and don't know exactly which shirt you are talking about. Would you mind to add a link? Thanks!

I have a white one, I wore it to the opera. But I honestly can't remember those details. I'll check when I get home.

I guess it is smidge sheer because you can see my waist band. I did not wear a camisole.

I have a ridiculous weakness for Equipment shirts. I always vow that such and such will be my last and then a new fun pattern lures me in. The whites I find not too sheer, I only wear camisoles if they are silk chiffon. But semi-sheer rarely bothers me.

The signature fit is quite oversized. I always size down from my regular M to a S. Even the small fits quite a bit bigger than the medium slim signature. The seams of the shoulders are dropped about two inches even with the size difference. Hope that helps!

I find that the shoulder seam is dropped. I have four (eep!) -- solid blue and solid black are a nice heavy weight, and the green watercolor print and the grey snake print are sheerer (I wear a tank top under those). I generally wear a size 6 or 8 top and I wear these shirts in a size small. They *just* fit at my hip at that size.

I have a few of these in the Signature style and one (the green snake print) in the Brett cut. I find the shoulder seam is not dropped on me, although the shirt is oversized - but that's consistent with my IT body type.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Hm, I guess it depends on body type and the print type as far as the proper size! I tried one on in M in fuschia and one in blue and the fuschia was HUGE and the blue is less huge. The shoulders are somewhat dropped in the blue. I will post pics when I get a chance!

cciele, I wear the signature style in an XS and the Brett in a S. Signature runs large!

I got a large and I'm a 10 in tops. The medium didn't fit how I wanted.

I find the signature runs extremely large. I have a long sleeved and a sleeveless, both in XS and the shoulders drop on the long sleeve as mentioned above. I am 5'3" so that is a factor.

Wow, seems like there's a variety of fit experiences here, most tending toward the "very large" end. I'm looking for something oversize but not so much that I am swimming
