Sizing on Pleione Mixed Media Tunic

Aquamarine

Does anyone know if this runs true to size? I sized down on the short-sleeved version. The description says true to size, but I always feel that gets changed based on reviews (and there are only 2 now).

I don't have any experience with this specific top, but I do have a Pleione mixed media blouse from last year as well as the wrap blouses (both long-sleeved and sleeveless) from Angie's picks and they all run large. I ordered the smaller of my two sizes and they are very fluid//borderline too big.

I have 2 of these (a white and a black) from last year. I love them. I find they are pretty TTS - running a bit big I suppose. I have tried on the short sleeve version as well as the sleeveless version and definitely sized down in those (I have size S in these tunic but fit the XS in the short sleeved and sleeveless styles). The sleeves on these tops fit a bit narrow but are stretchy. They are super versatile. I wore mine a ton & recommend them.
(added photos - I hope the black one is correct - for sure the white one is )

I have this in two colors in PXS and I normally take PS. I am in between a P2 and P4; a P2 in the shoulders and P4 everywhere else. Since this is roomy in the everywhere else places, the smaller size fit me better in the shoulder and the opening hit in a better place. The arms look more snug than I prefer, but I have very chunky upper arms. In wide necked Ts, I also usually need to size down both to fit in the shoulders and get a higher neckline.

There used to be a ton of reviews on this blouse. Wonder where they went?

WARNING: This blouse wrinkles a TON, especially in the woven front. The knit back doesn't wrinkle as much.

Thanks all for the tips. I am an IT and typically need the room in the shoulders but less so in the waist area.

Carambola, I have the short sleeved ones as well as a wrap one and agree they run big.

Jackiec, they look great on you, just the fit I am after.

DonnaF, I wonder if the fabric is different from the shirt sleeve version--that one doesn't wrinkle at all for me.

Aquamarine, come to think of it, I don't think the short sleeve ones are mixed media and not rayon. If I were IT, I would get my regular size or get two sizes and resign myself to returning the size that didn't look as good. Especially when a sale or double points is at stake, I usually buy two sizes just to hedge my bets. Obviously, I return a lot!

I tried on and bought one of these today - I'm a pear who can be L or XL and I went with an L. The XL was just too oversized for my taste. Might be different if you need more room in the shoulders, though.
