Thanks, Cindy and Kari, for the color confirmation. Kari, I thought of you when I was considering jewelry and I'm so glad you gave me your thoughts, because your jewelry and accessory choices are always so superb.

Hi Vicky,

I just saw your comments regarding the bands. I am thinking now more that ever that the top is not fitting me as snug as it should. I'm waiting for the smaller one to see. Thank you for letting me know.

That top looks amazing on you!

Thanks, Zap. I'm glad this helps you to find one that works for you. It's fitted, but very comfortable. Can't wait to see you in your new size!

I'm glad you are keeping it, you look amazing in it!

Vicki, if you don't mind my asking, when you say the top fits like a glove, exactly how close is the fit? Is it:

a) skintight - negative ease on torso and arms (I expect not based on your photo)
b) skintight - 0 ease on torso and arms (ie, it's not stretching out but there isn't any space between the garment and your skin)
c) tightly fitted - very small amount of positive ease on torso and arms (you could wear a swimsuit underneath without it showing through)
d) fitted - small amount of positive ease on torso and arms (you could wear a standard tank underneath without it showing through)

It looks like it's either b) or c) from the photos, but I couldn't be sure. Thanks if you see this! I'm having a hard time figuring out how mine should fit on me.

Good question and excellent observational detail, Sylvie. I would say you hit it right on the mark, between B and C. The sleeves feel a bit more snug than the torso, but not by much, because I can adjust (scrunch or lengthen) the sleeves with ease. It feels sleek, without feeling constricting. Hope this helps. It would be fun to have a few bandage top siblings out there. What color are you thinking about?

Do you have it at home now and can you post a photo?

Vicki, thanks so much for responding.

I have the teal one (see #5) but it's at 0 ease on the torso and negative ease on the arms. It looks like I'll definitely need to size up.

I picked up two larger sizes from the store and I'll start my own thread after I've photographed them to ask for advice. Thank you again for your feedback, because I can use it as a fit reference.

um, i gasped when i saw these. amazing. i feel uncomfortable when i wear red too. yet, when i do, people go crazy for it on me. as we are going nutso about this on you. i find i have to be having an energetic, happy day to handle wearing red or i feel agitated. This just looks so good on you. love.

The fit of the top is amazing, Vicki! You have such a beautiful figure.

Vicki so glad you are keeping this. The fit is perfect, the color lovely and your styling just right! The flared trouser is the perfect balance for the top. While it might be a not of a departure for you, I think this top still says "Vicki".

Big fat keep vote from me. This top looks amazing on you both for fit and the color!
