Yoox layered shirt - keep or return?

It came last night. I love the vibe but am so so on the fit. Just so happens the graphic I couldn't well see is a night scene with the surface of the moon close up. I'm a stargazing geek, so it's right up my alley. The underlayer is snug, while the cardi on top seems perfectly flowy. Sizing up I'm afraid would make the cardi overwhelming. And how funny that the top seems to pull on the bust just after my proclaiming on the blog that I don't have this fit issue lol. The graphic top is 100% cotton, so it will have some give, but even the tag says it could shrink up to 5% (some Dutch thing to list it I guess?)

yay - keep
nay - return

Thanks!

Did you have to buy this as a set? I do think the under layer is a little snug, but I am LOVING the concept for your style. I like it best in #3.

yes, Angie, it is a set, and can be separated at the shoulder line. I like the vibe very much - just not sure on whether I can gamble a size up or deal with snug underlayer

Hmmm. It might be worth a try going up a size. You never know.

I would try up a size. I really like this on you!

Yeah, I think the next size up, too. Hopefully the difference will be juuuuust enough. I love the moon scene!

I think it is really cute and would size up.

I like it as is. 100% cotton has give, it looks as if that pull will correct itself out with wear. I also think it is really a bad idea to put this is the washing machine anyway, so It shouldn't shrink if handwashed. I would love to see the next size up too though.

It's so cool, but ya, the shirt is not quite slouchy enough. Try a size up. Picky and patient, right?

I think a size up would work as the cardi is meant to be loose so you probably won't notice that the cardi is a little big, whereas the shirt is more noticeable that its a bit small. Plus then you don't have to worry about shrinkage, and maybe the cardi will shrink a bit...pop it in the dryer?

I'd keep only if you'd be OK with tossing the underlayer if it shrank after washing. Otherwise, I think you have no option but to size up. Maybe having more drape on the overlayer might be in line with the designer's intention?

Okay, size up it is! And both points, that I could try and shrink the cardi if I found it huge, or that the designer intends more slouch, are both taken

EDIT: Argh - only S and XS left! No chance of sizing up. Decisions, decisions . . . sigh.

Just popping in to say I like this -- it looks like you but it's different than what you usually wear. The snugness in the top isn't that noticeable, so how about keeping it?

Guess I'm not totally patient and picky, more like wear it and enjoy it!

Can you tell if the fabric has give? I dunno, that tee looks like one of those you can see a mold of your boobie silhouette on, as you take it off LOL. Sorry if TMI. It looks as if the fabric has zero memory. If not, I vote return.
