Okay - Reassure me again

ILoveChoo · Hermes

YES!! I saw in in person this weekend and it was even more gorgeous than I thought it would be.

Oh, and it was at the Anthro in Tysons Corner, VA and they had all the small sizes so maybe you can call them and have it shipped.

Any idea on how the sizes run? I'm usually a 4 in Gap tops??

kenzie · Chanel

I think that you should definitely get it. It might not be worth $98 to someone else, but I think that b/c you love it so much and have outfits planned for it that you'll get your money's worth.

lynnie · Chanel

I think it runs kind of big. I tried it on in a 4, and it was baggy on me. You can check my thread styles for pics of my body, I'm small, but not a size 2. I am 5'6", 132 lbs, solid size 4 or 28 (27 in vanity sizing), 34B....

jj · Kate Spade

There are lots at the anthro in georgetown too. I wore mine to a party this weekend, and got tons of compliments, if that helps!

Fit: I wear a 4 in gap, and I got a 4 in this top too. I am tall (5'9"), but small on top (34B).

Problem: I don't like the sash tied in the front. It looks odd. So I wear mine in a bow in the back. Also, the silk is so very delicate, I don't think this top will be in heavy outfit rotation. I am going to keep dry cleaning to a minimum.

I vote get it, and if you are lucky like me, the store won't charge you shipping (that happened with a sweater I got from the B'ham store last week).

rar210 · Marc Jacobs

Yeah, the silk worries me too. What do you wear with yours?? Is it shiny in person?? A lot of silk tops are.

jj · Kate Spade

It's not shiny, happily. I have worn mine with jeans (every top I own must go with jeans), chocolate brown pants and a skirt I just got at banana, but it's not online. It is exactly like this one:

but in a heavier satin material. And it's taupe. I should probably post a picture.

Any idea on the length. I'm pretty short but I'm longer in the torso area and HATE short tops.

jj · Kate Spade

Do you think you would wear a 4? If yes, I can do a quick measurement of mine tonight.

rar210 · Marc Jacobs

That's okay - I called a store and there shipping it to me and told me it should only take a couple days to recieve it. I'm not ever going to stop thinking about it, until I see it in person and try it on! I can always ship it back if needed . Thanks for all of your help, hopefully I'll have the same luck with it that you have!

GOOD FOR YOU! Didn't you already post an outfit you can wear this with? teal gap pants?? I thought you'd already bought this! so, since I was already impressed with your outfit foresight I am even happier for you!

Wear it well!!!!

jj · Kate Spade

Hooray! I hope it works!
