FITTING ROOM REVIEWS
Ann Taylor Pineapple Lace Shell, size XS regular
Gap STRETCH 1969 true skinny ankle jeans in white, size 25P (last seen here)
Bandolino Mikea (old from DSW last year, similar here, last mentioned here)
I got a chance to try on this adorable pineapple lace top today in XS regular which is a boxy fit. I think XXS regular would be the best fit on me. It runs true to size but be prepared for it to be less form fitting. It fits exactly like their online stock image so I do not see how you can tuck it into the matching pencil skirt cleanly as they suggest since the lace material is thicker.
The inseam of the Gap white jeans pictured above was 24″ for size 25P and the waist was 27″ with a few inches of stretch. The ankle opening is 9″. They are shorter than the Ann Taylor pair (review here) so I’m tempted to order the regular length to compare.
Ann Taylor Floral Trim Sleeveless Sweater, size S regular
This floral trim sleeveless sweater is gorgeous in person but it looked fitted so I tried on size S which fit me pretty well. I would recommend going up a size or else this is the type of material that will show all your lady lumps/bumps. If you’re fit and trim then stick with your usual Ann Taylor sizing. The color is definitely ivory/cream in person and hopefully you can see the contrast against my white jeans.
Ann Taylor Gingham Button Down Blouse, size XS regular
I also tried on this gingham button down blouse and in person I liked the fit of size XS regular. However, when assessing the fit in these pictures I think size XXS regular would be a better fit on me. I’d say this blouse runs true to size. I like the pleats in the front and back but they can also look like too much extra material adding unwanted bulk as you can see from the picture on right.
