Happy Sunday! Here are the latest LOFT fitting room reviews. Below each photo is a link to a short video clip from my try-ons. They’re the same video clips I share on my Instagram stories. For reference I’m 5′ 2.5″ and 104.5 pounds.
LOFT Eyelet Split Neck Peplum Shell, size XXSP
LOFT Riviera Pants in Marisa Fit, size 24/00P
Sam Edelman Odila Sandal (true to size)
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
Size XXSP has a 34″ chest (measured pit to pit), 36″ waist and it’s 23″ total length. See size XSP on me here (picture) and here (video clip). This top runs big and boxy in my usual size XSP so I sized down to size XXSP. The arm pit holes are cut very high in the petite sizes but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Update 7/7: I wore this top twice and the high arm holes do bother me after all. I just can’t seem to win with sizing for some of their prettiest pieces.
These riviera pants run one size larger and size 24/00P first one size larger. Note that the pocket lining is see through in the front and back.
LOFT Embellished Embroidered Sweater, size XS regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
There are more new arrivals in store first that I shared at the end of this post. This sweater is new to stores first. It first true to size and it’s slightly sheer. Update 5/8: This sweater is now available online!
LOFT Eyelet Print Shift Dress, size XSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This dress runs true to size but the length is a big shorter than I prefer. The dress is lined so it’s not see through. The shoulder straps cut in ever so slightly so they don’t complete cover my bra straps unless I carefully tuck them in.
LOFT Striped Flutter Tie Waist Romper, size 00P
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This romper is really cute but it runs very loose in the waist so I fit the next size down. The tie waistband hit an inch above my belly button. It can be worn backwards as well since the back is more of a cross cross wrap style. The entire time I thought I was trying on size 0P (I remember thinking that I should grab size 00P to try on for comparison) until I came home and double checked the photo I took of the tag which verified that I had tried on size 00P. Update 6/24: This romper is now available in black and white stripes.
LOFT Paradise Shell, size XSP

The flutter sleeves on this top are similar to the ones on the eyelet flutter dress that I reviewed here. This top fits true to size for a looser fit.
LOFT Eyelet Stripe Shift Skirt, size 0P
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This pretty skirt runs true to size in the waist in my usual size 0P but it has a shorter length. It fits similar to last year’s eyelet medallion skirt (review and measurements here).
LOFT Mosaic Striped Split Neck Blouse, size XSP (review of size XS here)
Ann Taylor Modern Ankle Tie Skinny Crop Jeans, size 25/0P (review here)
Ann Taylor Gretel Metallic Leather Slides (past season favorites, current season version here)
J.Crew Factory Snowdrop Statement Earrings (old/sold out)

At the start of this sale I ordered this blouse when size XXSP popped back in stock. I should receive it in the mail tomorrow and I’ll keep you posted on how it fits. My usual size XSP pictured above fit very loose but the sleeves were better than size XS regular which I reviewed here. The v-neck was a little low on me and hopefully the smaller size will help with that issue as well since I would prefer not to wear a layering cami once it gets even warmer.
LOFT Floral Eyelet V-Neck Blouse, size XXSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This blouse is such a pretty color and I love the white embroidered detail. It has a looser fit so I tried on size XXSP but if you have a larger chest I would stick to your usual size.
LOFT Flutter Sleeve Boatneck Sweater, size XS regular
I previously reviewed this top in white here. See it styled in this post. I tried on the pink color here to decide if I should get it but I’ve been trying not to get duplicates of the same color. This top runs true to size for a short/boxy fit and I ended up taking my usual size XXS regular.
LOFT Dotted Sleeveless Wrap Dress, size XXSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This wrap dress fits true to size to slightly larger due to the wrap style. I am usually size XSP but size XXSP fit me well although it was slightly snug across my waist. The v-neck is lower than I prefer but it does cover my bra and bra straps well.
LOFT Polka Dot Tie Waist Dress, size XXSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
I loved this dress on Annie and I tried it on yesterday when I found size XXSP in the racks. Unfortunately size XXSP fit like a loose size XSP. There was too much material above the gathered tie waist so the excess material kicked out on the sides. I tried to wear it with the keyhole button closed but it didn’t help with the look or the fit.
LOFT Chambray Split Neck Peplum Blouse, size XSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This top fits true to size for a loose but flattering fit. The v-neck isn’t too low which I like and the material is soft and thin which is perfect for the summer. This top looks cute with jeans (above) and shorts (below).
LOFT Chambray Split Neck Peplum Blouse, size XSP
LOFT Eyelet Cuff Denim Shorts, size 24/00 regular

There are more new arrivals in store first that I shared at the end of this post. These shorts are new to stores first.
LOFT Keyhole Bell Cuff Blouse, size XSP
Also available in white and paisley
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This blouse flows beautifully and it’s perfect for work and play. The wild vine is a pretty olive color. It has a loose but flattering fit in my usual size XSP. There was only two left at the store I went to so I was happy to find it in my size. I love this top so much I took them home with me even though I didn’t find enough items to take advantage of using my Cares card for extra savings. If there were more sizes left online then I would have waited for a better sale to pull the trigger.
LOFT Floral Ruffle Henley Shell, size XSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This ruffle henley shell fits true to size. I would have preferred my usual size XXS regular for extra length after trying on size XSP since the curved shirttail hem comes up a bit higher on the sides. It comes in other colors and prints here.
LOFT Tasseled Tie Neck Bib Blouse, size XXSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
The bib detail on this blouse is really pretty but I didn’t like the lantern sleeves. Size XXSP fits similar to size XSP although the shoulders were a bit narrow. It’s slightly sheer so a layering cami is recommended. It has a looser fit so you can take your usual size or try sizing down for a closer fit.
LOFT Flounce Shell, size XSP
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This top has a very flowy fit throug hthe waist and hips so you could try sizing down for a better fit. My usual size XSP was very loose in the chest but then again I have a smaller bust.
LOFT Crosshatch Ruffle Shorts, size 24/00 regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
These shorts are very cute but they run big. I could fit four fingers with room to spare in my usual size 24/00 regular. I would go down at least one size. One of the online reviewers did mention that these wrinkle easily. I couldn’t find the petite sizes to try on for comparison so I passed on these shorts. Due to the pocket placement I wouldn’t free the pockets or else they’ll look funny whenever you sit down.
LOFT Ruffle Hem Riviera Shorts with 3 1/2 Inch Inseam, size 24/00P
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
I compared the waistbands of these shorts with the crosshatch shorts above and these shorts are over 1″ smaller. These shorts fit me in the waist but this print isn’t my usual style but I’ve seen others style it well. size 24/00P fits more like size 25/0P.
The following items are part of the upcoming new arrivals this May. Don’t worry they’re not sold out even though it appears that way online. Update 5/8: Everything shown below is now available online! Check out noteworthy new arrivals on my daily updates page!
There’s a new paisley dress that’s similar to this floral paisley umbrella that I’m excited about. I’m curious what sizes it will be offered in.
LOFT Striped Eyelet Shift Dress
LOFT Chambray Bar Back Flutter Top, size XS regular
LOFT Eyelet Cuff Denim Shorts, size 24/00 regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
This top is really cute but the shoulders may be a bit narrow so you may want to size up for comfort if you have broader shoulders. For reference, I have 14″ shoulders.
LOFT Eyelet Cuff Denim Shorts, size 24/00 regular
Click here to view the clip from my try-on
These shorts sit lower on the waist. Size 24/00 has a 30″ waist and a 2.5″ inseam. Surprisingly the leg opening doesn’t look too wide on my thin thighs. I took them in my usual size 24/00 regular at LOFT which fits like size 25/0P.
LOFT also unveiled a beautiful new store design at the re-opened location at the Garden State Plaza! I wanted to share pictures but then I realized that the account I follow is private so I can’t simply link to it to share with everyone. I am hoping to stop by and check it out on my way to the NJ and PA area in the next few weeks.

I am not sure how but I completely missed this pink ruffle collar bomber jacket. Did I miss out on the petite sizes or they haven’t yet appeared online (it shows that my recommended True Fit size is XS petite)? I am only seeing the missy sizes right now. Shop my other sales picks here:
