EEEK! 35'' chest measurement on S on SS ENR

Has anyone ever seen a 35'' chest on a WK sweater? Automatically ordered my S and then checked measurements. Have never worn a M in WK. Think I'll call CS and ask about the SS ENR.It's the one thing I definitely wanted to order to wear under my cardigan.

On the tank A253408 which is also an ENR garment I sized UP to a Medium so it could be semi fitted and that particular chest measurement was a 35.5 and I wear a 36C bra.

Look at the X back set in sleeve measurement too to determine your size.

I just did a double take myself. The across the back measurement on the large is a bit larger than I normally wear, but since the waist and chest are more in line with the usual WK medium, I decided to go with the large. Last year's WK two-fer was too large in the M and I sized down to a S and it works beautifully. I hope I'm not sorry. Like Gardens, every time I try to second guess my M in WK tops, I'm sorry I did and a replacement is usually sold out.

See you all in twenty minutes!

I ordered my regular size in the SS ENR. Like lavendar, I want it to go under my cardigan because there was no green tank. I was worried when I first read lavendar's post and checked the click here measurements. They do look REALLY small in my regular WK size. But then I went to my closet and looked at the ENR tank I bought to go with the red cardi. It's my usual WK size and I'm happy with the fit. Then I looked at the click here measurements for the tank- really small. I think maybe the ENR has more give???? In any case, like Gardensla, I'm always sorry if I let the measurements divert me from my usual WK size. So I'm letting my order stand (with fingers crossed of course). Wink

Called CS and got a "click measurements are always right," type. I ordered twofers in my usual size S. Should check other measurements. Have not found a WK with less than a 37'' chest in S.

This is one item I really want. I could leave everything else behind.

The ENR always has a lot more give than other knits. I stick with my usual size in ENR items even though the measurements (flat on a surface) seem smaller.

shoes: there is a HG tank. I wanted the SS sweater; more useful than a tank. Will order the S. Thought the ENR might have less give, didn't understand. I did go up in my LL. I want to wear the jackets over other clothes.

Thanks, lavendar. I should have said that the tank that works for me didn't come in the green. The tank that was HG doesn't work as well on my short self. And I agree with you - the SS is more versatile. Now hopefully we ordered the right size!

Order your regular WK size in this sweater. I have it in black, ivory, hot pink and yellow, and it has a LOT of stretch in the fabric. You do not need to size up. Hope that helps!

I thought that this top (A257382) was new?? There are no reviews yet. But I appreciate hearing that your regular size worked, since I ordered my regular WK size in this one.
