Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered the red and navy. Love this shirt & have it in many colors, plus several in white. It's a wardrobe staple.

I have both and the fit is very similar. Stay with your XS.

Thanks so much!!

I like the style and price of this shirt, but I've always stayed away because of how wrinkled it looks on the model--especially around the collar (see photos of blue, grey, sea green).  Is this a garment that's going to need quite a bit of TLC at the ironing board?

It does require ironing but it is well worth it.

I wear a size large in most Linea but I am at the bigger end of the size if things are fitted.  Would those who have this shirt recommend going up to an XL?  I am afraid to wait on the new colors as I think those will go the quickest.  Thank-you

If you have a problem with button down shirts gaping in front I would go up a size - I have to in this shirt to avoid that.

Thanks for the update on colors - after looking at the red on Louis' blog - I jumped on it.  Will brighten my spirits during our Chicago winter.

I was trying not to order two different sizes to avoid the gape since i am busty so I ordered my regular size which is now on waitlist for the seagreen and white but I also ordered a size up in the white and red.  Glad I checked in to this forum I'll try to change my waitlist shirts to a larger size.

Got my navy Kate shirt today.  I can think of so many ways to wear it.  I also got the navy herringbone linen blend jacket Courtney was wearing for the Linea show (Liz Clairborne).  Think the shirt will look good under that.
