SG TSV - sizes running larger than usual?

Goldengate8361 — Thu, 05 Jan 2017 09:10:44 GMT

Has anyone else noticed that the sizing seems to be running larger than usual in the TSV top? Going by the garment size chart, I ordered a 6, although I usually order a size 8 in SG tops. Honestly, it looked like I could have worn a 2 or a 4, but I find it unbelievable that I'd ever order anything in a 2 or 4! I really like the top; I hope I don't end up having to pay for returns because of sizing issues!

Trust, I'm just as confused as you are!! And no one seems to be addressing the size at all!! I so upset because I want to order it and have no clue what size I need too!!!

Not sure about the TSV top.....but i find lately i think the sizing in her clothing has gotten a bit smaller...and i have lost weight..............maybe it is just getting all over the place....?

I definitely have had to start sizing down a size, at least with liquid knit. Used to take a medium, now a do better with a small. (And I'm not what I would call a small person!). But I do love liquid knit.....the way it looks and the way it feels! Plus, it's so "easy-care".

Recently purchased one day only price SG new pointe knit leggings. Chose the large thought ooh no! Should have ordered XL from reading review that said she wears 14 ordered large. Good thing didn't choose XL even tho I'm size 16 or 18. XL would have been huge! Before washing read the label noticed size listed inside for England XL for USA Large. To funny!! Probably Large is really XL.

@kelsey17 Yes, I've noticed that some SG items seem smaller lately, which makes sizing even more confusing since the TSV appears to be larger than usual (according to the garment size chart). Oh well....it's a gamble, I guess.

I would like to have the white and blue but I have no idea what size to order. I am 5'9" tall and usually wear a large and sometimes extra large. I have issues with her tops and blouses. If it fits through the body it's too tight through the muscle circumference of the arm and shoulders. It if fits in the upper arm area, it's too tight everywhere else. I don't have that fit problem with other brands or designers out in retail. This one is a pass for me.

Sizing is HUGE! Yes, I know it is a big shirt but I would not want it to be a tent..... The last item I purchased from her line I ordered a xsmall...according to the size chart -which I always check before ordering.

I should have ordered the small.....I see lots of returns happening with the TSV.

I think this shirt would have been great for work but again no petite's. Oh well saved some money!

The sizing seems very large. They say a size 2 has a 42 in chest. But when I saw the Large model at midnight, her blouse was gapping badly because she was a little busty. Then Susan quickly showed the back and it was pleated. That may account for the bug chest measurements but I would not buy because I am a littl busty and it would probably gap.

I like that they run a graphic showing the sizes, but a size 10 has a chest size of 46"! I guess I will pass on this one, I am short and it would be too long. I'd really like a few of this type shirt, maybe someday!

BTW, HSN had Wendy Williams button front shirts some time back. They are lovely shirts, fit well and I can wear a large (165# 5'-3").

I wish SG would be consistent in her sizing, one doesn't know what to order.

Even though the chest size according to the size chart is running large, I'd be worried about going down too many sizes. For example the sleeve hole circumference at the shoulder gets smaller as you go down and might be uncomfortable if too small. Just my thoughts.

I definitely think the sizing is due to the pleating on the back. I say get your regular size. unless you're very busty. The bustier/larger models seem to have some pulling on their shirts at the bust and they were wearing their regular size. Jess the 1x model was wearing the 18 and it looked like she couldnt even button it up even if she wanted too.! (she had a tank under it). the size 2 models and even Susan (wearing her usual 4 ) had a good fit.

This shirt is made to flare out at the bottom. Susan seems to have issues with making a top that actually fits a woman that isn't broad across the beam. This shirt will also not flatter a petite woman, it would just look sloppy. The petite models I've seen so far wearing it, are not what I would call a true petite. My thought is that all that extra fabric on a button front blouse would just look sloppy on anyone,

feel free to disagree with me, but I don't like the numbered sizes. had this tsv been in xs,s,m,l,xl,1x,2x,3x, I would have ordered at least one. I find those sizes to be more forgiving, and I don't like returning.

This is a pass for me too.

During Susan's show this morning she said you should order true to size so it fits your shoulders. It is supposed to be a relaxed fit. I also think the measurements seem huge. I am still debating because I am a small or medium on top depending on the cut. If I order I will definitely order down to a size 4.

This blouse seems to have a lot of material in the back and less in the front. On the bustier models it is gaping at the bust line, but has plenty of room in the back.

i think the bust measurement is off. It's giving the circumference of the blouse, not the bust measurement of the person. It seems large because the back of the blouse is generous.

it it looks like it's running true to size according to the size the models are wearing. The petite model was almost 5'5" that's average, not petite. It looks like it would not fit a true petite person.

I think if you want to take a chance of buying and paying the return charges throw a dart and pick your size. The blouse looked tight on Leah and I don't think it is flattering. If you are tall and thin this might flatter you. I find that her clothing is not stylish and overpriced. I quit buying her line about 6 years ago.

I also orded a WW button down shirt in my usual size. Very satisfied with fit and material and nowhere near $40. IMO SG is way overpriced for a simple blouse.

The only person I saw so far that looked good in this blouse buttoned up was the model Katia. Susan Graver sizing does not allow enough room in the bust area and then if you size up for that issue it will be big everwhere else. I find the best look for this blouse if you are not built up and down like Katia is to leave it open and use it as a shirt jacket. Carolyn Gracie should have left it opened. She is very thick in the middle.
