Wow    I am glad my shirts worked out  [ size wise]    I was going to up one size but they kept saying they were stretchy so I didn't.

@nada54 it's a continuing problem for me.  It's why I don't buy clothing online so much.  I ordered the Skinny Girl jacket that was the TSV on HSN the other day.  But, after reading the actual garment measurements I realized I needed to go up a size from what I ordered and so I canceled it and ordered up a size.  I had to go with a different wash though.  

 

Recently, I bought one of those GMA specials, UPF tops, and went with their recommended sizing for my measurements.  When I received them, they were, once again, wearable, but really a size larger than I would've liked.  

 

BTW, I just posted a pic of that Guliana Tulip Skirt over in the Outfit of the Day thread, so you can see it's not THAT big on me.  It's got a little stretch, but not like the super stretchy jeans they're always selling.

@nada54  - I have ALOT of Giuliana items in my wardrobe. Have shopped her brand since she launched it approx 10 yrs ago. Having also shopped a variety of fashion brands at H and Q, it's a given that there can be sizing issues for a variety of reasons. Online fashion shopping does present challenges. 

No matter which brand, none are perfect or completely'consistent'. Using the garment sizing charts has been the best guideline per my experience. G's line is pretty consistent - I typically order size small in most items without issues. My body type requires me to usually order up 1 size for fitted jackets especially if I will be wearing something bulkier like sweaters.

 

Yep, misses/returns/exchanges is just part of the online shopping experience no matter the brand or retailer. And not everything is for everyone. I just return what doesn't fit me properly or is disappointing. No biggie. You win some, you lose some. I think some folks are better off shopping B&M and that's far from consistent or perfect too. But then who is gonna listen to their complaints, lol

Good Morning! I got my blue tie dye G tees yesterday & love them. Love the length & doesn't cling but just slides on the body. The feel of the fabric is light & cool (feels like butta) & not see thru for a change. I live in Florida so I will get good use out of these. I also got something out of my comfort zone but love it on! I tryed on the matching (cocoon) Cardie. Its light but not filmsy & the way it drapes is gorg!
