In case anyone was wondering, my message above won't make sense anymore because they fixed the error with the colors. Based on the order of the colors now, it looks like the color names stayed in the same order and they corrected the color dots and corresponding pictures. So, if anyone ordered the antique taupe or the topaz yesterday, you might want to check your order history and/or call customer service to make sure your order has the color you want.

Anyone out there size up 2 sizes on the layers tanks?
I am interested in A282742 and I always size up to a large in layers for comfort but I would like to wear these tanks as my outside layer and tend to shy away from doing that everytime I go up only on size. If I go up 2 sizes is it going to be way too long with huge arm holes?
Also for anyone considering the TSV, what would you think about going down a size? I like the cardigan and "need" (LOL!) a topaz color but I don't care for the way it looks so sloppy on the models. Maybe going one smaller than normal would help? Thoughts?

@elrager Yes, I think it would be too big in the armpits and, if not too long (because it's probably the same length) then too baggy.. Remember, this is from the Layers line and so is intended to be worn underneath something and has been cut as such (and they are snug even for that purpose so I do go up a size in Layers tanks.). Lori point out when a tank isn't Layers and often mentions how it's cut roomier so "you could wear it on its own." I just don't think Layers are cut that way. The armholes would be to large, and material "gaping" also so that I do think the armholes would look funny going up two sizes although you could wear a skinny tee or tank or something so people would not see your bra. But IMO it's not a good idea and, cute as they are, you should be happy that they'll "peek out" on the bottom. And if you want them to show more, you could always wear cardis that either don't close at all or, if they zip, then wear them open. But I truly do think you just need to think of these tanks as layers.

By "outside layer", do you mean on its own or over another top?
I think any of those tanks over a short-sleeve or elbow-sleeve top would look very nice and "on trend" as they say in marketing.
If you mean on its own or under a cardi or vest, I wouldn't size up. In fact, I'd try sizing down unless you already have a tank & cardi/vest that you can "test" to see how it looks/fits.

@elrager Check the click measurements. The Layers line runs small and usually @Biftu and I size up. I would not size down on a Layers piece but its up to you of course.

I like fake suede there is/are some nice ones out there. I got some leggings last year in a chamois color and love them
wish they wouldn't be so coy about the TSVs
promote them so viewers get excited and watch, we can't order it at the TS price....so what's the big deal.

I received an email with the discount, as I opted to have emails sent.

To clarify, @elrager stated that she always "sizes up" for Layers. My comment about "sizing down" meant order M instead of her usual "sized up" L.
Also, I do find it interesting that on other threads I have been repeatedly "reminded" that the "click here" measurements aren't accurate, yet in response to @elrager's question, she is being told to use the "click here" measurements.

I find the logo click here measurements to be a good guide; but whenever they are really off, as in the case of larger gaping armholes, I get my money back.
