Sizing on short sleeve maxi?

I usually wear an Xs, but the chest measurement is 34.5 and it’s making me pause. The moss crepe midi from last fall was 37” in an xs and I did find that to be a little generous.

Are you ladies sticking with your usual size for this dress? It will be good to see what sizes the models are wearing...I hope they share that.

I went with my usual XXS although sometimes I need an XS. That is a small XS chest measurement. Hope I shouldn’t have sized up. Maybe they’ll say what size the models are wearing.

Re: Sizing on short sleeve maxi?

Thanks Seka.  By the way, I found Guelph, Ontario to be charming and the people there were so friendly (this is Karen in WI on the Linea forum and you so nicely offered your assistance when I said I would be flying into Toronto for treatment for my son in Guelph).  We stayed at a beautiful, historic B&B and the walk through the historic neighborhood to the clinic was lovely.  My son and I felt so cared for by the people at the clinic and our innkeepers. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to visit Ontario again, just for fun.

 

Flying in and out of Toronto was actually pretty easy and everyone at the airpor/rental car were very friendly.  It acually didn't snow both days we had to drive to and from the airport and I prayed that it would be so!  Thanks for your help with direction to Guelph and your offer.  I really was very touched.  I hope you and your family have a very lovely Easter, if you celebrate.  Hugs and blessings!

Dress worn by the model in the picture looks huge. Definitely not ordering without seeing the presentation. Why is it difficult having models wear the correct size?

That model usually wears a size smaller than I do- Instead she is in my size small.  I don't wear polyester-is this polyester different?

@mam2fourboys - Thank you for your note!  Am happy that all went well for your visit. Yes - Guelph is a lovely city!  

 

As I mentioned previously - my Best Friend lives in Guelph - and we’ll be celebrating this Easter with her Family there.  My Family celebrates Easter and Christmas according to the Julian calendar - which this year Easter falls on April 8th.  We usually celebrate both Easters - Christmases as well.

 

Wishing Happy Easter to you and your Family - and for continued progress for your Son’s recovery.

Re: Sizing on short sleeve maxi?

I went with my usual Linea dress size. I compared the "click here" measurements to the midi dress that I purchased last year. The measurements for this dress do seem a little smaller than the midi dress, however, I didn't want to go up a size for fear that it would be huge on me.  I purchased these this morning as I might miss the presentation. I can only watch when the shows coincide with my lunch hour at work. I wonder too if I made a mistake by purchasing before I watch the presentation and maybe Louis would give comments on the fit of the dress. I wonder if measurements listed for this dress is the same situation as the "click here"  measurements given for the crop ponte pants last month.

I ordered up: the PM. If the chest is correct it's smaller than usual. The midi gauze crepe fits me in the chest : 36D. It is roomy in the rest of the body. I'll compare their measurements.
