Tiny Cashmere: American Eagle Outfitters

by AlterationsNeeded on November 6, 2009

American Eagle Outfitters has some cashmere sweaters this season…and because the brand is marketed toward teens and college students, they tend to run small. I sometimes pop into American Eagle for tank tops, and other basics, but I’ve also bought some sweaters there in the past. I’m always on the look-out for fitted cashmere sweaters, so when I saw this one at ae.com, I knew it had a chance of running small. Am…

Tiny Cashmere: Aqua

by AlterationsNeeded on September 17, 2009

Aqua is a Bloomingdales house brand that sometimes runs pretty small, and is geared toward a teenage/early 20′s market. It’s cheaper than other Bloomingdales brands, and is cut to fit a slimmer frame. I usually walk right past the Aqua department because the fabric contents are less than what I’m looking for, but I got sucked into their cashmere department over the weekend and found this little number. Look at how cropped and …

Tiny Cashmere: Abercrombie and Fitch

…les and/or sleeves. 4. Length that overwhelms my tiny frame. Juniors sweaters sometimes work, but they are usually made from cheap fabric and so not very cozy. So, it’s safe to say I’ve been on the hunt for a tiny cashmere sweater for quite some time. All the “items every woman should own” lists have cashmere as a top wardrobe priority, but every one I found was about 1-2 sizes too large. So when I saw Abercrombie & Fi…

Do you ever find yourself gravitating toward a particular item over and over again, only to decide each time not to buy it for whatever reason? Maybe it’s too expensive, or not quite what you’re looking for, but each time you see it, you have to walk over to it, touch it, try it on, and mull over it one more time? That’s been my relationship with this Vince rouched cashmere cardigan for probably about a year now. When I first s…

Brand that Sometimes Runs Small: Banana Republic Petites

by AlterationsNeeded on September 14, 2008

…n are of this variety. For example, this top fit me fantastically! Petite sleeveless tie-neck top (rayon/spandex) Jackets: I’ve found a few blazers in P00 that have worked me, and each one has had the word “stretch” on the label. Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit. Pants: Just like with the jackets, the P00 pants that have the word “stretch” so…
