…descope Top I was lucky enough to snag the above silk top in petite XXS before it sold out online, and let me just say I am very excited about this new size. As I reviewed in my earlier post about Banana Republic petite silk tops, the PXS has always fit about 1-2 sizes too large on me. Well, when this baby arrived in the mail, I couldn’t wait to try it on, but was careful not to get too excited, because there was a chance even this size wo…

…l. First…the good… Banana Republic Short-Sleeve Twist-Detail Top in Petite XXS, $49 70% rayon, 30% lyocell Banana Republic Linen Blend Ruffle Top in Petite XXS, $59 56% linen, 44% viscose The fit on both these tops were great. The length, shoulders, sleeves, and torso width are all great, and work right off the rack. I really liked the twist-detail top, but the cut-outs along the neckline showed my bra on both the shoulders and to…

…XS. It’s cut really slim, and the neckline stops at a flattering length, which is a plus. I’d like to see the armholes higher, as a tiny bit of my bra peaked out from the side, but this happens to me with a lot of tops, even petite ones, so I can’t complain too much. The length is a bit long for me, but a simple hemming would fix this cheaply. Does Nordstrom hem tops and blouses for free at full retail prices? If so, then the le…

…ite sizing only goes down to a petite XS, with petite XXS only available online. I didn’t try any pants while I was there, because I haven’t had luck with BR pants in over a year. But I did pick up a couple of tops, and tried on a white dress shirt that I almost bought, but decided to pass on last minute. The tops are a perfect fit, right off the rack. I was happy to find something in a print, because most of my wardrobe is solids…

Abercrombie & Fitch generally runs pretty small, especially when you find items that say “shrunken fit” in the description. I’ve had good luck with sweaters (cashmere!) and tank tops in size XS, but there is of course the problem of it being Abercrombie & Fitch…known for catering to pretentious teenagers and the home of tacky moose embroidery.
