Review on Floral Tunic Tops For Women: Casual, Short Sleeve, And Flowy Shirts In Plus Sizes by Paul Koehler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice material but definitely runs small!

I read several of the reviews, some which said the blouse ran really small, some said it was true to size. So I decided to size up one size and here is what I found: The material is a nice, soft t-shirt type material with a little stretch. Tag says 65% cotton, 35% polyester. I'm HOPING it wont shrink in the dryer, since I do dry everything. But I am really glad I went up a size. In fact, it was actually 2 sizes, but I have been finding that most things I buy on Ebay are running small, so it was up one size from what I normally buy on Ebay.I am 5 ft. 5 and weigh 265 (no judgement!). I wear a 46C bra size. In most tops a 26-28 fits comfortably. A little loose but definitely no cling! My closet is a cling-free zone! In Catherine's clothing I am a solid 3x or 3xwp. Bottoms I am a 22-24 or 2x. Romans/Woman Within I am a 2x, unless it is all cotton in which case I size up because their stuff shrinks a lot! Avenue clothing I am all over the board because it depends on the material and the manufacturer.With this top I actually ordered a 5x and it fits just right BEFORE it has been washed and dried. I am hoping it won't shrink so before I order any more, I am going to wash this as I normally would and see how it fits after. Otherwise, I really like the material and the cut. It is very cute and comfortable. If it shrinks I will have to order up another size on future ones. But, out of the box, it definitely does NOT run true to size.it is small by at least one size, if not 2.UPDATE: I washed and DRIED the top like I usually do and it did NOT shrink significantly. Maybe just slightly but not enough to warrant sizing up another size IMO. It fits very similar after washing and drying as the new, unwashed one I had ordered at the same time.

Pros
  • I truly like the shirt. I bought another one.
Cons
  • Fabric is too sheer and requires additional layers
